I’m off to VS Live Las Vegas for a few days this week. I was in the UK last week and I leave early Wed-Fri for a trip this week.
If you’ve never been to VS Live, it’s a neat event. Smaller than many conferences, but it covers a bunch of different technologies for developers. Databases are a small part, and I’m always honored when I get to speak there. I hear different perspectives and questions than I find at many data professional events.
I also learn some interesting things about software development from others. To me, this is a great way to round out my knowledge. When I was more of an attendee than a speaker, I liked going to these events that are focused on multiple technologies.
If you want a last minute trip to Vegas, come this week. If not, there are some other great events coming up this year. Think about going to one if you do a lot of development:
- VS Live Nashville – May 15-19
- VS Live MS HQ – Jul 17-21
- VS Live San Diego – Aug 7-11
- VS Live Orlando – Nov 12-17
I won’t be at those, sadly, but my schedule is a little crazy in 2023, so I’m limiting the submissions. Hopefully I’ll do a few more of these next year.

WOW, VS Live! I used to go to those every day (budget permitting) in my old job. I went to different ones. The VS Live I liked the most happened in Orlando. I learned a lot from those. And developed lifelong friends. Hmmm. This reminds me, I should reach out and see how my friend is doing.

It was a fun event. I really like VS Live and it’s neat to see people talking about different topics and tech. A lot of soft skills at the events in the last few years. Hardcore .NET stuff, but also some how do we work as a team.
