PDC Sold Out in Record Time, Now What? Join us for a Recap!

  • Article

So PDC was a bit smaller this year due to being held on the Microsoft Campus in Redmond Washington this fall.  As expected, it sold out quickly and we have a LOT of disappointed folks who would love to see and hear what happened, maybe even get in on some of the hands on labs. If you live in the Midwest, you’re in luck! We are holding a couple of PDC days in Milwaukee and Downers Grove to give you a chance to see some of the keynotes, as well as get your hands dirty with some of the labs (you supply the laptop!).  If you live outside of the Midwest, check our MS Events page and search for “PDC 10 Local”, or contact your local evangelist https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/bb905078.aspx

Event Overview

Watching the PDC10 keynote online helps you keep up to speed on what is going on, but wouldn’t it even be better to watch the keynotes with a bunch of fellow Microsoft developers? Of course it is! Join about 100 other developers to watch the PDC 10 keynotes in the morning and dig into the PDC 10 labs in the afternoon. You bring a  laptop, we’ll supply mentors, instructors, and some fun. Lunch will be provided.

Event starts at 9am and continues until 4:45pm. Welcome time is 8am, so get there early and grab a great seat!
