TechBash 2017 – Speakers, Sessions and Discounted Ticket Info

Posted on | by Alvin A.

If you are a regular reader, you are probably familiar with TechBash. It’s a 3-day conference for developers featuring top speakers speaking about ASP.NET Core, DevOps, JavaScript, Mobile Development, Architecture and Design Patterns, Angular, Docker, C#, and much more!
 
It all began with TechBash 2016 last September. TechBash is hosted annually at the Kalahari Resort in Pocono Manor, PA. The conference is only 90 minutes from NYC, Northern NJ, and Philadelphia. We bring in experts from around the country  (and some from around the world) and fill an agenda with the content that modern developers need to know. This is our second year, happening October 4-6, and the event is shaping up to be even better.

At the time of this writing, we have announced 32 speakers and 47 sessions. Speakers are being contacted and confirmed daily, and we expect to have around 60 sessions at TechBash 2017.

Our discounted rate of $329 for this 3-day event ends soon! After July 21, tickets will increase to the full 2017 rate. Don’t forget to book your room at the Kalahari at our special low rate. After adding 3 hotel nights, you are still under $1,000 for an amazing conference at an awesome venue. Go talk to your boss and get your tickets ASAP!

TechBash is run by the TechBash Foundation, a 501(c)3 Not for Profit organization. It is entirely run by volunteers including myself. We make no money from this event.

Thanks for reading!

Top 20 Recommended Microsoft Build 2017 Sessions for C# Developers

Posted on | by Alvin A. | 1 Comment on Top 20 Recommended Microsoft Build 2017 Sessions for C# Developers

Because I was unable to attend MS Build 2017, last week I went to look for a few sessions to watch. I visited the Build 2017 landing page on Channel 9 and there were 458 sessions available for viewing. Where do you start?

If your interests are similar to mine (C#, WPF, UWP, Xamarin, .NET Core, TypeScript, Aurelia), here is a Top 20 list to get you started.

Enjoy the sessions! You’ll notice that in order to keep the list down to 20, I did not include any of the excellent Channel 9 interview sessions or pre-recorded sessions. Be sure to go check out some of these as well.

TechBash 2017 – Call for Speakers is Open #cfp

Posted on | by Alvin A.

Hello!

If you’re a speaker and your calendar is open the week of Oct. 4-6, go check out www.techbash.com right now. The TechBash 2017 Call for Speakers is open through April 23rd. TechBash is looking for session submissions relevant to any Developer, Architect or IT Pro.

Want to see what sessions have been submitted so far? Check out the list at www.techbash.com/submissions! In 2016, we had speakers come from all of the world to speak. So far in 2017, there have been submissions from speakers as far away as California. Maybe you can be the first international speaker to be considered for 2017.

The venue is amazing. The Kalahari Resort will soon be opening their major water park expansion, making it the largest indoor water park in the United States. Everyone who books a room at the Kalahari gets free access to the water park on those days. Make sure you mention TechBash 2017 when you book your room because the room prices are incredible too (nightly rates starting at $139 Mon/Tue; $159 Wed/Thu; $169 Fri; $249 Sat).

If you’re not a speaker but are thinking about attending TechBash 2017 this fall, the discounted ticket rate of $329 is available only through June. Last year, TechBash had great speakers, cool swag (a TechBash towel courtesy of Modis), really good food (breakfast & lunch daily plus a Welcome Reception on Day 1), and some free tours of the Kalahari facility. Go talk to your boss today and bring your co-workers! You don’t want to miss TechBash 2017.
