At the start of 2026, Microsoft is doubling down on experiential developer education with the launch of VS Live!, a series of immersive events that go beyond standard conference talks. Promising practical, scenario-based learning and direct expert engagements, the initiative aims to equip developers with skills for the evolving Visual Studio and modern development tooling.

Here’s what you need to know:

Must-watch VS Live playlists
Over the holidays, the Visual Studio team curated 19 standout VS Live sessions, covering everything from Visual Studio 2026 and C# Source Generators to next-level debugging with GitHub Copilot and advanced .NET techniques.
What makes VS Live different
VS Live is built for hands-on learning. You code as you learn, solve real-world problems, and engage directly with experts shaping Visual Studio, .NET, and Azure.
Choose your immersion in 2026
Join one of two immersive VS Live events this year: Las Vegas from March 16–20, 2026, or VS Live at Microsoft HQ from July 27–31, 2026.
