3-2-1-Let's go! Microsoft Developer Tour in Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan

In anticipation of the launch of Windows 10, the release of Visual Studio 2015 and the update of our cloud services Azure and Office 365, we decided that it was very important for us to personally communicate with the developers: to tell something useful ourselves and listen to the developers on the spot. Therefore, we decided not just to hold events in various cities, but to go on a technological expedition to the cities of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan.

We will do events, hackathons, evening gatherings, meet with individual companies, students and startups. For the expedition, we even prepare a specially equipped trailer!





From mid-March to the end of April, our trailer will travel through the largest cities, where we will hold 13 conferences and 4 hackathons:
