Azure Dev Summit 2025 is where community meets innovation. This four-day event in Lisbon unites MVPs, Microsoft engineers, and developers worldwide for deep technical learning, hands-on workshops, and meaningful connections. Focused on .NET 10, Copilot, and Azure AI, it’s the place to learn, share, and shape the future together.

Why this matters
When TechEd Europe ended, something bigger than a conference disappeared: a space where developers could connect deeply with Microsoft engineers, learn hands-on, and share real-world insights. For years, MVPs like Pieter Gheysens, Kevin DeRudder, and I kept hearing the same thing -- Europe needs that experience back.
Azure Dev Summit is our answer, October 13–16, 2025, in Lisbon. We’re reviving the TechEd spirit for a cloud-first, AI-powered era: practical, deep, and community-led, with Microsoft in the room, on stage, and in the hallways.
Why MVPs built this
This summit is more than an event, it’s a community promise. MVPs saw the gap and stepped up to fill it. We partnered with Techorama and NDC, two of Europe’s most respected conference teams, and worked hand-in-hand with Microsoft to make it happen.
Why? Because MVPs believe in sharing knowledge, amplifying voices, and creating spaces where developers can thrive together. This is what community leadership looks like in action.
What makes this event different
Community at the core. MVP-driven, Microsoft-backed, and globally inclusive.
Depth and relevance. Sessions on Azure-native development, .NET 10, Copilot, Azure AI Foundry, identity, security, and DevOps - curated by MVPs and Microsoft product teams.
Hands-on learning. Three days of sessions and keynotes plus a full day of workshops.
We’re not creating another conference. We’re rebuilding what made TechEd special - depth, quality, and community - updated for today’s cloud and AI world.
Who should attend
If you work with Azure, AI, or .NET, this is where you’ll hear the announcements, learn the techniques, and meet the people shaping the next year of your work. Developers, architects, engineers, and tech leads - this is your space.
Why Lisbon
Lisbon isn’t just a convenient location - it’s a thriving tech hub with a vibrant developer community and a culture of innovation. The city offers world-class venues, excellent connectivity, and an inspiring backdrop where history meets cutting-edge technology.
