A

Hey, everyone. welcome back to another episode of on.net..

A

I am not richard lander., I'm [inaudible] , and today we're here with beth massi.

A

Hey, gomez, is great to have you interviewing me.

A

We want to have the women who actually produce.net conf, talking about.net conf.

A

Exactly. I mean we are.

B

Behind the scenes of this entire show, right?.

A

Yeah., so we want to get on.net here.

B

And give you guys a little sneak peek of what we're planning.

B

So, let's start at the beginning,.

A

What year are we on right now, for.net conf? How many years have we done this.

B

This will be my fourth one., but it started in the community..

B

It started at asp.net conf..

B

I think it started even like outside of microsoft, right?

B

yeah., so I think it's, I don't know, like 15 years, maybe.

B

wow.. I really don't know because I wasn't around that long., but it was so successful.

A

Yeah. that you guys are just doubling down on it., so actually marketing,, mike,.

B

Once he came into microsoft, microsoft started funding it basically to make it bigger., so they used to be. It's just be a communities stand-ups. If you guys watch those,.

B

Like actually those look really nice these days, but they use to look like call-in, dial-in, and everybody is on the phone video conference..

B

It used to be like that format. wow., I think marketing ticket over before I joined marketing.

A

So david salgado,.

B

My predecessor ran the show for a couple of years., so we ended up using the studio at that point.

B

And bringing it in and like much higher production, value.

A

B

It just looks better.

A

It's executed much better., it's a little bit.

B

You have a more love and care.

A

We also have a lot more viewers as well now., so it really got a huge following,.

B

And so this will be my fourth one,.net conf 2019.

B

It's going to be september, 23rd, we're launching.net core 3.0. At the event, this year.

B

So that's new., that's actually great. usually,. We always do it in september now, I mean we were doing it in june for a while, and we started doing it in september,.

B

I think the last two years were in september.

A

So is this the first time it's an event coinciding with a launch. with a launch, exactly. yeah.

B

It's going to be huge. yeah., so we announced at build,. We announced the roadmap for.net core,.

B

Like releases,, and so we will release now, every year.

B

So starting next year,, we'll release.net 5 in november., so we'll start,, we're doing.net core 3.0 here,.

B

On september, 23rd, 3.1 will be at ignite in november and from then on will release every year in november. perfect., so we're starting to work out our schedule..

B

So you might have a much more predictable schedule,, which means I can have a much more predictable, launch.

B

nice.. So what's going on for 2019?, what's different?.

A

So yes., so by the way it says, 34, days,.

B

18 hours, we're recording the show,. So by the time you watch it'll be even sooner..

B

So please save the date on that.

B

so september. 23Rd, we've got subscribe.

B

To notifications, by the way, right here and we'll actually know what everything is happening.

A

We actually have a lot of sponsors, already.

B

We're getting more every day., so we have a lot of sponsors this year, much more than we had last year..

B

We've got a couple of new things this year, so I'm going go high-level, agenda., here's, the thing,! We are still selecting content right, now,.

B

And the reason is, is because this year we're going to do 30-minute sessions., so the first two days we broadcast right here with the product teams and microsoft. Folks on in studio,.

B

We're going have 30-minute session zones will be bouncing back a little bit faster, and then the last 24 hours of the conference is like.

B

Community members that submit in their local time zones all around the world., so we go into back studio back there and pull an all nighter.

B

Yeah. but because we had,, if doing 30-minute slots instead of hours lots, this year, we,re like double the contents. yeah., so we have a lot of great session submissions..

B

I mean this is all data-driven decision-making.

A

We have seen where you go: drop, off., right.

B

So we've noticed that 20 minutes,.

A

25 minutes is like perfect amount of time to sell the message and the story,.

A

And so it's great that you guys are adjusting for that.

A

well, yeah,. I mean there's so much stuff to talk about.

B

There's so many stuff. yeah., I mean like, for instance,, like just in the.net core release, you've got new c# 8, we're doing grpc, blazor.

B

we've got wpf on win forms support,.

B

We got new xamarin stuff, ml.net,, asp.net,, ef core.

B

I mean, we also have vs and vs for mac updates are going to coincide at the same time.

A

Yeah. we have a lot of azure to talk about with this.

B

So I think what we're going to do, so we'll announce the agenda. Probably next week.

B

We're still working on some of these things out., I honestly still trying to get some product team people to come,.

B

Hey, we want to use this.

A

It's not a hard sell., it's not a hard sell, wednesday,. You can't say no. What we're doing.

B

But some other things that are new this year is we're going to have two code parties.. So we have these virtual attendee parties,, like they run on twitch and mixer after the day, here,.

B

That are sponsors, you answer trivia questions and they give out prizes online,.

B

And we're going to get two of those; one is going to be after the first day here at 5:00 pm, local time,, pacific time..

B

We're also going to throw one at 4:00, am pacific time,.

A

So that it will capture.

B

Some other times zone, so they can join in the party.

B

What's going to be interesting, is we're doing this experiment with our sponsors, this year.

B

we're going to do a technical treasure hunt., so each of our sponsors' going to give a url and a clue,.

B

A technical challenge: basically, you got to figure out the answer., so if you want to play,, you'll just need to get an account either on mixer or twitch, and you'll whisper. Your answers to those bots there.

A

And they'll record your answers.

B

Until you, whether or not you got it right. wow., that will get you an entry into like win. A grand prize.

B

We're still figuring out what that grand prize will be., but it will be big,. It will be monetarily worth a lot of money and yeah,.

B

Our sponsors are fulfilling the prizes and all that stuff..

B

So it should be fun. yeah.. It could either work out really well and be completely fun or total mess.

A

Super-Interactive,, on top of that you're going to have q&a as usual.

A

as usual. conversation chats and have moderators managing all that.

A

yeah.. We were just talking about.

B

Q&Amp;A format changing a little bit, this year.

B

we're going to take questions on twitter. This year, use tagboard in here, and we always ask hanselman if he.

B

Wants to do the q&a hosting.

B

Yeah. hold up the questions up for people.. We will have hanselman,, we'll have seth there. sure., we'll get somebody like good.

A

So this event is for the audience,, the viewers., you guys have questions definitely be tune in and answer, and then win some surprises along the way. Just for fun.

B

Right, I mean just follow the hashtag, hashtag d-o-t-n-e-t-c-o-n-f,.net conf.

B

You'll be all up to date with what's going on., so you should see a lot more..

B

I think social posts and stuff like that..

B

Now that we're coming into t minus months, now., yeah. so you'll start seeing some visual studio, and.net posts.

A

The favorite question, will everything be on-demand? of course,. Everything will be on-demand.

B

Yeah. visual studio channel,, I think we were talking about that, right?.

A

Visual studio, youtube, channel, and then on channel 9 itself has its own event. Page.

A

exactly. everything will be on-demand, the stuff happening on the twitch day, 3 on the mixer.

A

Exactly., so don't worry., if you miss it,, don't worry, we got you but try to be there. Live.

B

Try to be there because you could win some prizes.. You can't win prizes after the conference is over.

A

A

What are they call it?.

B

Yeah. so right., so we got the local events already..

B

well,. You also have a different format,.

B

A little bit different format for the keynote., we're not going to prerecord the keynote, anything like that., it's still going to be live., but we typically do scott hunter, miguel de caza, and mads [inaudible] ;, those three guys,, the three main .net dudes,.

B

Cover all of the topics., this year, we try a little bit different, we're going to cover more of a parade,. That's going to be a lot of the pms that are.

B

Responsible for each of those features are going to come through and show off., so we're going to have a rolling set of people just so you know.
