A conference by AZUG, the Belgium Microsoft Azure User Group

Saturday November 28, 2015

Microsoft Azure

A full day of Microsoft Azure! We will have some local and international speakers who will share their knowledge and experience. Two tracks, 6 sessions each.
Beer sampling

The event will take place at a brewery! We'll have warm lunch (3 courses) and a guided brewery tour and beer tasting. But no worries! We'll have plenty of coffee and soda, too.
Small scale

We intentionally keep CloudBrew small-scale. This gives the event a more intimate feeling. It also allows us to keep the cost low, providing a day of learning that's really worth everyone's valuable time.
Community

Organized by AZUG, the Belgium Microsoft Azure User Group, CloudBrew originates from the community. Both you and our speakers are part of it. Ideal to network with peers!
