Long-running (30+ years) developer training conference for the Microsoft stack (.NET, C#, Azure, AI), run by 1105 Media (Visual Studio Magazine / Converge360) as a roadshow of 5-day events in several US cities per year, each with a 'Data & Analytics' / 'AI, Data, and Machine Learning' track including SQL Server and Microsoft Fabric sessions. Recorded with id_suffix = city (Microsoft HQ editions in Redmond use 'redmond'). The November Orlando event is Live! 360 (from 2024 'Live! 360 Tech Con'), which co-locates Visual Studio Live! with Data Platform Live! (formerly SQL Server Live!), TechMentor, Artificial Intelligence Live!, Cloud & Containers Live! and (from 2023) Cybersecurity & Ransomware Live!; it is recorded in this series with id_suffix 'orlando'. Live! 360 programmes exceed 150 sessions, so for those editions only keynotes and data-related sessions are recorded (2021 had 133 sessions and is recorded in full). 2020-2022 COVID postponements are recorded as cancelled editions. Not recorded: 2-day virtual training seminars and 6-week online courses (not conferences); a 'London APR XX-XX, 2026' placeholder seen in the 2026 site navigation (no event page); a 'San Diego 2021' link in the 2021 navigation whose page no longer exists and could not be checked (Wayback Machine unreachable during research). Social accounts: VSLive! accounts as primary; Live! 360 accounts and site in other_social (LinkedIn is the shared Live! 360 Events company page). vslive.com blocks automated fetches; event pages were read via the same CMS at live360events.com/ECG/vslive/....
