This year DevCon 2014 offered participants the following format:
A special feature of DevCon 2014 was its international status: the English version of the site was launched, a special track of reports in English was organized, experts from Microsoft’s development teams and from the community were invited, the English-language conference program was organized at many venues for an international audience, and recordings after a while will be available on Channel9.com .

The conference participants were greeted by a large tent installed on the main square of the resort.
Our partners put their decision near the tent, a car that can be controlled through the cloud.
Registration of participants
In the tent one could get acquainted with a variety of technologies: from Oculus Rift, 3D printer, tablets and phones on Windows / WP and Xbox One to Visual Studio, Microsoft Azure and Internet Explorer.
One of the zones of the guest house was a photo-zone in which one could take a picture with friends against the background of the familiar room of one of the series or with the famous voice of this series - Denis “Courage-Bombay” Kolesnikov.
Denis was a popular person in general, where he was caught and photographed.
In the center of the tent - the guest house Microsoft - there was a fountain, next to it there were comfortable seating areas, the tent was popular with visitors and was full in the intervals between reports.
Opening the conference is a very important part of the program. The conference was opened by Mikhail Chernomordikov.
Giorgio Sardo, Senior Director in the Developer & Platform Evangelism group, was the lead speaker at the opening.
This time, the plenary report included 10 live demonstrations of a wide variety of technologies, products and services, including Oculus Rift, Xbox One, Azure, Visual Studio, simultaneous development for all platforms with Xamarin, mobile web, and so on ...
The final part of the plenary report was led by Alexander Lozhechkin - Director of Developers & Platform Evangelism, Microsoft Central & Eastern Europe and a permanent member of DevCon.
In conclusion, Denis “Courage-Bombay” Kolesnikov told about the format of the conference from the stage.
The team of the plenary report made a photo for memory:
Conference reports, including those from the English from the international track, were held in five parallel streams. We are very pleased that many colleagues, experts and representatives of the developer community from different countries have responded to our call to participate in the conference with reports.
Not all the speakers got here in the photo feeds. Look for their photos at http://bit.ly/msdevcon2014 .
During the breaks between the presentations, during the big break for lunch, participants could relax, sit on the Internet or walk around the beautiful place of the conference, talk with colleagues and meet other participants.
Anyone could catch the speakers, including foreign speakers, and ask them about any questions.
In the main building of the conference, along with the partners' exhibition, there was a wall of reviews, where everyone could leave their message.
Partners brought a samovar and handed out gingerbread
Those interested could buy development books:
In the evening, after the completion of the main program of the first day of the conference, participants traditionally had a chance to relax in nature, listen to the group’s performance, take part in various games, such as the traditional game “who will throw the keyboard further”.
This year, the famous band Uma2rmaH, which performed their hits, annealed at the concert.
When it got dark the participants were offered a place in front of a bonfire, where some people played the guitar.
Others at this time could take part in the “Night of coding” hackathons or “F # Coding Dojo”.
The second day of the conference began with a warm-up, where anyone could do the exercises.
On the second day it was a bit rainy. By the way, I did not tell that the conference participants were given memorable backpacks, which many liked very much :-).
The second day of the conference ended with a closing ceremony, during which we congratulated one of the speakers on his birthday and held contests.
Led closing not knowing fatigue Denis “Courage-Bombay” Kolesnikov.
