What we’re about
✅ We are hosting in-person events again! Stay tuned both at the Boston Azure event site (where you are now) and at the North Boston Azure event site. We plan to continue Virtual Boston Azure events in parallel to in-person events.
Boston Azure is a community-run group with the goal of learning about cloud computing with the Microsoft Azure cloud computing platform. We have been meeting since October 2009, making us the oldest such Azure-focused community group in the world. The group was founded by Bill Wilder (@codingoutloud).
If you have any questions or feedback you can reach out to @bostonazure on twitter - or to any of us directly via twitter (handles below) via Meetup messaging.
Sincerely,
- Veronika - @veronika_dev1
- Jason - @haleyjason
- Bill - @codingoutloud
The group is run by volunteers. So far for all the events we've hosted over the years, we've managed to provide them for free to attendees. This is in large part to Microsoft offering free space at NERD where we've held the vast majority of our events, to MIT for help with some of our bootcamp events, but also to the occasional meeting/event sponsor.
We have introduced a Code of Conduct. Your feedback is welcome.
We are currently hosting meeting signups on Meetup.com/bostonazure, but you can also find our top-level site through the simpler URL bostonazure.org.
You can also find us on Twitter as @bostonazure.
And feel free to join our Slack community at bit.ly/baslack.
Boston Azure usually meets in the Boston/Cambridge area. You may also be interested in the North Boston Azure group, run by Jason Haley (@haleyjason), which meets in Burlington, MA.

╚════════════════════════════ ◢
Probably you've seen the many ways that Gen AI technology is being put to use - but it also seems complicated and there seem to be so many new technologies to assimilate. Is that the only way to go? What about incorporating Gen AI into existing applications?Imagine you have an existing application built using significant C# and Azure SQL Database. We will meet you where you are and talk about how technologies like Semantic Kernel and Azure SQL Database can help you integrate AI features into your application.

# Boston Code Camp 37 is Saturday, November 23, 2024!
The Code Camp tradition started in Boston and continues! You should plan to attend. It is too late to submit a talk, but you can see the lineup here: https://www.bostoncodecamp.com/CC37/Schedule/SessionGrid
This code camp is not a Boston Azure event, so you are NOT able to register here or do anything interesting here on the Boston Azure meetup site. We just think it is worth helping promote it.
Attendee Sign-up closes on Wednesday, November 20 at 6 PM so please go here to sign up:

Hope to see you there!
