Only 50 Spots Remain for the Event Featuring Visual Studio, SQL Server and SharePoint Technologies, World-Class IT Content, and Modern Application Techniques

IRVINE, Calif. – Nov. 5, 2015 – The 1105 Media Enterprise Computing Group—producer of the Live! 360, Visual Studio Live! and TechMentor conferences and the publishers of MSDN Magazine and Redmond—has announced that its last event of 2015, the fourth annual Live! 360 conference has set a new registration record and is nearing sold-out capacity.

"Registration for this year's conference is up 40 percent over last year's Live! 360 conference," said Henry Allain, chief operating officer, 1105 Media Inc. "We are very excited to welcome attendees and partners to what will be one of the best industry education and networking events of the year."

Taking place Nov. 16 – Nov. 20 at Loews Royal Pacific Resort in Universal Orlando, Fla., Live! 360 is comprised of five co-located events: Visual Studio Live!, SharePoint Live!, SQL Server Live!, Modern Apps Live! and TechMentor. Developers and IT pros can register online for just one of the co-located conferences and get unlimited access to any of the five Live! 360 events, creating a one-of-a-kind event experience for each attendee.

"With only 50 attendee spots remaining, this year's event is on track to not only be the best-performing, but also the best in terms of attendee experience," says Brent Sutton, senior event director of the 1105 Enterprise Computing Group. "Live! 360 is unique for several reasons. One is the attendee's ability to build a personalized, custom agenda from more than 180 educational sessions. The technical content and training is specifically crafted to suit almost every IT and developer title. Another is the opportunity to connect with thousands of fellow developers and IT pros from around the world—last year more than 35 countries were represented. Finally, this event provides the perfect locale for bringing the family along to combine a week's worth of learning and fun."

In addition to the technical content and insightful keynotes, Live! 360 will offer attendees the opportunity to meet one-on-one with vendors and sponsors in the exhibit hall.

Rajeev Kapur 2015 FOLIO Honoree

Rajeev Kapur Top 100 Honoree - Up-and-Coming Trailblazers 2015 - Folio Magazine

Rajeev Kapur has been making big moves at 1105 Media since taking over in November 2014. In a surprise deal, he sold off the company’s education tech events to bolster the balance sheet. But within a few months, 1105 launched another event for 2016 and consolidated its marketing services under a new division, the 05 Group. Kapur replaced outgoing CEO Neal Vitale and was hired partly because he was an industry outsider. He was previously CEO of Sonic Emotion, a developer of 3D sound technology.
