Sponsoring TechBash

TechBash returns to the Kalahari November 4-7, 2025! Want to sponsor and be a part of the learning, networking, food and fun?

Our approach is simple: Allow you to make a more direct connection between your sponsorship dollars and our costs and allow you to only pay for the things that make sense for you. How do we do that? Flexibility. Yes, we can make this simple and offer basic sponsorship packages to our vendors. But we also offer you the chance to build your own package. We know that each vendor has unique needs and a different message to get out. So, we do not force you into a package that doesn’t fit your plan. If you have an idea, just let us know. We are very flexible and encourage creativity! Download our prospectus and reach out today!

Our Venue

The Kalahari Resort and Convention Center in Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains is brand new and state of the art. The conference area is large, new and hi-tech. The food is outstanding. TechBash is held in the convention center, and, since the attached resort has one of the largest indoor water parks in the United States, most of our attendees stay onsite for the duration of the conference. With discounted room rates, a killer opening night reception, an open gaming space and a full day of free STEM sessions for kids our attendees are actively involved in the conference venue long past the final breakout session of the day.

Call for speakers is open thru March 31st

Our CFP opened this month. If you or anyone from your company is interested in joining us as a speaker, they can submit sessions, workshops, and keynotes on Sessionize now!

 - Design and Develop a Serverless Event-Driven Microservice-Based Solution (Chad Green)

During this full-day workshop, you will start by designing a solution using serverless and event-driven cloud services using microservice patterns. Then you will build that solution using .NET, Azure services, and other best-practice tools. Finally, you will deploy that solution to the cloud so your customers can reap the rewards of a well-architected, reliable, and scalable solution that meets their needs today and provides for growth in the future.

Establishing Good TDD Habits

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn fundamental techniques to improving your code through TDD and Pair Programming. You’ll sharpen your skills working with your peers on programming exercises designed to instill good techniques that you’ll be ready to apply on your current and future code.

-and-

Mastering TDD in Legacy Code

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn to effectively use the principles and practices of increasing the reliability and maintainability of your code through testing and pair programming. You’ll sharpen your skills working with your peers on programming exercises designed to instill good practices that you’ll be ready to apply to non-trivial codebases.

  • Securely pass variables and input into Terraform
  • Securely deploy Terraform to clouds like Azure

In the second session, we will learn about building and deploying applications using Github Actions. We will learn diverse ways to trigger our builds and build different types of applications. We will work up from basics and fully understand how workflows run, how to select and call different actions, and how to handle configuration and secrets. After this session you'll be able to build and deploy your software from GitHub.

   

- Azure MLOps Workshop (Carey Payette) & Troubleshooting and Monitoring Production Apps w/ OpenTelemetry (Yosef Arbiv)

Many organizations are looking to train and deploy custom-trained machine learning models.

The first workshop provides an overview of MLOps in Azure and then proposes a series of challenges for you to solve alone or in a group.
-and-
The second workshop will introduce the fundamentals of OpenTelemetry and how to use it to get traces from your app. We will build an application, instrument it with OpenTelemetry, and analyze it on a UI backend. After this workshop, you will be able to understand how to add auto instrumentation to get distributed traces from your code. How to collect and present them on a backend UI and analyze them to debug your application.

TechBash 2021 Postponed<![CDATA[

Due to the ongoing concerns of safety for our attendees, speakers, sponsors, and families, we've made the difficult decision to postpone TechBash yet again. 

Last year, TechBash 2020 faced a similar fate as we were forced to cancel due to the ongoing threat of the pandemic. As organizers, we've spent a good deal of time talking with participants in TechBash 2021 and with organizers of regional events to better understand their concerns and to collect suggestions for our event. After spending time discussing, we felt that we could not offer an event that would create a safe environment for participants in the conference. Our decision was made easier when we had heard the news that the Steamtown Marathon in Scranton, PA would be cancelled and that beginning on September 7th, all students in public and private schools across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania are required to wear a mask. 

If you have purchased a ticket for the event, your purchase will be refunded. If you have booked a room at the Kalahari, you can either continue to stay at the discounted rate or you can cancel your room. To cancel, you can visit Passkey, the online registration system, or you could call the call center at 877-525-2427.

We do have some good news. We will be back at the Kalahari Resorts and Convention Center in Pocono Manor, PA next year. Additional details for TechBash 2022 will be announced soon. We are excited to see each and every one of you in person in 2022 and hope by then we've contained the virus and eliminated pandemic concerns.

Stay tuned for more information!
