Deep dive into the ARM Structure with PowerShell
This session is designed for specialists with some knowledge of both PowerShell and Azure. I will show you the benefits of browsing the ARM Structure for Services on Azure with PowerShell. This will benefit you for understanding the ARM structure, which is the background for the usage of Bicep, Terraform, Ansible and so on. With PowerShell, you have the possibility to really understand what is going on under the hood when you are using Bicep (or other languages).
This is going to be a demo of browsing and understanding the mechanisms and will require a level 400 as this will be relatively fast paced, but also in depth in many levels. I will not only show concepts, but also show code that can be used in practice instead of Bicep.

This session will cover not just how to deploy but also give some tips on how to secure your connection to your Azure VM and giving you insights on pricing.
From stone age to data-driven tech for ears: a time travel
In this talk, I will take you on a time travel over thousands of years of hearing and whilst on it, I'll show you techniques that not only will make your talk more accessible to people that are hard of hearing or deaf, but how it benefits to everyone. I will demo, and the session will not always be too serious. Join me in a journey from the past to the present while learning to give better talks for everyone.
