.NET Conf is a free, three-day, virtual developer event co-organized by the .NET community and Microsoft. This year .NET 5.0 will launch at .NET Conf 2020. Come celebrate and learn about the new release.
.NET Conf has been a virtual event since the beginning, and this year we are celebrating our 10th online conference. With everything that has happened this year, we know online conferences have become more important than ever. We have always strived to create a world class, engaging, virtual experience for all our attendees no matter where they are.
Over the course of these three days, there is a variety of live sessions that feature speakers from the community and .NET teams. We have sessions streaming all day and night between day two and day three of the conference, so everyone can get involved regardless of your time zone. Ask questions live on Twitter, join the fun on Twitch, attend the virtual attendee party, play trivia games, and win prizes. Best of all, you can take what you learn here and become a better .NET developer.
Join the conversation and ask questions using the hashtag: #dotNETConf on Twitter. You can also subscribe to notifications about .NET Conf and future events.
