About us
The Atlanta .NET User Group is an independent user group formed by developers for developers. The group is the result of combining the Atlanta ASP.NET and Atlanta VB User Groups.
If you would like to speak, you can submit via Sessionize using the following link: https://sessionize.com/atlanta-dotnet/
We are a founding member of INETA.
This User Group was formed for several reasons:
- To facilitate the networking of .NET developers in Atlanta
To be a means for .NET developers to promote themselves within the Atlanta developer community
To promote .NET technology in the Atlanta area
To provide an opportunity to share and learn from each others experiences using .NET technology
If you are an Internet or a .NET developer your participation is both welcome and solicited. Come and be a part of this group and watch it grow along with .NET in the Atlanta area! We meet on the last Monday of each month except May and December.
Because we want your participation, if you are interested in giving a tutorial or presentation, or just want to make contact, please email one of the organizers with your topic or idea.
We've also now started a YouTube channel to host recorded meeting presentations and (possibly) other content of interest to our members. Check it out and be sure to Subscribe and turn on notifications so you'll know about new content when it's posted: https://bit.ly/ATL-DotNet-YouTube

Build //localhost Atlanta
Microsoft Atlantic Yards, 200 17th Street NW, Atlanta, GA, USRegistration Link <-- USE THIS REGISTRATION LINK
Join us for the Atlanta edition of Microsoft Build //localhost, a special community-led, hands-on event bringing Microsoft Build content into the local developer community.
We will not be meeting at our regular time this month. Instead, this special event will replace our normal monthly meetup and will include an expanded agenda with hands-on labs, demos, lunch, and time to connect with other developers.
9:00 AM – 10:15 AM
Developer Tools & Frameworks: From zero to deployed on Azure with AI agents
What happens when you let AI agents do the building? In this hands-on lab, you will go from an empty terminal to a deployed app on Azure using GitHub Copilot CLI and coding agents to help with scaffolding, coding, debugging, and deployment. You will also use Azure skills to provision resources and wire up services through natural language, without needing to work through the Azure portal.10:15 AM – 11:00 AM
Cloud Platform & Data: From rows to reasoning: Designing databases for AI apps and agents
AI applications and agents require data platforms designed for reasoning, not just transactions. This demo-rich session looks at the latest innovations in SQL Database and Cosmos DB, then builds an app on Azure HorizonDB, Azure’s cloud-native PostgreSQL service, to show how building AI apps directly in the database can simplify design and enable reasoning over operational data.11:00 AM – 11:45 AM
Working with Models: Build smarter AI Systems in Foundry as models and costs evolve
Discover how to quickly choose, integrate, and validate AI models inside Microsoft Foundry. Learn techniques for navigating thousands of model options, benchmarking performance, and streamlining your workflow with deep IDE support. Build faster, ship smarter, and stay on top of the evolving AI landscape.11:45 AM – 12:45 PM
Lunch12:45 PM – 1:30 PM
Agents & Apps: Build context-aware agents at scale with Microsoft IQ
High-performance agents are built on intelligence that brings together context, enterprise data, orchestration, and governance. This session covers how Foundry IQ, Fabric IQ, and Work IQ provide the enterprise intelligence layer for AI agents, including how agents can search organizational knowledge, reason over business data, and operate with awareness of people and work signals.1:30 PM – 2:15 PM
Responsible AI: Observability for AI agents on any framework
Nondeterministic, multi-agent systems break traditional monitoring. As agents move into production, developers need observability built into the workflow, not bolted on after failures. This session explores tracing, evaluation, inner-loop and outer-loop observability, context-specific evals, and always-on signals that connect agent behavior to business outcomes.Microsoft Build //localhost is a global series of community-led, hands-on, in-person learning events designed to extend Microsoft Build content into local technical communities.
Hosted between June 4–26, 2026, each event includes demos, hands-on labs, and opportunities to connect with fellow developers.
