About us

The Kansas City .NET Developers User Group (KCDNUG) is a community for developers working with the Microsoft .NET ecosystem who want to learn, share knowledge, and connect with other professionals building real-world software. Whether your focus is back-end services, desktop applications, web platforms, or mobile apps, KCDNUG is a place to grow your skills alongside like-minded developers.

Our monthly meetings feature speakers from Kansas City and the surrounding region who share practical insights on .NET, software architecture, tooling, and related technologies. Meetings are typically held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6:00 PM and are open to developers of all experience levels.

KCDNUG is organized by Duane Newman and Brent Stewart of Alien Arc Technologies. Alien Arc is a custom software development consultancy with experience across a wide range of industries, delivering solutions from back-end systems to desktop, web, and mobile applications. We’re passionate about helping teams turn ideas into production-ready software and navigate technical challenges along the way.

Our current regular meeting space is generously provided by Quest Analytics, located off Antioch & I-435 in Corporate Woods.
