.NET Conf 2026

The official launch of .NET 11

.NET Conf is back for its 16th year: free, online, and open to everyone. From November 10 to 13, the .NET community gets together virtually to celebrate the release of .NET 11 and look at what’s next for the platform. Whether you work in ASP.NET Core, Blazor, .NET MAUI, Aspire or desktop, you’ll leave with new features to try and practical ideas you can use right away.

What to expect at the conference

The first two days belong to the product teams. Day 1 opens with the .NET 11 release and covers what’s new: C# 15, performance gains, ASP.NET Core and Blazor updates, .NET MAUI, Aspire, AI-powered development and the latest in Visual Studio. Day 2 is a hands-on deep dive with teams from across Microsoft on building secure, cloud-native apps with Azure, AI, testing and containers. Days 3 and 4 are Community Days. Open-source maintainers, MVPs, .NET Foundation leaders and developers from around the world share real-world lessons and projects built with .NET.

Sessions stream live each day from 8 AM to 5 PM Pacific (11 AM to 8 PM Eastern). Also watch for the sponsor swag bag giveaway: 17 bags, each with over $5,500 in software licenses, learning resources and gift cards.

This is an online event that doesn't require registration. The event can be watched live Nov 10-13 at:
