Lightning Talks, 2026 Edition!

LIGHTNING TALKS

We are doing something a little different for our April 2026 meetup: Lightning Talks⚡⚡⚡!

WE ARE LOOKING FOR THREE SPEAKERS - If you have a topic that is .NET or .NET-adjacent (i.e. front-end, testing, architecture, cloud, etc) that you're passionate about but you're not sure you can give a full 45-60 minutepresentation then this is your chance - we're going to select 3 Lightning talks that are 15-20 minutes apiece.
