.NET community is pretty massive, not in the least due to the support of the software world’s goliath, Microsoft. If you want to connect with .NET developers to learn, hire, get hired, or any other reason, a big .NET conference is the place to be.
Luckily, there are quite a lot of great .NET events organized by Microsoft as well as independent enthusiasts. Here’s a list of 6 .NET conferences you can’t miss this year:
