.NET Conf is a free, three-day, virtual developer event co-organized by the .NET community and Microsoft. This year .NET 5.0 will launch at .NET Conf 2020. Come celebrate and learn about the new release.

.NET Conf has been a virtual event since the beginning, and this year we are celebrating our 10th online conference. With everything that has happened this year, we know online conferences have become more important than ever. We have always strived to create a world class, engaging, virtual experience for all our attendees no matter where they are.

Over the course of these three days, there is a variety of live sessions that feature speakers from the community and .NET teams. We have sessions streaming all day and night between day two and day three of the conference, so everyone can get involved regardless of your time zone. Ask questions live on Twitter, join the fun on Twitch, attend the virtual attendee party, play trivia games, and win prizes. Best of all, you can take what you learn here and become a better .NET developer.

Join the conversation and ask questions using the hashtag: #dotNETConf on Twitter. You can also subscribe to notifications about .NET Conf and future events.

    Unfortunately nothing new about UWP.
    When will UWP get .NET 5?

  • S T

    Hello Microsoft.

    Looking forward to .NET 5.0 but we also need to know how to block the installation on those application servers where its not supported.

    Is the registry key to block it, “BlockNetFrameWork50” and set the value to “1” ?

    I hope that Visual Studio 16.8 will be ready as well.
    I like to start converting a number of my projects right away.

    • PoisnFang

      I honestly find this a little annoying. I would have already starting converting projects to .NET 5 in the RC version if I didn’t have to install a Visual studio preview version to do it…

      • Maximilien Noal

        You can still use the latest SDK + VSCode + the C# extension to do it.
        You only need to update the SDK first and keep the C# extension updated.
        It’s way faster than installing VS Preview.

        That is great.
        Thank you.
