Hey .NET Fans! It’s that time of year again: .NET Conf is back November 10-12, 2026.<\/p>\n
We’ll spend three days learning from the people who build and use .NET, catching\nup with the community, and launching .NET 11. The event is free and online, so\nmark your calendar<\/a> and join us from wherever you are.<\/p>\n We’ve been busy building .NET 11, and there’s already plenty to try. The latest\npreviews include work across the runtime, libraries, SDK, ASP.NET Core, C#,\n.NET MAUI, Entity Framework Core, and more. We’re especially excited about\nC# 15 union types and the move to CoreCLR for .NET MAUI apps on Android, iOS,\nand Mac Catalyst. ASP.NET Core and Blazor also have a lot in store, including\nricher static SSR and form validation, smaller Blazor WebAssembly apps, a new\ndevelopment server, and smoother Aspire integration. Minimal APIs gain async\nvalidation and C# union type support, and OpenAPI 3.2 is now the default.\nAlongside the .NET 11 work, we’ve also released v2.0 of the official MCP C# SDK,\nwith a stateless-by-default protocol designed to make building and scaling AI\ntools with ASP.NET Core more straightforward.<\/p>\n Catch up on what we’ve shared so far:<\/p>\n You can also hear directly from the teams in recent\n.NET Community Standups<\/a>.\nThere’s more on the way between now and November. We think you’re going to love\nwhat the teams have been working on, and we can’t wait to show you the rest at\n.NET Conf.<\/p>\n We’re hard at work putting the product team schedule together. When the\nconference site and session list go live, we’ll publish those sessions on our\nnew https:\/\/dot.net\/conf<\/a> mini-site and on the community-run https:\/\/dotnetconf.net<\/a> site.<\/p>\n We know you’re eager to submit your community sessions, and we hope to open the\ncall for speakers within the next week. When it opens, we’ll share the news here\non the .NET Blog, on both conference sites, and through our social channels.\nWe’ll add selected community sessions to the schedule later.<\/p>\n For now, save November 10-12 and start thinking about what you might want to\nshare. We’re excited to get the .NET community together again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" .NET Conf returns November 10-12, 2026, with three days of sessions, community, and the launch of .NET 11.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":470,"featured_media":60657,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[685],"tags":[7893,7207,51,7746,7213,8056],"class_list":["post-60656","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dotnet","tag-dotnet-11","tag-net-conf","tag-community","tag-conference","tag-speakers","tag-virtual-event"],"acf":[],"blog_post_summary":" .NET Conf returns November 10-12, 2026, with three days of sessions, community, and the launch of .NET 11.<\/p>\n","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/dotnet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60656","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/dotnet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/dotnet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/dotnet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/470"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/dotnet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=60656"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/dotnet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60656\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":60670,"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/dotnet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60656\/revisions\/60670"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/dotnet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/60657"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/dotnet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=60656"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/dotnet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=60656"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/dotnet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=60656"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Get ready for the release of .NET 11<\/h2>\n
