In-Person Presentations

MI .NET is an in-person meetup. At this time, we do not offer virtual or remote speaking opportunities. Speakers must be able to present in person at the event location.

Abstract Guidelines

Provide a concise description of your presentation including details which help the group understand what to expect.

Speaker Expenses

MI .NET is a volunteer-run community event. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide speaker fees, travel reimbursement, lodging or other accommodations, meals outside of what is provided as part of the event, or reimbursement for other speaker-related expenses.

Please keep this in mind when submitting your session proposal. We greatly appreciate the time, expertise, and support our speakers contribute to the community.
