Philly .NET is looking for speakers for upcoming in-person meetups. Have a technique that makes development easier, a project worth showing off, or lessons from solving a difficult problem? We’d like to hear from you.

Meeting schedule: 6–8 p.m. on the third Wednesday of each month, except December, when we meet on the second Wednesday. Sessions run 60–105 minutes.

Meeting location:

Microsoft
45 Liberty Blvd
Malvern, PA

We welcome practical talks, live demos, deep dives, and hands-on sessions for developers at all experience levels. Topics of interest include:

Web development: ASP.NET Core, Blazor, APIs, authentication, accessibility, and front-end integration.

AI for developers: Building AI features into .NET applications, models and agents, evaluating results, and using coding assistants effectively.

Cloud and distributed systems: Azure, containers, .NET Aspire, messaging, observability, and reliable services.

Application security: Secure coding, identity, secrets management, dependency security, and practical threat modeling.

Data: Entity Framework Core, SQL, caching, Fabric, etc.

Developer tools and practices: Testing, debugging, CI/CD, automation, and improving the everyday development experience.

Desktop and mobile: Windows development, .NET MAUI, cross-platform applications, and application modernization.

Hardware and maker projects: Raspberry Pi, Arduino, IoT, home automation, and connecting software to the physical world with C#.

Lessons from real projects: Architecture decisions, production incidents, migrations, and what you would do differently next time.

Have another topic that would help or inspire .NET developers? Pitch it. Your talk doesn’t need to use .NET exclusively if the ideas are useful to our community.

First-time speakers are welcome. You don’t need to be a professional presenter or have every answer. A focused topic, a useful example, and a willingness to share what you’ve learned are a great starting point.

To propose a session, send us:

A proposed title and short abstract.

A few things attendees will learn.

The intended audience and any prerequisites.

Your preferred session length, from 60 to 105 minutes, and format.

A short bio and the months you’re available to present in person.

Any equipment or setup requirements.

Please keep sessions educational and focused on what attendees can learn and apply. Product demonstrations are welcome when they teach useful techniques beyond a sales pitch.

Interested? Contact the Philly .NET organizers with your proposal. We’d love to put you on the schedule.
