The Return of the Valley .NET User Groups
Posted by bsstahl on 2025-11-04 and Filed Under: event
After a long pause, I’m excited to share some great news: the Valley of the Sun .NET user groups are officially restarting in 2026! As one of the organizers — and one of the speakers for our first event — I couldn’t be more thrilled to help bring our community back together.
We’ll be hosting quarterly meetups, alternating between:
- NWVDNUG (Northwest Valley .NET User Group)
- SEVDNUG (Southeast Valley .NET User Group)
Each event will be in-person at one location, with a livestream option for the other group — so no matter where you are, you’ll have a way to participate.
🚀 First Event: Tuesday, January 20, 2026 at ASU West Valley
To kick things off, Rob Richardson and I will be presenting:
“.NET Aspire Accelerator: Fast-Track to Cloud-Native Development”
This talk is a shortened version of the workshop Rob and I delivered in October 2025 in Porto, Portugal — tailored for our local community.
We’ll be live at the Arizona State University (ASU) West Valley campus, and the session will be streamed by the .NET Foundation’s NET Virtual User Group, making it accessible to developers across the Valley and around the world.
🔄 What’s Next?
The follow-up event will be in the SE Valley around April, continuing our quarterly rotation and hybrid format. We’re committed to making these meetups inclusive, energizing, and valuable for developers across the valley.
Meetup listings for January will be posted soon — on both the NWVDNUG and SEVDNUG pages — so keep an eye out and RSVP when they go live.
Thanks for being part of this community. I can’t wait to see familiar faces and meet new ones as we reboot and reconnect in 2026.
