What we’re about
We run a dedicated .NET meetup that takes place in Newcastle, Leeds and online.
It’s an informal chance to chat all things .NET with people in your industry and speak to sector specialists, with the option of some laid-back networking with free food and drink.
Come along and you’ll find a group of .NET professionals working in the tech industry.
We’ll be talking about best practices and latest developments in tech, making introductions to people who’ll boost your network, and hosting a
speaker.
What’s the event about?
Each of our Meetups covers .NET tech and we change the topic every time.
Previous events have covered ML.NET, gRPC, C# 11 and .NET 7.
We’ll have a speaker who’ll spend 45 minutes or so telling you what they know about their chosen topic.
Then, if they have time, they’ll mingle with the crowd afterwards so you can pick their brains and connect with others with the same ideas, questions and ambitions as you.
Why should I come along?
Great speakers, food and drink, and the chance to connect with other people in your industry. If you’re currently a .NET dev or aspiring to be, you’ll grow your network with people in your sector who can share information and make introductions that’ll help your career and company grow.
I can’t make it. But I don’t want to miss out.
No worries. We aim to record our events when we can and put them on YouTube
Subscribe and you’ll be the first to find any videos we upload.
We also hold plenty of Meet Up events throughout the year. So if this one clashes with something else in your diary, join the group as a member and you’ll be notified about the next one as soon as we fix a date.
Joining us? Great! Here’s what you’ll need to know:
What time does it start, and how long does it last?
Our events all begin at 5:30pm, and last around an hour and a half. If you want, you can stay longer and chat. But we wrap up the official stuff around 7.30pm. That way, you’re making a post-work stop and getting home in time to put your feet up.
Running late? Our speakers usually start at 6.15pm.
How much does it cost?
Nothing – the event’s free.
Where can I park?
We pick venues near car parks and train stations for a quick win after work. In Leeds, there's usually plenty of spaces outside the venue.
In Newcastle, we suggest anywhere on Grainger Street.
Will there be food?
No one wants to network on an empty stomach, so we’ll provide free pizza. There’ll be free soft drinks and alcohol-free options too. Have any allergies? Let us know and we'll do our best to accommodate you
Do I need to bring anything?
You’ll probably want to bring a notepad, laptop or use your phone’s notes app to write down some tips from our speakers or the name of a new contact.
