Omaha .NET User Group February Meeting

---

Fellow .NET Users,

It's hard to believe, but it's already time for our next .NET User's Group meeting! Before we get to the details for that, I have a few community announcements. First, Carl Franklin's Blazor Road Show is coming to Omaha on March 11th. If you haven't already, please make sure to RSVP and check out the details here. Please note that the venue has changed since I first published the details.

Second, the second annual Connectaha conference is happening on March 27th. I attended this conference last year and am happy to be a participant again this year. I hope to see many of you there! For more details, please checkout https://connectaha.com/.

Finally, the next .NET User's Group meeting will take place on Thursday, February 27th, starting at 6:00 PM. Food and drink will be served by our sponsor starting 15-20 minutes before the meeting. Please take special note of the slight location change. Farm Credit has updated its facility and we're going to be meeting in their new Visitor Center. Normally, you would go to the north building, however, for this meeting you'll want to enter on the west side of the south building.

After the meeting, please join us for more drinks and appetizers at Buffalo Wings and Rings sponsored by our friends at Harbinger Partners.

Location:
Farm Credit Services of America
5015 S 118th Street
