.NET Conf Watch Party
Fellow .NET Users,
For the last few years, the Omaha .NET User's Group has hosted a .NET Conf watch party. This has become a fun annual event for us and we're planning to do it again. This years event will take place on Tuesday, November 12th, starting at 10:00 AM. We'll gather at our sponsor's location in La Vista, to watch the conference live together. Our sponsor, Kiewit, will be serving a continental breakfast around 9:30 and lunch around 11:45. I'm really excited to learn about the new things we can use in .NET 9. I look forward to seeing you there! If you plan to attend, it is very important that I have an accurate attendance. Please RSVP if you plan to attend. If your plans change, please ensure that your response reflects that.
Host:Kiewit Business Center (LV2)
7700 Eastport Pkwy, La Vista, NE 68128
You can park anywhere near the building and enter at the east entrance. You will be greeted by the front desk security. Let them know you are attending a .NET User's Group event and they will notify someone to escort you to the room. If there is any confusion, ask security to notify Matt Ruwe that a guest has arrived.

The biggest .NET virtual event
.NET Conf has been a virtual event since the beginning, and this year we’re celebrating our 14th online conference. We always strive to create a world class, engaging, virtual experience for all our attendees no matter where they are. Over the years we've expanded our content and our reach. We now draw over 100 thousand live viewers and sponsor hundreds of local events around the world.
What to expect at the conference
Over the course of the three days we provide a wide selection of live sessions that feature speakers from the community and .NET team members. We have sessions streaming 24/7 between day two and three of the conference so everyone can get involved no matter what their time zone. You can ask questions live on Twitter, join the fun on Twitch, attend the virtual attendee parties where you can play trivia games and win prizes. Best of all, you can take what you learn here and be a better .NET developer.

These aren’t the only things Kiewit is doing but is a good representation of the diversity of Kiewit’s business.
