.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!

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.
A business this diverse needs diverse software to help drive the vast number of business processes involved. Software developers at Kiewit experience all aspects of this diversity in their day-to-day work. They are building tools to help support important processes like project estimation, resource assignment, design tool supplements, and many more.
Kiewit is a large Microsoft Azure customer and hosts most of the custom developed applications in the cloud. The development technologies used are diverse, but primarily focus on .NET 8, React/TypeScript, and Python.
Being a 140 year old company has taught Kiewit that people are its most important asset and they have a culture to support this. In addition, Kiewit offers a number of great benefits:
- Every employee is given a $4,000 / year training budget to support their career advancement.
- The company has a 6% 401K match + a 2%-4% profit sharing contribution.
