We host quarterly meetups for .NET developers and Microsoft Azure enthousiasts. Join us in-person in Nieuwegein, The Netherlands. We do not host online sessions and we do not post sessions online after the event.

Whether you’re a seasoned developer or just starting out, our engaging talks led by industry experts and Microsoft MVPs will sharpen your skills and keep you up-to-date with the latest .NET frameworks and Azure developments.
But it’s not all serious learning - we also provide a lively atmosphere for socializing, networking, and making lasting connections with like-minded professionals. Join us at DotnetFriday and embark on a journey of continuous learning, personal growth, and unforgettable experiences in the world of .NET and Azure development. See you at our next meetup!
Here some of the topics we have covered the past sessions:DotnetFriday events always start at 16:30 CEST. We allow attendees to arrive and settle with a drink for about half an hour. The first session typically starts at 17:00 CEST. A usual DotnetFriday evening looks like so:

| 18:00 | 18:50 | End of the session, starting dinner |
| 18:50 | 19:05 | Lightning talk (this timeslot is optional does not always take place) |

We strive to make DotnetFriday as fun as possible. We invite you to stay for a drink and have a laugh after the last session finished, although we do understand those who leave and enjoy their evening elsewhere. Please note that we may deviate from the standard program here and there, each and every DotnetFriday edition is unique ;)
Meet Anjuli Jhakry: A Microsoft MVP and .NET developer at 4DotNet by day and a Microsoft Entra ID explorer by night. I’m navigating the vast ecosystem of Microsoft, always eager to learn. Beyond this, I am passionate about giving presentations and advocating for the incredible potential of tech to everyone.
Get to know the power of Microsoft Orleans! Microsoft Orleans abstracts away much of the complexity of managing actors, distribution, and many more things, so that developers can focus on the application logic. In this presentation, you will learn about how Microsoft Orleans works and how it implements the Actor model, with a demonstration of a festival app.

How do I let my systems talk with each other in the Cloud or let’s say in Azure? Well, Microsoft’s answer to that is Azure Integration Services (AIS) - consisting of Logic Apps, API Management, Event Grid and the Service Bus. With these components, you can build solutions in Azure to facilitate communication between on-premise systems, SaaS systems or Azure services or what is known as integration.
AIS allows you to build various types of integration solutions leveraging different messaging mechanisms and ways of ’loose coupling’. Furthermore, AIS can help in automating your business processes whether or not in combination with the Power Platform component - Power Automate.
In this session, we shall discuss the AIS Components, the options for a solution architecture to allow systems to talk, best practices, real-world use cases, and combing AIS with Power Automate to facilitate business process automation.
