A free, online event for the .NET community.
JetBrains .NET Day Online 2026 takes place on Wednesday, October 7. Expect a day of practical talks, live demos, and real-world lessons from community speakers and the JetBrains .NET team.
Two things are different this year. The event was two days last time, while this year it’s one. We’re also opening the call for speakers now rather than a few weeks out, which means you have more time to put a proposal together.

Event basics
- Date: Wednesday, October 7, 2026
- Format: One day online livestream with real-time chat
- Time zone: Central European Summer Time, CEST (UTC+2). All agenda times will be listed in CEST.
- Cost: Free
- Recordings: Sessions will be available on demand after the event
- Landing page: https://lp.jetbrains.com/dotnet-day-online-2026/
What’s on the agenda
The full lineup will come together over the next few weeks. Here’s what’s already locked in:
- A keynote from the JetBrains .NET team on where the tools and the platform are heading and why.
- A live panel with JetBrains PMs and engineers, scheduled around the European lunch break so you can drop in without rearranging your day. Bring your questions to the chat, and we’ll get through as many as we can.
- Community talks, which is where you come in.
One thing that sets this event apart from most .NET content is that the people who build and support the tools are in the chat with you, including PMs, engineers, QA, and support staff. If you’ve been sitting on a question, October 7 is the day to ask it.
Call for speakers
We’re looking for talks that help .NET developers get better at the work they do. The goal is that they are practical, specific, and useful the day after the event.
Last year’s lineup covered .NET Aspire, clean architecture, C# nullability, messaging and queues, Blazor and Uno, F#, memory diagnostics, async/await, distributed logging, and what GenAI is doing to test-driven development.
We’re especially interested in talks on AI-assisted .NET development, where practitioners show what actually works on real projects rather than a polished demo.
Here’s how and when to apply online:
- Submit your proposal: https://sessionize.com/jetbrains-net-day-online-2026
- Deadline: Friday, September 4, 2026
- Suggested length: 30 minutes. If your talk genuinely needs 45 minutes, tell us why in your submission and we’ll consider it.
- What you get: a live audience, a professionally produced recording you can keep, and a team that handles the logistics so you can focus on the talk.
- Timing: we start in the CEST morning and run through the European day, same as last year. We’ll confirm your exact slot with you once the schedule comes together.
Never spoken at an online event before? Submit your talk anyway! We’re actively looking for speakers we haven’t featured before, including from parts of the .NET community that don’t get enough stage time. If you have a topic and you’re not sure it fits, send it in and let us decide.
