Hey .NET Fans! It’s that time of year again: .NET Conf is back November 10-12, 2026.We’ll spend three days learning from the people who build and use .NET, catchingup with the community, and launching .NET 11. The event is free and online, somark your calendar and join us from wherever you are.Get ready for the release of .NET 11We’ve been busy building .NET 11, and there’s already plenty to try. The latestpreviews include work across the runtime, libraries, SDK, ASP.NET Core, C#,.NET MAUI, Entity Framework Core, and more. We’re especially excited aboutC# 15 union types and the move to CoreCLR for .NET MAUI apps on Android, iOS,and Mac Catalyst. ASP.NET Core and Blazor also have a lot in store, includingricher static SSR and form validation, smaller Blazor WebAssembly apps, a newdevelopment server, and smoother Aspire integration. Minimal APIs gain asyncvalidation and C# union type support, and OpenAPI 3.2 is now the default.Alongside the .NET 11 work, we’ve also released v2.0 of the official MCP C# SDK,with a stateless-by-default protocol designed to make building and scaling AItools with ASP.NET Core more straightforward.Catch up on what we’ve shared so far:Explore what’s new in .NET 11Explore what’s new in ASP.NET Core in .NET 11Explore union types in C# 15Follow the latest CoreCLR progress for .NET MAUIRead about v2.0 of the official MCP C# SDKYou can also hear directly from the teams in recent.NET Community Standups.There’s more on the way between now and November.
