About the conference

DotNext 2018 Piter is a technical .NET conference that took place on April 22-23, 2018, in St. Petersburg.

Here, at DotNext, you can find such world’s leading experts as Jon Skeet, Sasha Goldshtein, Dino Esposito, Andrey Akinshin, Mark Seemann, Karel Zikmund and other .NET community gurus; developers from Google, Microsoft, JetBrains, StackOverflow, and other companies; the top authors and leaders of the largest Russian developers’ communities.

The conference brought together more than 30 speakers giving their talks devoted to the future of .NET platform, performance and concurrency optimization, CLR and .NET platform inner workings, .NET code profiling and debugging.

Besides, the high-quality 1440p online-broadcast allowed those who could’t reach Saint Petersburg in person to take part in the conference, along with an opportunity to ask speakers any questions.

Discussion zone

Do you know the feeling when you raise your hand to ask a question and the track owner announces: "There’s time left for one question only"? Of course, he doesn’t pick you to ask that question. And then the speaker disappears behind the doors of the speaker room. To make sure this situation never happened, we set up dedicated discussion zones: special areas with a flip-chart for drawing, a couple of seats and an opportunity to pour a cup of coffee or two. The discussion zone opened right after the talk finished. That was the place to chat with the speaker, ask questions about the talk or get some advice on personal projects.
