Random notes about the conference

Event Venue

Summary

The 2017 edition of the .NET Developer Days was a success. I still have to process my notes and all the input I've gathered there. I will update my personal conference schedule with links to my own digest posts of the sessions where it makes sense.

If you want to attend the 2018 edition, you will be able to catch a super early bird ticket from the beginning of December!

Happy conferencing!
