Cape Town really arrived in full force this past Saturday.
We ran the second leg of the country-wide tour – .NET Conf 2025 Community Edition South Africa – and the city did not disappoint. The turnout was incredible, the energy was electric, and the day was nothing short of epic.
Thank You, Cape Town
To everyone who came out and spent their Saturday with us – thank you. You are the reason we do this. Seeing a packed room of developers genuinely excited about .NET, AI, GitHub, and everything in between is what makes all the planning and preparation worth it.
Cape Town, you showed up. Big time.

Part of Something Bigger
This Cape Town leg is just one stop on the tour. A huge shoutout to the Cape Town MS Developer User Group and the JHBMSDUG – Johannesburg Microsoft Developer User Group for making this country-wide event possible. The collaboration, the logistics, the community spirit behind pulling this off across multiple cities – it is no small thing.
What’s Next
