A look back at a few pictures from this past year's events

🍾 Cheers to 2025, our biggest year yet. We're looking forward to what we've got planned in 2026. We've already kicked it off with Mikko Sovari talking about Responsibility Thinking.

February 5, we'll be having an Hybrid event on-site at Sammons Financial Group and on Zoom!

As so many Meetups around the country are struggling with attendance, we're thankful all of you continue to invest in the Iowa .NET community.

📈 This was our biggest year yet with 491 Meetup signups across 11 events!

IADNUG wouldn't be possible without you, the community, getting together monthly on the first Thursday of the month to learn from one another.

We're grateful so many of you chose to be with us in 2025.
