About us
The Wisconsin .NET User Group was founded on February 12, 2002 at the launch of Visual Studio.NET. Our mission from inception has been to develop a peer group of developers, architects, and managers who are interested in learning, sharing and growing their Microsoft .NET knowledge and capabilities. The group's vision is to provide members with a forum to hear top industry experts speak, learn and teach others who are interested in the same technologies as you and are facing the same challenges.
The Wisconsin .NET User Group covers the entire spectrum of .NET technologies, including the Windows Server System, XML web services, application development with Visual Studio.NET and the .NET Framework (including web, mobile, and desktop applications.) We are proud to now have over 3,000 members and we have continued to grow stronger each month due to the well-known .NET expert speakers we bring each month, the support of our growing list of sponsors, and the input and interest of each of our members.
The Wisconsin .NET User Group's sole purpose is to bring technology and business people together who are interested in .NET technologies. In the pursuit of this purpose, we strive to bring interesting speakers to talk on interesting topics in a monthly meeting format. We also highly encourage interaction between members, so we can all share our experiences and learn from each other. It is this community orientation that brings us together to develop and deliver the best applications to our respective employers, customers, and ourselves.

.NET Conf - WI .NET UG: Inside Aspire: The Architecture Behind the AI Loop
Novus Home Mortgage, 20225 Water Tower Blvd ste 400, Brookfield, WI 53045, Brookfield, WI, USThis meetup is part of the .NET Conf 2026 community events tune in on November 10 - 13 for the main conference and the launch of .NET 11 and learn what's new!
Join us, on February 17th for this community event bring your questions, and spend an evening with the local .NET community.
What if the code you ship helped write the documentation that teaches AI how to use it?
Join David Pine from Microsoft's Aspire team for a look at the engineering behind that loop. We'll follow a real product pull request through GitHub Agentic Workflows into a documentation draft, see where human review and publication fit, and explore the C# services that fetch, parse, cache, and search Aspire's Markdown documentation.
This is architecture you can watch working. From the terminal, we'll read the published documentation corpus, search its documents and sections, retrieve guidance, and look up C# APIs. Then we'll show how the official Aspire AI skills put those tools to use, with an interactive weather map backed by a NativeAOT ASP.NET Core API as our application context.
Along the way, we'll explore Aspire's native CLI and dashboard, the boundaries that keep automation reviewable, and why current documentation matters more than a clever prompt. You'll leave with the source, the deck, and a practical picture of how code, docs, CLI tools, and AI skills reinforce one another.
