Dear DNN’ers,

The countdown is on! Our much-anticipated DNN Europe conference in Girona, May 22–25 is fast approaching — and we urgently need to finalize our headcount within the next 2 weeks.

Why the rush? The hotel requires a rooming list soon, and we cannot guarantee availability for anyone who hasn’t registered by then. If you're planning to come (and we know many of you are!), now’s the time to lock in your spot.

This year’s event isn’t just another meetup — it’s a potential turning point for DNN. We’ll be diving into an exciting technical exploration: modernizing the DNN pipeline with a path toward .NET Core. Led by Sacha Trauwaen and others, this could shape the future of our platform — but your voice and input are essential.

Don't miss this opportunity to be part of that conversation.

Don’t get sidetracked by global noise — let’s focus on what we can build together in Girona.

Let’s make this year count.

Looking forward to seeing you in Spain!

Best regards,

The DNN Connect bureau,

Peter, Vicenç, Declan, Cathy, David, Timo, Stefan

Hey Community! do not hesitate and make sure you join the DNN Connect 2025, the only thing that I could say about this event is... "you won't regret going to a in-person event for the DNN Community!"

This is a great opportunity for network and also to get a bunch of information, news, latest updates and sessions with DNN guru's that are behind this great CMS platform!

Make sure you won't miss this event!
