Update Conference Prague will be even better in 2024. We've decided to add an all-day workshop with the attractive topic of .NET Modernization which will take place one day before the conference, on Wednesday, November 13, 2024.

The hackathon will be led by Tomas Herceg, Microsoft MVP and author of the new Modernize .NET Web Applications book.
