I presented a session at the .NET Conference Italia 2025 in Milan a couple of weeks ago. The title was “Integrating our applications with LLMs and AI via MCP Servers”. It was well received; there were good questions throughout the talk and in the hall afterward. Surprisingly, live coding and demos went relatively smoothly.
The fine guys at ASP Italia just published the video in case someone is interested.
Yeah, it is in Italian. I got a transcript from MacWhisper and then asked Claude to translate and clean it up. It did a pretty good job, so let me know if there’s any interest in an English transcript; I might post it here.
Speaking of English, I’ve started submitting to international events again, without any luck so far. The conference landscape has changed quite a bit, especially since the COVID break. I still get invited to local ones, while internationals have been elusive. I suspect my change in technology stack plays a role. It was relatively easy to speak abroad when I was into Python. With .NET, not so much. But again, I was into Python in the pre-COVID era, so it is hard to tell which factors are at play and what their weight is.
