Summary

NUNUG is a monthly user group for .NET developers in northern Utah, meeting on the second Thursday — hybrid, in person at Mindfire Technology's Layton office and online via Microsoft Teams. Adults and children are both welcome, which is unusual for a professional user group and is stated explicitly on its site (official website).

The official site carries a March 2026 update saying hybrid meetings are being hosted that year, but its news feed stops in 2020 and the next-meeting slot reads TBA — so the site alone supports the advertised format, not that any particular meeting occurred (official website).

The group is nonetheless active, and that is knowable only off-site. Its organizer announced meetings in the Forge Utah community Slack every month from March to July 2026, each with a named presenter and topic, and described the March meeting as a "comeback meeting" after a dormant period (2026 meeting announcements). Those announcements establish that meetings were scheduled, not that anyone attended.

Who It's For

.NET and C# developers in Davis, Weber, and northern Salt Lake counties — the Wasatch Front north of the Silicon Slopes corridor, which is under-served by the Lehi- and Provo-centred meetup scene. The group's own framing is people who "want to keep current on new technology and expand our knowledge to other technologies", so it is not narrowly a Microsoft-stack room.

What It Provides

A monthly hybrid technical gathering with free parking at the advertised Layton venue and an online option for anyone outside commuting range (official website). The public site does not publish a current talk schedule.

How To Use It

Check the official site for an announced meeting before travelling to Mindfire Technology, 872 West Heritage Park Blvd Suite 200, Layton. The site states a second-Thursday cadence and hybrid format but currently lists the next meeting as TBA (official website).

Do not treat the dated 2026 update as a current event listing. The site's template contact block also contains placeholder text with a fictional Washington State address.

Cost / Eligibility

Open to adults and children alike. The captured official page says food is not provided; it does not state a price or establish a current event schedule (official website).

Best Fits

Northern Utah developers seeking a small technical user group rather than a formal training program, and anyone wanting a practitioner's read on where AI coding tools actually help in an enterprise .NET codebase.

Evidence

Open Questions

How long was the dormancy, and why? The site's news items stop in 2020 and the group described March 2026 as a comeback. Nothing located explains the gap or when meetings actually stopped.
Is the cadence still running past July 2026? The last located announcement is for 2026-07-09.
How many people attend? No figure exists in the captured public source.
Is the group formally organized — an entity, an EIN, a sponsor relationship with Mindfire — or an informal group meeting in a friendly company's office? No registration was located, and Mindfire's role beyond hosting is unstated.
Is the published cadence and Layton venue still current? The official site's next-meeting field is TBA.
