## 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](nunug-official-website.md)).

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](nunug-official-website.md)).

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](nunug-2026-meeting-announcements.md)). 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](nunug-official-website.md)). 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](nunug-official-website.md)).

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](nunug-official-website.md)).

## 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.

## 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.
