Rumors have been going around that a special guest will be at the DotNet conference in Spain. We can now confirm and report that the special guest will be Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella.
The appearance was confirmed by Microsoft’s technology evangelist Jose Bonnin, on Twitter:

Satya’s presence at the event might be due to its proximity to the separate Mobile World Congress event which occurs in Barcelona Spain. The DotNet conference is a free 2 day virtual event co-organized by the .NET community and Microsoft, and features speakers from Microsoft’s product team members. The event also includes more than 16 hours of content on subjects such as ASP.NET 5, .NET Core, Roslyn, learnings from running large scale websites, and more.
Registration for the DotNet Conference is €10. You can register for the event here. If you can not attend in person, you can catch up on 2015’s event and watch select sessions here.
