On February 6, 2026, something interesting happened in London: the .NET MAUI community came together with a level of energy that hinted at where cross‑platform .NET development is heading next. With Microsoft engineers, enterprise teams, community leaders, and partners all in one place, .NET MAUI Day London 2026 felt less like a conference and more like a glimpse into the future of the ecosystem.
Syncfusion® was proud to be a major sponsor, represented onsite by Paul Anderson and Shriram Sankaran, as developers gathered to explore what’s new, what’s coming, and what’s quietly transforming the MAUI landscape.
🔍 A day built around what’s next for .NET MAUI
From the opening session, the tone was clear: .NET MAUI is evolving faster than many realize. David Ortinau kicked things off with a roadmap session that drew a packed room, spotlighting:
- Ongoing performance work.
- Tooling improvements.
- Cross‑platform consistency.
- Long‑term stability investments.
That sets the stage for a lineup of sessions from respected names, including:
- Stéphane Delcroix.
- Matt Goldman.
- Mark Allibone.
- Clifford Agius.
Each brought practical insights, from advanced UI patterns to enterprise‑scale optimization, showing how much maturity MAUI has gained in real production environments.
Syncfusion at the event: Real conversations, real use cases
As a major sponsor, Syncfusion enjoyed vibrant engagement throughout the day. Developers stopped by with questions, demos, and challenges from their active projects, sparking conversations around:
- Migrating apps from Xamarin.Forms.
- Getting consistent UI across Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS.
- Performance tuning in large‑scale MAUI deployments.
- Reducing development effort using Syncfusion .NET MAUI controls.
Many attendees shared how they already rely on Syncfusion grids, charts, schedulers, PDF and Excel libraries, and other components to ship enterprise‑grade apps faster and with greater confidence.
These interactions provide valuable insight that helps Syncfusion shape upcoming features and refine existing ones.
Syncfusion steals the spotlight with a .NET MAUI Blazor Hybrid session
One of the most talked‑about sessions came from Syncfusion’s own Shriram Sankaran.
He demoed .NET MAUI Blazor Hybrid in a way that made many developers rethink what’s possible.
Watching Blazor components blend seamlessly with MAUI’s native capabilities sparked many “wait… I could use this in my app” moments. The follow‑up questions and hallway discussions said it all: hybrid development is gaining serious traction.
The .NET MAUI ecosystem is growing fast
The event made something very clear: the .NET MAUI ecosystem isn’t just alive, it’s accelerating. We saw:
- A clear and confident roadmap.
- A highly engaged community.
- More enterprise adoption than ever.
- Growing interest in partner tools and third‑party components.
For Syncfusion, it was motivating to see our .NET MAUI controls powering everything from internal tools to large commercial applications.
