Every year, Swetugg proves that the strongest tech communities are built on curiosity, generosity, and shared learning. At Swetugg Stockholm 2026, that spirit was on full display as developers, MVPs, and community leaders came together to exchange ideas, explore new technologies, and celebrate what’s possible when people learn from one another.
Every February, Swetugg transforms Stockholm into a vibrant gathering place for developers, architects, cloud practitioners, and community builders from across the Nordics and beyond. The 2026 edition continued that tradition with even more energy, deeper technical conversations, and an unmistakable sense of belonging—one that mirrors the very spirit of the Microsoft MVP community.
As a long-running grassroots conference built by developers for developers, Swetugg is a space where curiosity fuels everything. This year brought together local user groups, first‑time speakers, seasoned MVP experts, and community members eager to explore new possibilities across the Microsoft ecosystem.
Though rooted in Sweden’s tech scene, Swetugg has grown into a truly global touchpoint. Attendees traveled from across Scandinavia and Europe, highlighting how interconnected and collaborative our developer communities have become.

MVPs at Swetugg: Driving Knowledge, Inclusion, and Innovation
One of the most inspiring parts of Swetugg is seeing how many MVPs take the stage—not only to deliver top-tier technical sessions but also to uplift emerging voices.
From talks on .NET performance tuning to practical Azure governance patterns to real‑world demonstrations of AI tooling, MVPs showcased the value of hands-on, experience-driven learning. But what resonated even more deeply was the emphasis on sharing the stage: inviting newer speakers into panels, amplifying diverse perspectives, and creating mentoring moments throughout the hallway track.

Hands-On Learning: The Heart of Swetugg
True to its developer‑first roots, Swetugg goes far beyond traditional presentations. Deep‑dive sessions, live demos, and spontaneous hallway troubleshooting gave attendees the chance to explore ideas in depth, experiment, and learn directly from one another.
MVPs played a pivotal role here—jumping into live demos, offering real world guidance, and helping participants break down complex challenges into actionable next steps.
