Please join us for an evening of all things Umbraco - the latest news, community chat, and a talk or two!

For 2026, we will be running both in-person and hybrid virtual meetups, alternating every month. For those who can't join in person, virtual attendance is available too, so you can join us no matter where you are!

This month, we have Owain Williams joining us to talk about Umbraco Automate.

Owain Williams - Automation for the people

In this session, we'll dive into Umbraco.Automate and how custom Triggers and Actions can push your blog content to Mastodon, Bluesky, and LinkedIn the moment it goes live. We'll walk through building workflows inside the Umbraco 17 backoffice, including conditional flow that decides which platform gets what content, and when.

There will also be food, drinks and some friendly socialising. What's not to like? 😄

Whether you are an Umbraco novice or a seasoned developer, this is your chance to meet like-minded people to talk about our favourite friendly CMS! No matter what your role is there will be something to learn and your chance to meet other members of the Umbraco community from Kent and the surrounding areas.

Venue

The meetup will be at Dragon Coworking in Rochester (7-8 New Road Avenue, St George's Hotel, Rochester, ME4 6BB), a short walk from Chatham train station and with free on-site parking.

If you wish to use the car park, please access via Gundulph Road, Rochester, ME4 4ED. You can then use the steps between buildings to access the entrance. If the car park is full there is on road parking available, but please check the parking restrictions.

On arrival, please make your way to St George's Hotel reception (where you access Dragon Coworking) and one of the organisers will come and collect you.

Please note: Do not bring bananas, nuts or pineapple into the coworking space as there are members with allergies.

Come join us as we dive deeper into Umbraco Automate.

Owain Williams (Umbraco MVP and Senior .NET Developer at Initials Labs) will dive into Umbraco.Automate and show how custom Triggers and Actions can push your blog content to Mastodon, Bluesky, and LinkedIn the moment it goes live. We'll walk through building workflows inside the Umbraco 17 backoffice, including conditional flow that decides which platform gets what content, and when.

Whether you're looking to automate content distribution, build custom integrations, or learn more about the power of Umbraco Automate, this session will provide practical examples and real-world insights you can apply to your own projects.

Our next meetup is back in Glasgow at Factory73 HQ.

Mark McDonald will be presenting "Authenticated Doesn’t Mean Trusted"

A practical security talk about custom Umbraco backoffice functionality. The demo would show how a restricted editor can manipulate requests to access data outside their intended scope when a custom API checks only that they are logged in. It would then rebuild the authorisation model properly and connect the lessons to real Umbraco security advisories.

There will be pizza and refreshments, and off to the pub for drinks after, so make sure to sign up here so we have a good idea of numbers.

Join us for a community driven, relaxed evening, of talks, demos and friendly networking!

Signup is FREE, please ignore any upselling from meetup.com, you DON'T need meetup pro to attend!

The Evening's Talks and Demos:

• From OU Apprentice to OU Graduate: Building a Career and a Degree at the Same Time by Tom Prynn - Analyst Developer @ Aspire Systems I’ll share my journey from Open University degree apprentice to graduate while building a career in software development. I’ll talk about the realities of balancing work, study, and life, the challenges along the way, and the lessons I learned from the experience.
• Copilot CLI: Testing AI Agents on a Production Project by Vicky Howells - Analyst Developer @ Aspire Systems GitHub Copilot CLI brings AI agents directly into the terminal — but what does that look like on a real, active codebase? This talk covers what GitHub Copilot CLI is, how to configure it, and what it looks like in practice: using it to deliver features from first prompt to PR and running AI-assisted code reviews.
• Learning how to host scalable websites on a home-made cluster! by Carl Sargunar - Umbraco MVP & Technical Director @ Mondo Media Bringing the cloud to the conference, I'll replicate a scalable, load-balanced environment to host Umbraco containers and demonstrate key concepts around Load Balancing in a fun and interactive way! Using a cluster of mini-computers, a router and some networking magic, we'll re-create a cloud in a mini-cluster and see how it copes with scaling, load-balancing, outages and downtime. This talk will pull together a small cluster that anyone can build with some old hardware and networking, and with freely available open source software we can put together a highly available stack to host your applications and give you the tools and theory to do the same!

Why Join an Umbraco Meetup? Umbraco Meetups are a great way to engage with the Umbraco community and meet other web developer and software engineers. These events allow both experienced users and those curious about the platform to learn, share experiences, and showcase their work. It is a welcoming space for asking questions and building professional connections. Whether you want to learn or contribute, a meetup is the perfect place to start!

Are you a student looking to start a career in the software?? Then this event is a perfect chance for you to meet and network with professionals working in the industry that you want to join!
