Please join us online 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 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 Aaron Sadler giving you a talk about his UmbHost GreenStack web hosting, and Dean Leigh will be giving a demo of an AI back office extension that he's built from scratch using Claude.

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.

Join us for our next meetup as we dive into Umbraco.AI - Umbraco’s intentional approach to adopting AI into the Backoffice without locking you into tools, providers, or short‑term decisions.

We’ll discuss what this means for developers and editors, how it fits into real-world projects, and what’s ahead for the platform. Come share your thoughts, ask questions, and be part of the conversation.

OBS: Bemærk ny dato! Vi har desværre for få tilmeldinger til eventet på onsdag den 25. marts - I dialog med Umbraco HQ har vi sat en ny dato der er onsdag den 22. april 2026.

Kalder alle Umbraco entusiaster i Aarhus og omegn! Vi mødes til en hans-on, afslappende hackathon, hvor vi bygger med og lærer om Umbraco's AI og hvordan vi kan bruge AI til at bygge Umbraco. Om du er AI expert eller bare nysggerig, så er du velkommen :-)

Eftermiddagen vil gå med at bygge en "AI-Powered" pakke til Umbraco. Du kan bruge AI som en sparringspartner, for at gå fra idé til prototype. Men det er op til dig, hvordan du ønsker at arbejde og udforske AI i denne sammenhæng.

Der vil være eksperter fra Umbraco HQ til stede fysisk samt på en Discord kanal igennem eventet, som man kan spare med og få hjælp af, hvis man sidder fast.

Det er Emma Burstow og Sebastiaan Janssen, der vil stå for at føre os sikkert igennem dagens program.

Denne hackathon er en god mulighed, for at få indsigt og lære nyt i fælleskab med andre Umbraco community members og Umbraco HQ. Hvem ved, måske kan din idé til en pakke, ligefrem ende med at vinde en Umbraco Awards til CodeGarden?

OBS! Husk at medbringe din egen laptop, lader og selvfølgelig din nysgerrighed og et par idéer til en pakke.

Der vil være lidt forplejning i løbet af eventet i form af vand, kaffe, sodavand, snacks og lidt aftensmad.

Thinking about moving away from Sitecore but unsure where to start?

Join us for a practical, no-fluff session focused on real-world migration strategies from Sitecore to Umbraco designed for developers, architects, and digital decision-makers looking to reduce complexity, optimize costs, and modernize their CMS stack.

In this session, we will break down how organizations are successfully transitioning from Sitecore to Umbraco, what challenges to expect, and how to build a scalable, future-ready architecture.

We will cover key areas including content migration approaches, feature mapping, integrations, and how to redesign your solution using modern .NET and headless capabilities. You will also gain insights into performance improvements, and how Umbraco simplifies development workflows.

Whether you are evaluating options or already planning a migration, this meetup will give you a clear, actionable roadmap to move forward with confidence.

Hello fellow Umbracians,

In the greatest redemption story of all time Carl Sargunar will be sharing his demo from Umbraco Spark, hosted by Gibe at their offices in Paintworks, Bristol with the usual food and drink provided.

The talks for the evening will be:

• "DDoS My Desk: Load Balancing Live and Uncut!" by Carl Sargunar Bringing the cloud to the conference, I'll replicate in miniature a scalable, load-balanced environment to host containers and demonstrate concepts around Load Balancing in a fun and interactive way! Using a cluster of mini-computers, a router and some networking magic (and with a healthy sacrifice to the demo gods), we'll re-create a cloud in a mini-cluster and see how it copes with scaling, load-balancing, outages and downtime. There will be audience participation, there will be live demos, there will almost certainly be chaos but you'll learn key concepts needed to understand how load balancing will help you build resilient and scalable apps while having fun at the same time!

Agenda:

• 🚪 18:00 - Doors open
• 🍕 18:15 - Food and drinks
• 🗞️ 18:30 - Welcome/news
• 🗣️ 18:45 - Talks commence
• 🏠 21:00 - Home-time

Hope to see you there!

Lightning Talks evening!

Join us for a community driven, relaxed evening, of lightning talks and demos.

Schedule 18:00 - Doors Open\, Pizza and Networking 18:20 - Welcome 18:30 - Talks begin:

• "Make It Make Sense: Building Usable CMS Experiences" by Ashley Farmer (.NET Developer @ Spindogs) This lightning talk explores how to design CMS experiences that are genuinely usable for the people working in them every day. Ashley will look at the difference between usability and accessibility, why both matter, and where teams can make practical improvements that have an immediate impact on editor confidence and efficiency.
• "Developers, Assemble! Community is Your Team’s Superpower" by Joe Glombek (Umbraco MVP, Senior .NET Developer @ Bump Digital) What happens when your team spends work time eating pizza and hanging out with other techies? Surprisingly, they don’t just come back with stickers. They come back with ideas, solutions to problems, and a renewed enthusiasm for the work in front of them. The .NET community is strong, with meetups across the globe hosting experts who love sharing their knowledge. For businesses, these events are an incredibly cost‑effective way to keep teams engaged and learning. While conferences or formal training can swallow days of time and thousands in cash, a local meetup costs little more than a couple of hours and a bus fare — yet often delivers insights that save development time, reduce risk, keep technical debt in check and help teams adopt new technologies sooner while avoiding outdated approaches and reinventing the wheel. In this lightning talk, Joe shares what he’s learned as an organiser of the Bristol Umbraco Meetup — one of the longest‑running and best‑attended groups in the community. If you want a stronger tech team and bulletproof projects, helping them engage with the community might just be the highest-value superpower you can give them.
• "Across The Cloudiverse" by Richard Jackson (Umbraco MVP, Platform Engineer @ Rocket Science Group) Compare, contrast and critique the approaches and philosophies of different cloud service providers (CSPs) - such as Azure, AWS, GCP and Hetzner - and how Umbraco solutions be architected in each. Having recently moved from an "Azure-only" mindset to a more diverse appreciation of different CSP offerings, Richard F. Jackson is looking to share what possible benefits could be found from considering other options. There's also some core philosophical differences between the CSPs and their resource management strategies that have been illuminating to discover, and he would love to share them with you!

20:00 - Doors Close

What is a Lightning Talk? A short talk/demo (3-20 minutes), no pressure as it doesn't need to be a long polished presentation; just a quick, inspiring way for developers to share something cool!

Venue The meetup will be hosted at Spindogs, 3, Sovereign Quay, Havannah St, Cardiff CF10 5SF, which is about a 10-15-minute walk from Cardiff Bay Train Station. https://maps.app.goo.gl/uJEAM4U4wqoTMV6W9

Parking options

• Havannah Street Pay and Display Car Park \~ less than 1-minute walk.
• Q-Park Cardiff Bay \~ 15-minute walk.
