Umbraco Leeds Meetup
UmbLeeds: Paths to AI Orchestration & Automation within Umbraco Development
18:30—20:30 — Europe/London
Full Details
MSQ DX - Leeds Office, 28 Sovereign Street, Leeds, West Yorkshire, GB
14 RSVPed
Join us for a practical dive into AI-powered development workflows! There's no single route to letting an agent do real work on an Umbraco project. The right path depends on where your tickets live, where your code lives, how your team works, and where you are in your AI journey.
Matthew Wise and Phil Whitaker will walk through the stages of AI adoption, from friendly assistant to automated army, while keeping a human in the loop throughout.
The Talk: We'll show two versions of the same goal: ticket to pull request while you sleep. One using the fully joined-up GitHub ecosystem (issues to Actions). The other rolling an equivalent across Jira and Azure DevOps, where the tracker, the repo, and the automation trigger live in different places and have to be wired together deliberately. Underneath both, the same techniques do the work.
For true parallel execution, an agent or a developer running several tickets at once without branch-switching, one approach uses Git worktrees today with an eye on moving to cloud workers, the other is already running on cloud workers. Either way, uSync, Umbraco.Deploy, and a disposable SQLite database keep every ticket working in a clean environment, whichever host you're on.
The result is a practical checklist. Whatever your stack looks like, here's what has to be true before you can hand a ticket to an agent and get back a reviewable, Umbraco-aware pull request.
Who Should Attend: Developers looking to integrate AI into their workflows, teams exploring automation, or anyone curious about how agents can handle real Umbraco development work. Whether you're just starting your AI journey or already running agents in production, you'll find practical takeaways.
What to Expect:
- Real-world examples of AI orchestration
- Multiple implementation patterns for different tech stacks
- Practical techniques you can apply immediately
- Live demo
- Q&A and discussion
- Pizza and refreshments!
Agenda: 18:30 - Mingling + Pizza 19:00 - Introductions & Umbraco news 19:15 - Talk & Demo 20:15 - Open Social + Networking
📅 Thursday, September 3rd 📍MSQDX Leeds Offices 🍕 Pizza provided!

AI at Work: How Are We Actually Adopting It?

AI tools are appearing everywhere, but introducing them into a company is about much more than simply giving everyone access to ChatGPT or Copilot.
For this meetup, we’re going to have an open discussion about how organisations are approaching AI adoption in practice.
We’ll start by talking about how Umbraco HQ is approaching the onboarding and use of AI internally. Including some of the thinking around tools, experimentation, opportunities and the challenges that come with introducing AI into everyday work.
Then we want to open the conversation up to the room.
How are other companies approaching AI? Are you actively encouraging people to use it, still experimenting, or putting policies and guardrails in place first? What tools are people actually using? What’s working well, and what are you still unsure about?
Rather than a traditional presentation, this will be an informal discussion where we can compare experiences, ideas and approaches from across the Umbraco community.
Whether your company has a fully fledged AI strategy, a few enthusiastic early adopters, or you’re still working out where to begin, come along and join the conversation.
As always, there'll be plenty of time before and after the discussion to network with fellow Umbraco developers, designers, editors and digital professionals over pizza and drinks.
Whether you're completely new to Umbraco or a long-time community member, everyone is welcome.
Agenda
- 6:00pm – Arrive, pizza & networking
- 6:30pm – AI at Work & discussion
- 8:00pm onwards – More networking
We look forward to seeing you there!
Entry
Please check in at reception upon arrival, where a team member will guide you to the meetup location.

Speakers and topics
We’re delighted to have two fantastic speakers from the Umbraco community joining us.
Headless Publishing with Umbraco Automate: Callum Whyte – Umbraco & Microsoft MVP
What if Umbraco could be the engine that publishes content to just about anything? Callum will demonstrate extending Umbraco Automate for headless publishing – from a static-generated site with a custom queue-based trigger for batching content changes, to push notifications and beyond. He'll also share some tips around how different front-end and delivery technologies might influence the publishing strategies you choose.
A Path to AI Orchestration & Automation within Umbraco Development: Matthew Wise – Umbraco MVP
The goal: ticket to pull request while you sleep. Going through how to setup a project, to use Jira automations and Claude routines to deliver the solutions you need.
Not everything is solvable yet sometimes you still need to work locally, so I’ll show you how I work on multiple tickets at once using git worktrees, SQLite and uSync/Umbraco.Deploy.
The result is a practical checklist. Whatever your stack looks like this is possible. Here's what must be true before you can hand a ticket to an agent and get back a reviewable, Umbraco-aware pull request.
Interested in speaking?
We’re always keen to hear from people who would like to share something with the community.
You don’t need to be a seasoned conference speaker. If you’ve solved an interesting problem, built something you’d like to demonstrate, learned something others could benefit from, or simply have an idea you’d like to discuss, drop us a message or comment on the event page.
The Newcastle Umbraco Meetup is about creating a friendly space where people can share knowledge, learn from each other and get more involved in the wider Umbraco community.
Come along, grab some pizza and a drink, meet some new people and talk all things Umbraco.
We look forward to seeing you there!
