uBuddy 2026: Codegarden for First-Timers
19:00—20:00 — Europe/Copenhagen
Full Details
Online event
13 RSVPed
New to Codegarden and not sure what to expect? This relaxed online session is just for first‑time attendees. Coming along for the first time can feel a bit overwhelming – there’s a packed program and a famously festive community waiting for you – but you don’t have to figure it all out alone. Join the Umbraco Developer Relations team for a fun, friendly, one‑hour virtual meetup where we’ll walk you through what Codegarden is really like. Think of it as a little crash course in logistics, lore, and local tips, so you arrive feeling ready to make the most of your first Codegarden.
We know some of you don’t know anyone else attending yet, and we want to fix that. You’ll have a chance to meet other first‑time attendees, say hello on camera or in chat, so you’ve got Codegarden buddies to find once you arrive. No preparation required – just bring yourself, your questions, and your curiosity about all things Codegarden and Umbraco!
This session is part of the uBuddy program – our way of helping you feel connected, clued‑in, and confident before the conference even begins. And the really good news? This year, Codegarden is in Copenhagen, so we don’t have to explain how to navigate the Danish trains to Odense ;-)
