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development time, reduce risk, keep technical debt in check and help teams adopt new technologies sooner while avoiding outdated approaches and reinventing the wheel.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

Virtual

19:00—20:00 — Europe/Copenhagen

Full Details

Online event

5 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 ;-)
