Codegarden Wraps the Month of May with World’s Largest Umbraco Conference Ever
This month concludes another successful chapter in Codegarden’s history. Of course, the beginning of the month was kicked off by Umbraco Coffee sessions where Umbracians Callum and Marcin talk about everything Umbraco. But the main highlight of the month of May was, by far, Umbraco 18.
Huge Umbraco Conference: The Biggest Yet
From May 23 to 24 held Codegarden 18—the biggest Umbraco Conference in the world. Not only were people from Codegarden present, but also people from all over the Umbraco programming sphere.
Taking place in Odense, Denmark, the conference was a three-day event that included lunch, dinner, and a number of smaller get-togethers. Featured were a number of high-quality sessions with community experts, our core team, and acclaimed keynote speakers. Attendees were able to leave our conference with a number of benefits, including:
Great new ideas for upcoming Umbraco projects
A new network of Umbraco professionals
Experience with several hands-on workshops
Rendezvous with the visionaries behind Umbraco
The biggest Umbraco conference in the world featured a number of inspiring speeches. Highlights included a keynote speech by Niels Hartvig, our chief Umbraco unicorn, and an interesting presentation entitled “WTF are we even doing here?” where Alexander Kjerulf explained how purpose and happiness are interrelated.
Other interesting talks included Anders Trans Sorensen's presentation: “10 things that will grow your agency,” detailing the different areas within a programming agency that make or break a team. On the more technical side of Umbraco, Vitaly Friedman, the editor-and-chief of Smashing Magazine, gave a talk about the dirty little shortcuts developers can use to save precious time and energy.
At the conference, our attendees also got to do other things non-Umbraco related in the city of Odense, like running with Anders Trans Sorensen, yoga classes, and an amazing pre-party that included a warehouse bar setup. Umbracians also enjoyed foosball and conversation at our party tent, where some donned colourful costumes. Other funny highlights included a puppet show by Lee and Marc.
What Our Umbracians Thought…
Our Umbracians seemed to love our conference events and parties. In fact, a number of them praised us via Twitter for a conference littered with new and old faces, good energy, warmth, and learning. Here’s what some of them thought:
“Another great #codegarden18! Summary! Great chats with new faces & old friends, exploring new ideas, debated some old ones, lots of good energy and vibes! Fascinating watching #umbraco & the community grow over the years, a memorising & dreamy bunch."
One of our Umbraco professionals also summarised the atmosphere perfectly: “
Another #codegarden has come and gone, many more wonderful memories of wonderful people! The #umbraco community is truly something special and I am extremely proud to be a part of it! Goodbye Funen, I will be back! #cg18#cg19#h5yr”
Here’s to another successful Umbraco conference!

I'm an entrepreneur and web developer with a passion for coding. I absolutely love working with Umbraco CMS and appreciate the Umbraco community even more.
I've got 10 years+ .Net experience and 7 years+ experience working in the recruitment industry, both coding and marketing job websites. I wanted to use my skills to help give something back to this awesome community and so I decided to build UmbraJobs.com.
My vision & fundamentals
I want this website to be a place where Umbraco Professionals and Umbraco Partners can advertise their services but at the same time I want to filter out all the under-qualified freelancers & agencies that take up the biggest part of other job & freelancer websites. We've all worked hard to gain our Umbraco certifications, partnership status, and help build the Umbraco community to what it is today. I want to see everyone get rewarded for their efforts.
