Codegarden 2026 Review & Discussion

Couldn't make it to Codegarden this year? Or did you attend and want to continue the conversations? Join us for our July Manchester Umbraco Meetup as we look back at everything that happened at Codegarden 2026.

Codegarden is the biggest event in the Umbraco calendar, bringing together developers, editors, agencies and the wider community from around the world. This year's conference was packed with product announcements, technical deep dives, AI discussions, community stories and a glimpse into what's next for Umbraco.

Rather than a traditional presentation, this meetup will be an informal review and discussion of the biggest highlights from the event.

We'll cover:

• The biggest announcements from the keynotes
• New features and what's coming in future Umbraco releases
• The most interesting technical sessions
• AI, MCP and automation discussions from the conference
• Community highlights and favourite moments
• What these changes mean for developers, agencies and content teams
• Open discussion, questions and your own Codegarden experiences

Whether you were in Copenhagen, watched online, or simply want to hear what everyone is talking about, this is a great opportunity to catch up with the local Umbraco community and discuss what excited us most.

We'll also be sharing our own takeaways from the conference, including insights from sessions, conversations with the community, and ideas we're already looking forward to trying out. Community reflections from attendees have highlighted new AI capabilities, product roadmap updates, and the collaborative spirit that makes Codegarden such a unique event.

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.
