Yes it's that time of year again to start buying your tickets to
the annual Umbraco conference "CodeGarden".
This year we expect 350 Umbraco users to descend on Kedellehan in
Copenhagen in the Summer for three full days of demos,
collaboration, hacking and great socialising with one of the
friendliest communities out there.

CodeGarden is not like a traditional conference with just dull
sessions , it offers a totally unique experience and friendly
atmosphere, that you can't find anywhere else. As some of our
attendees said last year it felt more like a great & friendly
summer festival rather than a conference. That doesn't mean
it's just drinking in the sun all day every day ;-)
CodeGarden has a great mix of sessions, from practical hands on
knowledge that you can take away with you to sessions on how large
scale sites are running and using Umbraco, but CodeGarden isn't all
about the sessions, its about meeting with other like minded
developers and users to swap ideas and collaborate together. This
is exactly what happened at last years CodeGarden, which enabled
the birth of the
popular uComponents project. For me this is one of the reasons
what makes CodeGarden unique.
You really have got to be here to experience
this unique take on how Umbraco does conferences and I recommend
you convince
your boss to buy your
ticket today, but if you might struggle to
convince them then we have the perfect solution for you.
How to convince your boss in 90 seconds
We know it isn't always easy to get the budget
for going away for a 3 day conference. That is why we've put
together a special white paper on CodeGarden 2011.
Simply print out the "Convince your boss" PDF and put it on
their desk
Conferences can be hard to measure the value of. What do people
actually get out of 3 days away from the office, and can the cost
be justified?
To us there is no discussion, CodeGarden is the best investment
you can make as an Umbraco developer / agency. That is why, we've
put together a special white-paper on the conference and the value
it represents.

For more information on CodeGarden and how to buy your
ticket can all be find on the CodeGarden page, but if you
remind your boss if they buy your ticket before the 15th of
May they will save a whopping
100EURO.
Over the coming months expect regular blog posts from myself
announcing speakers, sessions and the general
buzz leading up to
the conference festival?
I look forward to seeing you all at CodeGarden.
