Dave Pearcey, Full stack developer at Pro:Direct Sport LTD, UK:
“For me it was also facing my social anxieties, knowing that it’s expected of me to talk to fellow attendees. That was never an issue when we were there though... “
Elizabeth Gibbons, Director of Client Services at Zeroseven, Australia:

Tony Cortinas, Vice President and Co-Founder of Marathon Consulting, US:
“...after attending Codegaden, it’s clear that Umbraco is so much more than that. It’s a community.”
Laura Vogt, Content Editor & Umbraco Festival Organiser at byte5 digital media, Germany:
“At byte5, attending Codegarden is the initiation rite for every new employee. But honestly, it was much more than that to me…”
Owain Williams, Technical Developer at LEWIS, Scotland:
“Not all the CG18 talks or activities were about Umbraco which was great - it keeps everything really interesting…”
Gemma Disney, Project Manager at Carbon Six Digital Ltd, UK:
“Would it be worth the time? To boil it down, absolutely yes, it was worth it!”
Nicolai Birkmose Oksen, Keyboard Smasher & Code Creator at Umbraco HQ, Denmark:
“I was dead scared of bingo. Everyone kept telling me that no matter how much you prepare for bingo, it will surprise you…”
A big thank you and H5YR to Poornima, Dave, Elizabeth, Tony, Laura, Owain, Gemma and Nicolai for sharing your Codegarden experience with all of us.
We hope (and expect 😉 ) to see you all again for Codegarden 2019.
