Codegarden 2021: The Aftermath

... and a heartfelt thank you!

Written by Eleftheria Tsatsi

The very first virtual Codegarden has come and gone, and what a ride it's been! More than 2350 Umbracians from 72 countries across the globe joined Codegarden 2021 - a one-of-a-kind knowledge-sharing conference experience and the biggest and only official Umbraco conference in the world. We’d like to give a huge H5YR to everyone who joined and made this event unforgettable - YOU really do rock 🙌

The biggest Codegarden ever 🚀

That’s right 🤩 This year’s virtual Codegarden saw a record-breaking number of attendees. More than 2350 attendees from all corners of the world joined us for the Umbraco conference of the year.

The virtual nature of the conference made it possible for everyone to join from the comfort of their home or office, without having to jump on a plane. Many attendees were Codgarden first-timers and were thrilled to get the opportunity to join this time around.

Codegarden was packed with 53 inspirational sessions by acclaimed speakers, 21 talented hosts, as well as 5 sign language interpreters 👋 Oh, and let’s not forget the 3 baking shows 😉 We’ve already started uploading the fantastic recordings on our YouTube channel - and we’re keeping them coming!

Winners shining bright ✨

Not one, not two...but three award shows took place during Codegarden 2021 🏆 As tradition goes, we got to announce the winners and nominees of Umbraco Awards on June 9th, as well as celebrate 62 new and renewed Umbraco MVPs on June 10th 🙌 This year, we added a new tradition - the Umbraco Package Awards on June 11th, where we got to recognize standout package developers from our community - check out the winners 🥇

Thank you for attending Codegarden 2021!

To sum up; H5YR 🙏! Thank you so much for joining our virtual Codegarden - we hope you had a blast just like we did. We simply can’t wait to see you in real life next year at Codegarden 2022 🎉
