Now, back to the stuff that will make Codegarden 2022 the best ever - the inspiring talks!
We Need You *pointy-finger*
A great Codegarden experience is a combination of a mix of things - but one thing that has always been important is the quality of the program. Without this as a solid foundation for the conference, no attendees.
Luckily, year after year, we’ve seen a growing number of recurring and new attendees and gotten great feedback on the talks and workshops at Codegarden, inspiring people to do more with Umbraco or even taking the first steps on their Umbraco journey.
And a quality program can only be achieved because we have talented people who sign up to share their knowledge and experience with peers. For 2022, maybe that’s you?
Who can submit a talk for Codegarden
“Uh, this sounds interesting - but am I qualified to talk at Codegarden?”
You might just be! We want to put together a broad program with a wide range of speakers and topics - and new speakers are definitely welcome (previous speakers as well 😉).
We want to hear from developers, project managers, business owners, end clients, and designers. So no matter if you have an idea for a great technical session targeting developers, a creative session targeting digital designers, or a case story targeting the business audience, Codegarden could be the right stage for you to share your knowledge.
To help you understand more specifically what type of talks you can submit for Codegarden, take a look at the 4 submission categories:
4 categories to submit your talk under
Digital Business
Your talk targets sales, marketing, and project managers that might have little or no technical background. The presentation is focused on case studies and enhancing client communication.
Technical
Your talk targets .NET developers or DevOps with a strong focus on code and the technical part of working with Umbraco. The talk delves into Umbraco and will give any developer an edge in the fast-moving world of the CMS and its surrounding products and services.
Creative
Your talk targets web designers and web developers. The audience can expect design-focused talks that might contain HTML, JavaScript, or CSS, but none (or very little) .NET code.
The Developer Life
Your talk focuses on learning experiences and sharing ideas and stories that are engaging, inspiring, and thought-provoking. The talk can cover career stories that inspire the audience and leave them with practical and actionable takeaways.
The above categories are to help you submit your talk but we also welcome new ideas that you believe would be a great fit for the Codegarden audience.
What format does the presentation have?
The sessions are planned to be 25 minutes long in which Q&A is not included.
All speakers will be invited to follow up during “Ask The Speaker sessions” where they can interact with attendees with the help of a moderator.
Your talk will take place at the Codegarden venue in Odense, Denmark on June 15 or 16th - travel, accommodation, and a free ticket for the full conference are included if you’re selected as a speaker. An option for doing your talk remote/virtually can be discussed.
Ready to submit your talk?
Go for it - you might just be picked!
You are allowed to submit up to 2 proposals and the submissions will close on March 3rd, 2022, at 10 AM CET. If your talk has been accepted, you will hear from us by the 6th of April 2022.
Want a bit of guidance before you submit? Then we’ve got just the workshop for you.

You can join whether you have an idea or are in the need of inspiration - and there are no strings attached. So if you’re considering submitting a talk even a tiny bit, this workshop is for you.
