Introducing the Monthly Meetups Memo!
We're starting a new feature right here on the Umbraco blog, with a rundown of the previous (and following) month's meetups!
The monthly blog posts aim to be a forum to inform and inspire meetup organisers in how to make the best out of their meetups, and highlight the great work that they do! 🙌
Is it just for meetup organisers? Not at all! These are for anyone and everyone who is interested in attending meetups - to see what it's all about, or what you're missing out on 😉
“I like the idea of a 'Meetups memo'! For me, especially after our first Meetup since 1,5 years it's to reconnect with the community. It's been too long since we've heard each other since we had the chance to talk about Umbraco and what's going on.”
Joke Van Hamme, Co-organiser of the Belgian Umbraco User Group (BUUG) meetup

Attendees gathered for the Umbraco DK meetup
“(Joining a meetup is) to be reminded how friendly, wonderful and inspiring the Umbraco community is! Meetups provide knowledge, sharing and learning opportunities, of course; but to me it’s connecting with other Umbracians that I really appreciate. I consider myself very lucky to be involved with Umbraco London: we get to do this every month!”
Lotte Pitcher, Co-organiser of the London Umbraco Meetup Group.
