The Umbraco DK Festival 2018

Get your hands on Early Bird tickets to the big event in Aarhus in October!

Written by:

Ready for the autumn Umbraco Festival season to kick-in? It’s packed with great festivals all around the world. One of them: The Umbraco DK festival. The good news is that there’s no rush, meaning you get to plan way ahead for this awesome festival - and even better, you get to get your hands on Early Bird tickets! What’s the DK festival like? The host, Kraftvaerk, will tell you all about it right here - safe to say, the key theme is “awesome” 😉

The Awesome Umbraco DK Festival twinkles in the horizon

All awesomeness is gathered as the planning of the Umbraco DK Festival has begun. Speakers are carefully being selected and festivities are being planned.

The date for this years’ Umbraco DK Festival is the 26th of October in Aarhus.

If you love Umbraco, or if you like Umbraco very much, or just a tiny bit, we highly recommend you to attend this festival.

The Umbraco DK Festival has two tracks: a tech track solely focusing on Umbraco and all its technical uses, features and services. And a business track with focus on the commercial part of digital solutions, tools and trends.

As the awesome festival it is, you are of course welcome to  participate on both tracks, just as this clever guy did at a prior Umbraco DK Festival:

There’s been some excellent talks this year - on both tracks. I must admit that even though I was signed up for the Tech Track I did manage to sneak into a few talks on the Business Track. I came away with some really interesting and relevant learnings from both tracks, so that’s really awesome.

Even though the planning is in its early days, we have already ensured the Chief Unicorn, Master of Confetti and founder of Umbraco, Niels Hartvig, to open the festival. Hopefully, he will let us in on some exciting secrets regarding Umbraco 8 and the future of  Umbraco.

It is the sixth time that we, Kraftvaerk, organizes the Umbraco DK Festival, and it seems to get bigger for each year.

Maybe because of the special Umbraco atmosphere?

I’ve met up with people from the Umbraco community, old as well as new ones. It’s a great opportunity to network and because of the new Business Track I’ve also talked to new people which is really nice. To summaries the day: Good specific information and community. And like all Umbraco events; festivals, Codegarden, Meetups, there’s such a great atmosphere and everybody trust each other - you can leave your laptop unattended and there’s no need to worry - it’s an incredible place to be.

Or maybe because of the awesome takeaways?

 

In general, with all the talks today, whether being abstract or more practical, they force you to re-think the way you do things and that’s really great.

…even though all the talks have been very versatile throughout the day, I’ve come away with one main theme to focus on: User Experience”

The new division of tracks (Tech and Business, red.) is so relevant. It’s important for developers because it is good to gain an understanding into why you’re told to do a project in a specific way, and likewise, it is nice that our consultants and our bosses get a greater understanding of what we do (…). To them, Umbraco is all about coding but with a Business Track like at this festival, it becomes much more. I’ll definitely try to sell the festival a bit better to my business orientated co-workers next time!
