Umbraco Cruising....
As most of you know (especially if you're a digital business owner in Manchester) the Umbraco Manchester meetup venues are found completely by cheek.
Though not this time…
Blueprint Web Tech has offered to pay for a barge for the next meetup! A proper floating barge from http://www.citycentrecruises.co.uk/ There’s a couple of planned talks (see agenda) and plenty time for a social drink from the on board bar.
The cruise lasts for 3 hours and sets off from Castle Street, near Albert’s Shed at 6:45pm prompt.
There is a maximum of 50 people, so places are strictly limited. If you do reserve a place and find you can’t attend please update your RSVP as soon as possible.
It’ll be one to remember!
Whats on?
Code Garden Recap.
Ismail Myatt has offered to give us a recap from the annual Umbraco Code Garden conference held a couple of weeks before.
How are we selling Umbraco?
More of a forum rather than a led session. Sam Flanagan will lead the proceedings but perhaps have a think about the following beforehand:
• How do we explain to clients the difference between Umbraco and WordPress? The advantages of Document Types over modules.
• Any examples of migrations from competitor systems, e.g., Kentico, Sitefinity, etc
• Any examples of where potential customers have been unconvinced by Umbraco and used a competitor system instead
• What evaluation methodologies are customers using during the CMS procurement process?
• Impact of Concorde
Chance to network and enjoy a drink...
