Please join us for an evening of all things Umbraco - the latest news, community chat, and a talk or two! For 2026, we will be running both in-person and virtual meetups, alternating every month. For those who can't join in person, virtual attendance is available too, so you can join us no matter where you are! This month, we have **Owain Jones** talking about building friendly content editing experiences and **Markus Johansson** talking about building packages for Umbraco. **Owain Jones - Unlocking the Full Potential of Umbraco: Building Friendly Content Editor Experiences** Umbraco is often called "The Friendly CMS", and it absolutely can be when we, as developers, make the most of what it offers. In this talk, I’ll show how we can utilise Umbraco’s built-in features and community packages to build intuitive, efficient, and friendly experiences for content editors. **Markus Johansson - Extending Umbraco like a Swede** In this talk, Markus will share his learnings from over 15 years of extending Umbraco. We’ll get a brief overview of the possibilities introduced with the new backoffice “Bellissima”. He’ll also give us tips and tricks that is useful both when extending Umbraco for a specific project or publishing a package for the Umbraco Marketplace. There will also be food, drinks and some friendly socialising. What's not to like? 😄 Whether you are an Umbraco novice or a seasoned developer, this is your chance to meet like-minded people to talk about our favourite friendly CMS! No matter what your role is there will be something to learn and your chance to meet other members of the Umbraco community from Kent and the surrounding areas. Venue The meetup will be at Dragon Coworking in Rochester (7-8 New Road Avenue, St George's Hotel, Rochester, ME4 6BB), a short walk from Chatham train station and with free on-site parking. If you wish to use the car park, please access via Gundulph Road, Rochester, ME4 4ED. You can then use the steps between buildings to access the entrance. If the car park is full there is on road parking available, but please check the parking restrictions. On arrival, please make your way to St George's Hotel reception (where you access Dragon Coworking) and one of the organisers will come and collect you. **Please note: Do not bring bananas, nuts or pineapple into the coworking space as there are members with allergies.**

**How AI Breaks the Career Ladder: Automation and Coordination Failure in Knowledge-Intensive Firms** by [Claudio Zucca](https://www.linkedin.com/in/claudio-zucca-b691292/) AI automation creates an intertemporal tradeoff for knowledge-intensive firms: cutting junior workers to exploit cheap automation boosts short-term profits but depletes the career pipeline needed to develop future senior talent. Individual f irms can resolve this tension through lateral hiring from competitors, but the industry as a whole cannot—lateral markets merely redistribute talent from a collectively shrinking pool. We develop a dynamic model with nested CES production calibrated to law firms, investment banking, and management consulting, treating the industry as a closed system where senior professionals must be developed internally through multi-year apprenticeships. When all f irms optimize automation individually, they collectively eliminate 92–95% of the junior talent pipeline. Dynamic simulations show firms maintaining career ladders sacrifice 16–32% of potential automation gains in the short run but ultimately achieve 60–112% higher output when partner scarcity becomes the binding constraint. Crossover periods occur 8–15 years after the automation shock (at absolute periods t=14 for investment banking, t=16 for law firms, and t=20 for management consulting). Although automation initially boosts output by 50%, the subsequent destruction of the career pipeline depletes the senior professionals who are production complements to automation, causing output to fall below the pre-shock baseline despite continued robot usage. This creates a coordination failure combining Becker’s training externality with common pool resource dynamics: individual firms can free-ride on competitors’ training investments through lateral hiring, but when all firms automate simultaneously, lateral markets cannot expand aggregate capacity. Solutions require industry wide coordination **Hidden Signals in Text Embeddings: Recovering Skill Hierarchies with Inductive Hyperbolic Representations** by [Thiago Brant](https://www.linkedin.com/in/thiago-quaresma-chaves-brant-605a21b/) Many areas of learning have a hidden order: some skills and ideas need to come before others. In this work, we ask whether that order can be inferred from the subtle signals already embedded in text embeddings, even when the model is not explicitly told which concept should point to which. We train a self-supervised system that learns from text descriptions, places concepts in a curved space well suited for hierarchies, and uses only a very small hint to keep the overall direction consistent. When tested on entirely new skills, the method recovers prerequisite direction better than a comparable standard baseline. Control experiments also show that the gains come from meaningful semantic information in the text. Overall, the results suggest that text representations contain hidden clues about learning order, and that hyperbolic geometry helps bring that structure out.

Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs. This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context. We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing. **SPEAKER BIO** Mosaic Syed is a Senior Data Engineering and Cloud Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions across global enterprise environments. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mosaic-basha-syed-92300856 **CALL FOR SPEAKERS** Learn more: [https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/](https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/) **THANK YOU** *VEEAM* for hosting our meetup!
