What we’re about
The Bristol Umbraco User Group - umbristol.co.uk
The aim of the user-group is to meet on a monthly basis, with a 2-monthly rotation: one month being an informal social gathering at a pub; the following month an office-based session/talk meet-up hosted by a local Umbraco partner/business.
The user-group was established in January 2010. A typical social meet-up is attended by 15+ people, where as the session/talks meet-ups attract larger attendees (25+ people).
If you are interested in giving a talk at one of our meet-ups, please get in touch with us here or our Twitter account: https://twitter.com/umBristol

umBristol Talks - November 2025
Runway East Bristol Bridge, 1 Victoria Street, Bristol, GBHello friends,
We continue our Umbraco Bristol events with the November talks, hosted by the team at manifesto at Runway East in central Bristol, with the usual food and drink provided for the evening for you to enjoy.
The talks for the evening will be:
- "Inside the Mind of an AI Coding Agent" by Neil Gilbert
We’ll peel back the layers of modern AI coding assistants to understand how they really think. From tokens and context management to tool orchestration and planning loops, we’ll see how systems like Copilot, Codex, and Claude Code differ — and what Neil learned building his own, CodePunk.
- "v17 Editor experience: A {=template} for success" by Joe Glombek
Editor experience isn’t just a nice-to-have — it’s what makes or breaks your build. With the arrival of the first LTS using the new backoffice, we're seeing fresh possibilities to shape more intuitive and delightful editing environments. But with great innovation (hello Bellissima!) comes the loss of old comforts (farewell AngularJS). We'll explore how developers can craft richer editor experiences using blocks, templated labels, and the newly-minted Umbraco Flavored Markdown (UFM) as well as some custom views and project-specific extensions. Whether you're wrangling complex content models or just tired of grumpy editors, this session will help you build backoffices that are thoughtful and elegant without sacrificing structure or sanity.
