About us
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
