uBuddy 2025 - Codegarden Orientation for First Timers

Attending Codegarden for the first time can be an overwhelming experience. Between the international travel, the packed agenda, and the famously festive community, it can be a lot to take in. That’s where the uBuddy Program comes in.

uBuddy is our way of helping you feel connected, clued-in, and confident before your first proverbial Codegarden rodeo even begins. As our first order of business, we're all getting together on Zoom for a pre-festival friendmaking orientation session. Think of it as kind of a crash course in logistics, lore, and local tips. We'll also have some time for you to ask questions you've got, and we'll pair folks up into groups so you'll have uBuddy friends to find and celebrate with when you make it to the event.
