Our community says it best! Here’s what previous Spark speakers shared about taking the stage:
“Umbraco Spark was my first in-person Umbraco event of the year and remains a highlight of my developer journey. As one of the year’s first conferences, it’s the perfect community check-in — catching up, sharing ideas, and looking ahead. The Spark team are fantastic to work with, always helpful and supportive. No matter where you are in your career, I highly recommend getting involved — there’s no more supportive audience than Spark!"
“As a first-time attendee and speaker, Umbraco Spark was welcoming, inspiring, and full of genuine connection. Sharing my talk on designer/developer handoff pitfalls with such an engaged audience was truly rewarding.”
"I loved my day at Spark, with the shared focus of a single track, a full room and a great venue. More importantly, there's the people: the Spark crowd are friendly, inquisitive and up for a chat."
"Speaking at Umbraco Spark was an awesome experience! The event was very well organised and included plenty of social activities. The venue in the centre of beautiful Bristol was perfect, and I was very well received by both the organisers and the attendees. I learned a lot from the other sessions and got to meet a lot of new Umbraco friends as well."
