Until I had gone to my first meetup, I didn't realise how comforting and safe it would feel to be around like minded people. When I started going to meetups, I realised that there were other people out there who liked the same things I do, and I could have decent conversations with them face to face. With that in mind I would encourage to you attend a meetup if you can.
We love to hear great talks at meetups
Here are some popular Umbraco meetups, some of them are virtual meetups.
Umbraco Scotland is a networking group for anyone interested in Umbraco. We have regular social meetups where people can come and chat to friendly and like-minded Umbraco folk. We also have more formal presentation-based meetups where experts in the community share their knowledge and usually kick-start some lively debates!
The purpose is to get together, discuss and learn a little about Umbraco having some fun while doing so. Whether there are two of us or 22, the event will go forward, so come along and take part!
The London Umbraco Meetup Group is a monthly meetup for Umbraco devotees and newbies to come along, learn and share their knowledge and to also gently spread the umbraco love to all.
We aim to meet each month, where you can have a chat and a beer with other fellow Umbracians.
We also try and mix it up by having talks by both Umbraco and non-Umbraco
