This year has been our most popular Spark to date, with just over 160 attendees, we've just sold out, earlier than ever before and we already have a long waiting list for those who didn't get there quickly enough so it just goes to show next year, make sure you get your ticket early!
We had over 40 talk submissions which is amazing, huge thanks to everyone who submitted, even if someone did wait until 2 mins before the deadline to submit!
The 2024 Umbraco Spark event will feature a lineup of expert speakers sharing their knowledge and experience on the latest trends and innovations using Umbraco. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from Umbraco HQ as well as key developers and MVPs from the wider Umbraco community.

FRIDAY 8 MARCH
Morning Run
Get ready to lace up your running shoes and hit the Bristol pavements because we're hosting an easy-paced, social 5K run on the morning of Umbraco Spark! The run will be approx. 30minutes. To find out more and to sign up click here.
Umbraco Spark Conference
And then for the main event at the M Shed! Registration opens at 8:30 am. If you want to make sure that you’re registered, have got a nice cup of coffee and are seated in time - this is the time to arrive. The programme for the day is jam-packed with amazing talks so we'll start promptly at 9:00 am. Once the conference comes to a close, we'll be having drinks in the M Shed overlooking the harbour before we head to the after-party.
It's party time
After beers at the M Shed come to a close at 6pm, we'll hop over the bridge to the Arnolfini which has been privately hired for the Umbraco Spark after-party. This is your chance to meet some of the other attendees and grab some food and drinks.
And that's it!
If you have any questions, then please get in touch with the Spark team at umbracospark@gibedigital.com
We look forward to seeing you all on Friday 8th March!
