When do the days end? That's up to you. But please be aware that each evening we have special socialising events planned - events you don't want to miss! Great for networking, meeting other Umbraco enthusiast from around the work and perhaps experiencing something you didn't expect from a tech-conference...
Apart from all the things listed on this page, there are also a few special things to be aware of if Codegarden 2019 is your very first Codegarden experience.
First of all - we can't wait to see you 😄! And to make sure you get the best possible start to your Codegardene experience, we've got two initiatives that we highly recommend you participate in:
- The First-timers session. This session takes place on the 22nd of May at 08.30, thus, before the main program starts. At this session, we've invited seasoned, and super friendly Codegardeners who tell you about their experience and give you helpful tips and trick to ensure you get the most out of Codegarden.
- After the keynote on the 22nd of May, the uBuddy matching will take place at 11.00 at The Barn. This is basically your chance to partner up with a seasoned Codegaredener who you are able to reach out to with whatever questions you might have throughout the 3-day conference. It's a friendly, familiar face in the crowd - maybe you'll meet up regularly, maybe you'll just join for a cup of coffee in the mornings, maybe you'll just end up tweeting each other. We'll leave for you and your new uBuddy to decide. No need to sign-up for this anywhere, simply just show up for the matching session and get yourself a Codegarden buddy.
Find all the timings of the conference and all the talks on the Codegarden schedule.
You don’t have a physical ticket, so don’t go look for it. If you've made sure to assign your Codegarden ticket(s) before the deadline of the 1st of May, a name-badge will be waiting for you at the Codegarden venue (if not, we'll find a solution when you get here).
How to check-in:
- When you arrive on day 1 at the Codegarden venue, all check-in tables are categorized into alphabetical order based on your first name. Check-in starts at 08.00 and closes at 09.20
- When you arrive, remember your name (😉) and then look for the correct table.
- At the check-in table, you’ll be met by a friendly HQ’er who’ll register you and hand you your badge
- That's it! But don't forget to grab your free, stunning Codegarden 2019 t-shirt 👕
Pro-tip: there are no seat reservations, so make sure you check-in in good time so you can grab one of the best seats for the big keynote by the founder of Umbraco, Niels Hartvig at 09.30.

Make sure you follow @codegarden on Twitter! If you don’t have a twitter account you are still able to see the posts.

Yes. There'll be a number of dedicated parking spots for Codegarden attendees - keep an eye out for the Codegarden "P" signs when you arrive. Spots are limited though, so if you're able to leave your car somewhere else in the city (or at home), we highly recommend that.
We have no doubt that you are completely capable of packing your own suitcase. So don't worry, we won't give you advice on how many socks to pack - we will, however, give you a few tips on other stuff you might not have thought of, or may have your doubts about whether they're necessary to bring or not.
The list has been put together by the help of previous Codegarden attendees, so you're sure to get quality advice on what to bring.
