Umbraco 5th Birthday in London - Presentations

Hello all,
It's Warren (The CWS guy) here I haven't blogged for Umbraco Corp for quite a while now, but its good to do a guest post again.

Last week Adam Shallcross from The Cogworks and myself from Xeed hosted the 5th Birthday party on 16th February 2010 in London and I'm glad to say it was a huge success, with around 75-80 people turning up to watch a jam packed day full of talks, birthday cake and mingling.

Adam and me organised the day to be a fun day as possible, with each attendee getting a birthday goodie bag that included:

• Umbraco pen
• Umbraco & Our.Umbraco button badges
• Umbraco paper pad for all those important notes
• Drink Voucher
• Party popper
• Party hat
