  "Why everyone should be an Umbraco package developer"
  
  Packages are essential to the Umbraco ecosystem and, whilst this might be news to you, everyone can get involved. In this talk, I'll share my recent experiences from package idea to implementation and release: the gotchas that tripped me up and the community stalwarts who helped immensely. Let’s lower the barriers to entry and explore some new ideas and tools that encourage collaboration, prevent duplication and benefit us all.

  Joint talk: "Playmaker: Dances with Wolves"
  
  In this session, Lee and Luke will show you how Playmaker was achieved using Wolverhampton Wanderers football club as our Playmaker pioneer; migrating content from Umbraco 7 to the latest version, delivering a delightful CMS back office experience, along with pluggable integrations for 3rd party services offering eCommerce, single sign-on, game statistics and live streaming video.

  Joint talk: "A sustainable approach to the web"
  
  The web is for everyone, just like the planet we live on. In this talk, we'll look at sustainable development practices with a wide range of examples as to how to reduce and measure the carbon impact of your websites. From optimising images to font delivery to choosing the right hosting. It can all make a difference, not just for the environment but also for our users who ultimately get a better experience.

  Joint talk: "The new Backoffice of Umbraco"
  
  In this session, we’ll show you the latest status of the Umbraco version 13 project - including some of the implementation details. We’ll show how we use the Extension API ourselves for the core functionality, and as this is the very same way it can be extended by external developers - hopefully, this will give you some early ideas on, what to look forward to when extending the new Umbraco Backoffice in the future.
