Schedule
The final schedule is here and it’s packed with inspiring talks, hands-on activities, and two days of unforgettable experiences! We're looking forward to seeing you in Chicago!
Tuesday, September 29, Official Opening Party
When: 7-10pm
Where: Haymarket Pub & Brewery
Kick off Umbraco US Festival 2026 Tuesday evening at Haymarket Pub & Brewery, just two blocks from the conference venue. This West Loop staple brews its own beer on site and serves up great pub bites in a big, laid-back space built for good conversation.
It's the perfect low-key kickoff: grab a pint, meet some fellow Umbracians, and get ready for a great week ahead.
*The Umbraco Partner Summit is a partner event that is invite only. Please reach out to your Umbraco partner manager about separately registering for that event.

Sometimes that drink you have with somebody one night, six months later, turns into a contract and a job — and that's something you can't do on a Zoom call. The ROI on meeting in person isn't always a line item. It's relationships. And despite everything else that's changing in the world, relationships are still how business works.
