Great presentations and talks today at the Umbraco partner summit. Got a lot out of it. A lot to think about and take back to the team.

@umb.fyi@owain.codesLooking forward to Umbraco UK conference and partner summit over the next few days. Catching the train to London this morning.
Will be great to see all the familiar faces and also meeting new friends.
Come day hi if you spot me.
@umbhost.netUmbraco is what we're known for, but it's not all we host.
We also host Kentico, Optimizely and WordPress sites, plus native .NET (Core) and .NET Framework apps, all with support from people who know the platform.
@umbhost.netUmbraco 7 and 8 hosting deadlines are coming, with v7 moving to dedicated plans from 1 January.
We still support Umbraco 4 to 12 on secure Windows hosting, with Certified Master support and migration included.
@umbhost.netYour AI assistant now speaks GreenStack.
One skill and two MCP servers: set up Umbraco 13 or 17 for GreenStack, deploy, scale and manage DNS in UmbPanel, all by chat. Free and open source.
@protherj.bsky.social@fharper.bsky.social and I gave our #Umbraco US Festival keynote for content editors tired of being told to "use AI." 🙃
My takeaways:
📝 Structure your content types
📝 Package tasks as skills
📝 Build buttons, not prompts
AI should enhance, not replace, or give extra work. #TinyMCE
@umb.fyi
@proworks.bsky.socialYes, those are feather boas. Yes, that's an award. 🏆
Umbraco gave us "The Stars, Stripes & AI" for our work with Mold Inspection Sciences: Their traffic is up 80%, and 2026 is their best year ever.

@justin.jneville.co.ukNew blog post: small agency or large agency?
Clients often ask if they would be better off with a bigger agency. It is a fair question that rarely gets an honest answer, so I wrote one.
@owain.codesThis weekend - we have free UK shipping on any orders on the Umbraco Community Store.
Perfect chance to get some new Umbraco Swag in time for the Umbraco UK Conference.
