umBristol Talks - October 2026

Two technical talks for people who build on Umbraco CMS. Carl Sargunar on observability, using telemetry to catch problems before release and to give AI coding agents enough signal to test and diagnose their own work. Busra Sengul compares three approaches to search in Umbraco, putting Examine, Algolia and a custom Azure AI Search integration side by side with live demos. Hosted by the team at Manifesto at Runway East Bristol Bridge on Victoria Street, with Gibe Digital and Rock Solid Knowledge sponsoring. Doors at six, food and drink from 6:15, welcome and news at 6:30, talks from 6:45, finishing at nine. Organised by Nurhak K. and Cat T. Free, and food and drink are provided. Why go: Narrow by design, since this is a CMS-specific room, but the observability talk travels well beyond Umbraco, and it is a reliable way to meet the agencies doing .NET and content platform work in Bristol.
