Umbraco Spark 2026 — Conference Overview
Umbraco Spark is a one‑day developer‑centric innovation conference taking place on Friday, 20 March 2026 in Bristol, UK. It brings together Umbraco enthusiasts, developers, MVPs and community contributors for in‑depth technical talks, hands‑on demos and forward‑thinking sessions on the latest in the Umbraco CMS, .NET ecosystem and broader digital ecosystem.

BCI Keynote
Every B2B founder or sales leader hits the same wall eventually. In the early days, growth feels personal. You’re the one sending the emails, working the deals, closing on gut instinct and sheer willpower. But then the cracks show up. The pipeline swings from feast to famine. Your best salesperson leaves, and half your revenue walks out the door with them. Your marketing feels like random acts of hope. You’ve got tools, tactics, a CRM full of contacts. But no system. No engine. Just effort.
In this talk, we’re bringing together two frameworks he’s been refining for years. Demand That Scales and Systems That Sell, into one blueprint that will help you take control over the way you go to market. We’re going to cover the full journey. How to generate consistent, predictable demand using LinkedIn and email, without relying on referrals, random inbound, or hoping your content goes viral.
