A close-up view of a conference stage with a microphone in the foreground and the large “Camp Digital” logo projected on the wall behind. Two presenters stand on stage facing the audience, with vibrant blue and purple lighting illuminating the scene.

A large auditorium filled with attendees seated in tiered rows, watching a speaker on stage. The stage is lit with blue lighting, and a large screen displays a colourful abstract graphic. Multiple screens near the stage show supporting text, and the room features modern architectural details and high ceilings.

A wide view of a conference hall from the stage, showing a large seated audience across multiple rows. A presenter in a bright yellow top stands to the right, while a lectern with laptops and water glasses is positioned at the front. The room is lit with purple accent lighting and has a spacious, modern design.

👋 A little reminder that our #CampDigital early bird sale finishes this Friday! It's a really good discount on the regular ticket prices at just £195.00 per ticket, so well worth grabbing them before the 30th if you can!

Drop me a DM for group discounts if you're thinking of bringing a team of 5+

JTW Blogs - CodeCabin26 When I first learned about CodeCabin, I was intrigued by the idea of an "unconference" as CodeCabin is described. Don't get me wrong - I love a good tech conference and you can't beat Codegarden as far as conferences go, but one of the things I don't like about tech conferences is how exhausted and overwhelmed I feel afterward. Enter CodeCabin!

Jen shares her amazing journey with us about what takes someone from attending CODECABIN to taking the deep dive into organizing it for 2026.

Follow along with her experience, and don't forget to apply - the deadline is in only a few days!
