🎄 A Festive CiviCRM Catch-Up in Birmingham
As the year drew to a close, we were delighted to bring the UK CiviCRM community together for a festive meetup in Birmingham on 9 December.
The meetup began in the best possible way, with dinner at a lovely local restaurant, giving everyone a relaxed opportunity to catch up, share experiences from the year, and enjoy some seasonal cheer. 🍽️✨
The following day, conversations continued with an open and wide-ranging discussion about the CiviCRM world — from current challenges and successes to ideas for strengthening and supporting the UK community.
Looking ahead, there was plenty of enthusiasm for future activities and events, including:
- A potential UK CiviCRM meetup in Manchester in late February 2026
- The idea of a one-day, user-focused CiviCamp, possibly hosted in Birmingham or London in May 2026
- More administration-focused training sessions, responding to ongoing demand from users
- And a potential end-of-year mini sprint, giving the community a chance to collaborate on practical improvements and shared goals
It’s encouraging to see so much energy and willingness to get involved as we look ahead to the coming year.
👉 For updates and further information, please keep an eye on the Mattermost site, under the UK Meetups channel.
Wishing everyone in the CiviCRM community a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year — we look forward to seeing you again soon!
