About this event
Strapi 5 is a meaningful release for teams building modern content platforms, and this launch party is a chance to talk about it in the room with other people who care about how content systems actually get built. If you work in tech, product, digital, or delivery, this is a practical, social evening designed to help you understand what matters in the new release, meet the local community, and have sharper conversations than you would in a comment thread. About the Event This is an in-person launch party hosted by Notum Technologies to mark the release of Strapi 5. The focus is on community, conversation, and hands-on insight into what this launch means for people working with headless CMS platforms, digital products, and content-heavy systems. Rather than treating the release as just another announcement, the event creates space to unpack what has changed, why it matters, and how teams may want to think about adoption. You can expect a meetup-style format that blends product discussion, networking, and shared perspective from people who work close to the real implementation challenges. Because the event is in person, it is also about reconnecting with the community around the tools and workflows shaping modern web experiences. Whether you are already working with Strapi or simply paying attention to where content infrastructure is heading, the value comes from hearing how others are evaluating the same shift. What to Expect Expect an evening built around a launch moment, but grounded in practical discussion. The event will likely center on the themes behind Strapi 5, what stands out in the release, and what attendees should be paying attention to as they assess relevance for their own work. You can look forward to a mix of activities such as: A welcome and event kickoff from the host team Context around the Strapi 5 release and why it is worth attention now Informal discussion about use cases, implementation questions, and product implications Time to meet other developers, technical leads, product thinkers, and community members Open networking throughout the evening in a relaxed meetup setting This is not positioned as a formal conference or a dense training session. The energy is better suited to people who want substance without heavy ceremony: enough structure to make the event useful, and enough space for real conversation. If you usually get the most value from asking questions directly, comparing notes with peers, and hearing how others think about tooling decisions, the format should feel productive. It is designed to be approachable whether you arrive with detailed technical questions or broader curiosity about the ecosystem. Why Attend A product launch matters most when you can connect the announcement to your own work. This event gives you a more immediate way to do that by putting you in the same room as people who are actively thinking about architecture, content operations, developer experience, and digital delivery. Attending can help you: Get a clearer sense of what Strapi 5 may change for teams building with headless architecture Pressure-test your own assumptions through conversation with peers Discover how others are approaching content modeling, API-driven delivery, and CMS selection Build relationships with people in the local tech and digital community Stay current without having to sort through everything alone after the fact There is also simple value in being early to the conversation. Major platform releases often influence roadmap decisions, rebuild discussions, and future experimentation. Being present at the launch party gives you a faster read on the mood, the questions, and the opportunities emerging around the release. For community-minded attendees, the evening is equally useful as a chance to strengthen your network. Good meetups are not just about listening; they are about finding the people you may want to collaborate with later, learn from, or stay connected to as the ecosystem evolves. Practical Details The event takes place in person on Tuesday, October 1 at 6:30 PM GMT+2. That timing makes it well suited to an after-work crowd, with enough room for conversation, introductions, and a more relaxed pace than a daytime session. Because this is an in-person meetup, plan to come ready to talk, ask questions, and meet people. You do not need a perfect level of expertise to get value from the evening, but it will help to arrive with a sense of what you are curious about: the release itself, migration thinking, headless CMS strategy, or where the community is heading next. A few useful ways to prepare: Review your current CMS or content workflow challenges Think about the questions you would want to ask other teams using similar tools Be ready to introduce yourself and what kind of work you do Leave space in your evening for networking, not just the formal start time If Strapi 5 is on your radar, this is the kind of event where you can move from passive awareness to informed perspective. You will leave with a better sense of the release, stronger community connections, and more context for the decisions that follow.
Who should attend
This evening is for people who want more than a headline-level understanding of Strapi 5 and would rather discuss real implications with others in the room. - You are a **developer, engineer, or technical lead** interested in how Strapi 5 fits into modern web stacks, APIs, and content-driven applications. - You work in **product, digital, or delivery** and want a clearer view of how this release could affect platform decisions, roadmaps, or team workflows. - You are already using a **headless CMS** and want to compare notes with peers on architecture, content operations, and implementation tradeoffs. - You are part of the **local tech community** and enjoy meetups where the conversations are informed, practical, and easy to step into. - You are **curious about Strapi** even if you are not using it today, and you want context before investing more time in evaluating it. - You value **networking with substance** and want to meet people working on similar problems across engineering, content, and digital product teams.
