In mid-November, Czechia hosted Orchard Harvest – an international conference for developers working with the Orchard Core system. Approximately 40 experts from more than 10 countries attended the two-day program from November 11 to 12. They discussed the latest developments and the future direction of the platform. PUX contributed to the organization of the event, and three of our experts also presented.

The event was organized according to plan. “We evaluate it positively. We established friendly relations with colleagues from the Hungarian company Lombiq, who co-organized the conference with us, and had the opportunity to inspire each other,” says Michal Kužela, BE Tech Lead of PUX.


On the Czech side, we secured the conference spaces in the center of Prague and also designed and produced the merchandise. “On-site, we mainly assisted with translations into Czech – some were glad to handle organizational matters with locals in their native language,” adds Michal.


The two-day conference offered a total of 13 presentations and a panel discussion with experts. “I was most intrigued by the contribution about the Aspire tool, which simplifies local development through automation and the use of Docker containers,” explains Kryštof Klaban, FE Tech Lead of PUX.  

It was also inspiring to share experiences in the area of UI. “We saw examples from two agencies that, like us, use a widget system – each in a slightly different way. I think we have plenty to draw inspiration from to make CMS Orchard even more user-friendly for our clients,” adds Kryštof. PUX developer Patrik Navrátil also positively evaluates the aspect of sharing. “It’s great that you can personally talk to people like Sébastien Ros, who developed a large part of the tools we work with,” he says.  

Three topics were offered directly by PUX developers. Michal shared useful tips for sending customer emails. Patrik explained how to import data from external sources using a custom module. And Kryštof demonstrated how to turn regular HTML forms into interactive widgets. “Preparing the presentation in English was significantly more challenging for me compared to the usual version in Czech. I typically present off the cuff, with minimal preparation. This time, however, I wrote a precise script that I followed. I felt a bit like I was presenting for the first time,” Kryštof says with a smile.

The largest participation in Prague was recorded by representatives from Great Britain and Hungary. In 2026, the community plans to move Orchard Harvest back to the USA (read about how PUX made an impression in Las Vegas in 2024). "In the future, the conference will likely alternate between Europe and the USA to allow communities from both continents to meet regularly," explains Kryštof.
