Racing Ahead with Drupal: From Starting Line to Transformation

In endurance sports, success isn’t only defined by race-day performance—it’s about creating seamless digital experiences that support athletes from registration through results. As a global fitness brand scaling its marathons, triathlons, and cycling events worldwide, fragmented systems and outdated technology risked slowing growth and athlete engagement.

With just four months to replatform, the organization took on a high-stakes challenge: moving from a legacy Ruby on Rails system to Drupal 10 while unifying event management, commerce, and content into a single, athlete-centered ecosystem.

As a fitness domain specialist, I’ll share how deep knowledge of the industry—athlete expectations, event operations, and digital touchpoints—shaped the success of this transformation

Build It Right, Right From the Start

Anyone can be 'normal' online, but where does that leave our attitudes toward disabled people offline? In an era of digitalization, technology provides a way to innovate. Accessibility to the Web is essential to ensure equal access and equal opportunities for persons with disabilities.
Let us examine what tools they use. How does it look? How does it work? How to define digital web accessibility to understand the experience and use of technology among people with disabilities. An overview of basic concepts around accessibility, such as why digital inclusion is predominant.
For example, a video on a website has to be accessible to people who are blind. The video player should be controllable using a keyboard. Consider commands will be categorized correctly, and all the content in the video will be available as audio. But, if there are no subtitles or text transcription available, then the video will be inaccessible to someone who cannot hear the sound. Innovative products, applications, and websites are not easy to use and accessible to everyone. Several government agencies worldwide have made numerous legal changes to make IT products accessible to people with disabilities. Please join my session to understand the high-level introduction to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG).
Learning Objectives: Attendees will develop insight, empathy, understanding, and inspiration to prepare project strategy in new, more accessible ways.
* Accessibility considerations & inclusive design
* Why does accessibility matter?
* How do people with disabilities use the web?
* How will assistive technologies help them?
* Let's discuss the statistics, laws, and more!
