Building the Future of Open DXPs with Drupal

Drupal has always thrived on the principles of openness, flexibility, and collaboration. As digital experience platforms (DXPs) evolve, the community has an opportunity to shape how the next generation of open DXPs are built—leveraging the power of Drupal at their core.

In this session, we’ll explore the exciting possibilities of creating an extensible DXP layer on top of Drupal. This is an initiative involving multiple communities to connect tools like Drupal, Mautic, Unomi, and others into a seamless ecosystem that empowers users to manage content, customer data, and marketing automation through a unified interface.

We’ll discuss the architectural challenges and solutions involved in building a modular DXP that integrates multiple components, manages a unified data layer, focusing on community-driven innovation, open-source best practices, and the technical contributions that are pushing the boundaries of what Drupal can do. This session will also touch on how we envision this project benefiting the community, offering opportunities for partners and developers to contribute modules and extend its capabilities.

Without showcasing a finished product, we’ll lift the veil on some of the key concepts behind this open DXP and offer insights into how your organization can get involved. We’re not just building on Drupal we are building a DXP layer—we’re building a future where DXPs are more accessible, flexible, and community-driven than ever.

Lightening Talk: Drupal and Mautic brought together on the Dropsolid DXP

I feel the idea of open DXP, Drupal+Mautic is still early days and that the Drupal eco-system is still catching up on market trends. It seems the market is asking for a bike (the open DXP which is cms + marketing automation + data + AI is all included) and the Drupal ecosystem is still offering the best platform for an open DXP (ie the frame of the bike). For Drupal to stay relevant Drupal needs to sell it self together with other open source platforms like Mautic to stay relevant and respond correctly to market demands.

Target audience: business leaders in the Drupal ecosystem

Why Drupal is a Shark

The session has the same content as written in this blogpost: https://dropsolid.com/en/knowledge-hub/why-drupal-shark

Short:
Drupal is more like a shark than a dinosaur. Meaning Drupal has been able to adapt to every big change in web development. Just like the shark evolved through 400 million years of evolution and multiple extinction events, so did Drupal. It went through all the rapid changes in 20 years of web evolution. Unlike the dinosaurs, who went extinct 65 million years ago, Drupal adapted and stayed the top choice for open enterprise CMS, especially as the key component in the modern digital experience platform (DXP).

Its a tech + inspirational session.

This session is for everyone who wants to know how Drupal is adapting to new trends like DXP, microservices, Api-first, Cloud native and Headless. And how it will adapt to even newer trends in the future.
