Submission Guidelines

• Sessions should share knowledge and enhance the community—rather than sell products or services.
• Preference will be given to sessions that aren’t already available online.
• We encourage longtime DrupalCon facilitators and presenters to lift as they climb by partnering with other community members- new facilitators and presenters are welcome!
• To create well-rounded presentations with varied perspectives, we encourage session partnerships between service providers and clients and generally recommend that session facilitators and presenters represent different organizations.
• The number of facilitators and presenters per session is limited. See information in the session types section below.
• Manels (men-only panels) will not be accepted.
• Facilitators and presenters may submit no more than two session proposals.
• Accepted facilitators and presenters may participate in a maximum of two sessions, only one of which can be a solo session.
• Facilitators and presenters are required to read and adhere to the DrupalCon Code of Conduct.
