Drupal Community Events: Organize Locally, Contribute Globally

Gathering our friends, colleagues, and community members together for collaborative learning experiences has been one of the primary ways of growing the Drupal Community throughout our 20 years. Organizers have been working together more closely over the past few years to make it easier for us all to keep events of all sizes moving.

Now, you too can know what we know. We’ll discuss some key resources that can help you help the community grow:

- The Drupal Event Platform helps organizers build an event website out of the box, because a Drupal site shouldn’t be the hardest part of a Drupal event.

- The Drupal.org Community Events listing is the place to share your Drupal event with the world, and you can help us make it better!

- The Planning Drupal Events Contributor Guide is a treasure trove of playbooks and guidance to help at every stage of the event process.

- The Contribution Events Initiative supports promoting and organizing contribution events worldwide and crediting all involved.

Drupal Community Events: How we've weathered the storm and what's on the other side?

Gathering our friends, colleagues, and community members together for collaborative learning experiences has been one of the primary ways of growing the Drupal Community throughout our 20 years. The pandemic took a toll on these volunteer-led events, but we've learned and grown through it all. Our panel of Event Organizer Working Group founding members and other community organizers will review some of the highlights and some of the learning opportunities. Most importantly we'll discuss the ever-evolving road ahead.
