Let's hear it for Drupal Camps

Bringing the local Drupal Camps into the ambit of DrupalCon, this year’s convention will witness the forces of this regional and global community joining hands together to make DrupalCon a success. 

The camps will benefit from increased visibility of the audience attending DrupalCon, so the participants can cherry-pick which Drupal Camps they want to travel to, next year when DrupalCon won't be virtual anymore. Furthermore, this year, DrupalJam has been made a part of DrupalCon, so the best minds of the industry will share their insights right in DrupalCon itself. 

Here is a list of all the Drupal Camps:

  • Drupaljam, The Netherlands 
  • Drupal Mountain Camp, Switzerland 
  • Drupal Germany
  • DrupalCamp Kyiv 
  • DrupalCamp Finland 
  • DrupalCamp Belgium - Ghent 2021
