In truth most of us use a variety of techniques to be persuasive on a daily basis, that could be understood as “selling” our love for Drupal.

Integration of artificial intelligence functionality with Drupal has been on a blistering pace over the past year.

From countless individual contributed modules taking initial tentative steps to the rapidly-becoming-a-best-practice AI module ecosystem, the Drupal community has largely embraced the possibilities of leveraging AI on user, site-builder, and developer levels. This presentation will provide an overview of where we are, where we've been, and where we're heading with a focus on the AI module ecosystem as well as AI integration with Drupal CMS.

Drupal’s Event Platform is a community-built, open source solution for organizing and promoting a Drupal camp or similar community event. In this session we’ll discuss what inspired its creation, how it got started, and most importantly how it can help with your event. We will cover recent additions like:

In this session we’ll discuss what inspired its creation, how it got started, and most importantly how it can help with your event. We will also explore the roadmap for the Event Platform, and how the next major version will embrace recent Drupal features like recipes to be even more flexible.

One of the key elements of the Starshot Initiative (Drupal CMS) is the rapidly evolving system for Recipes. Designed to accelerate site-building, recipes will help people new to Drupal to solve for common needs, and for users of all skill levels to quickly build out content architectures using best practices.

Managing dates and times is often complex: recurring events, timezones, daylight savings times, regional formatting conventions, and more. Add in additional presentation requirements like add-to-calendar links, registration links, and related content (like agendas, that change for each date instance) and the complexity can seem bewildering.

Fortunately Drupal offers a rich toolset for solving these challenges. In this session we'll explore the solutions, not only showing how they work, but also detailing the modules and the configuration needed.

An overview of what recipes are and how they're used in Drupal CMS. Includes a live demo of installing Drupal CMS.

The code to use recipes has already been merged into Drupal 10.3, and will be a key feature in how we use Drupal 11, and the coming Starshot initiative.

But how will recipes make your life easier, building and managing Drupal websites? In this talk we'll explore exactly what a recipe is, how you can use them, and how you can make your own. We'll talk about the recipes already available, and how the recipes still being developed will play a central role in the future of Drupal.

Join us for an engaging panel discussion on the Drupal Starshot initiative, an ambitious project aimed at propelling Drupal into the next decade of innovation.
