If you are involved in the Drupal community in any way, DrupalCon is a great way to become more connected. From the sessions and training opportunities to the community networking and sponsor parties, there are many ways to enjoy your experience at the event. In this blog, I’ll highlight my top 5 reasons for attending DrupalCon Pittsburgh in 2023!
1. The Experience
The DrupalCon experience is something that everyone who has gone to a DrupalCon knows well – a full week of excitement dedicated to Drupal and the Drupal Community. Connecting with the best and brightest minds in the community to talk shop, build friendships, and have a great time. Some key highlights of the event are:
- Driesnote!
- Community Summit!
- Sponsor Swag & Events!
- High Impact Contribution!
- Trivia Night!
2. The Community
After the last few years of lockdown, it is great to get out of the office and connect with a group of people that are passionate about Drupal. The opportunity to connect with others who share a common interest and meet many of the people behind the usernames of my favorite modules is an awesome break from the day to day.
3. The Learning Opportunities
The opportunities to learn at DrupalCon are far greater than any other venue available today. From the keynotes and sessions to the live training and contribution sprints, DrupalCon is the one place where you can break away from your current bubble and experience all that Drupal has to offer.
4. The Inspiration
Learning from others and seeing the impact that Drupal has in the world shows how innovative and talented the Drupal community is. Everyone attending the conference is focused and engaged on how to:
- Build the best content management systems
- Deliver the most innovative customer experience
- Master their craft
5. The Networking
Connecting with a group of people who are equally as passionate about Drupal, open-source, and delivering the best digital experiences in the world is not an opportunity that presents itself every day. Taking the opportunity to meet new people and build relationships can go a long way in your career.
There are so many reasons to attend DrupalCon Pittsburgh 2023, and I can’t wait! I look forward to the opportunity to connect with the community, hear about the amazing work that is happening with Drupal and enjoy time with friends and colleagues from all over the world who have been brought together by a common passion. I look forward to seeing you there!
