Ready for a truly technical deep-dive? At DrupalCon Vienna 2025, you’ll gain insights from cutting-edge sessions, hands-on workshops, and direct interaction with the maintainers shaping Drupal’s future. Here are the top five technical reasons you can’t miss this year:
1. Shape the Future with Drupal Canvas
Drupal Canvas debuts at DrupalCon Vienna with the session "Drupal Canvas Unleashed: The Future of Drupal is Here" by Lauri Timmanee and Bálint Kléri. This session unveils the production-ready Drupal Canvas and shows how it transforms Drupal site-building through a component-driven, in-browser development workflow. Learn how to:
- Kick-start new sites with faster, more collaborative builds
- Leverage UI-embedded code and reusable components for efficiency
- Incorporate existing modules into this modern architecture
2. Maximize Performance with DevOps and Network-Level Enhancements
Don’t miss "TCP Fast Open and HTTP/3: Network-Level Optimizations for Lightning-Fast Drupal" by Nicolas Perussel, where you'll dive into advanced networking techniques that can dramatically reduce latency and improve load times. Combine that with "Secure by Design: Integrating Security into Drupal Development" by Janna Malikova — learn how to bake essential security practices into every step of your build and deployment pipeline. This combo gives your projects real-world robustness and performance.
3. Explore AI-Powered Workflows and Multibrand Architecture
DrupalCon Vienna spotlights enterprise innovation through sessions like "Drupal AI – Strategy and Application" by Christoph Breidert and Frederik Wouters, and "Nestlé Nutrition Scalable Multibrand Design System on Drupal" by Olga Tsiamliak and Bastien Chanot. Get inside:

This immersive, practical environment helps you bring new skills directly into your projects.
