It’s frustrating when your Drupal site isn’t performing the way it should — and that frustration often turns into real business impact. Your website should attract traffic, grow your audience, build trust, and convert visitors into customers. So when that’s not happening, the natural question is: what’s holding it back? Isn’t Drupal a powerful platform capable of delivering outstanding results? It absolutely is — when you tap into its strengths.
The countdown has begun! As we look forward to the highly anticipated DrupalCon Vienna 2025, it’s time to spotlight why this event is more than just a calendar highlight, it's an epicenter of open source innovation, community collaboration, and professional growth.
This blog kicks off a special series where I’ll be sharing insights, technical takeaways, and behind-the-scenes glimpses of what you can expect in Vienna this year. Whether you’re a developer, a technical architect, a site builder, or simply Drupal-curious, there’s something here for you.
In a rapidly evolving digital landscape, Drupal continues to stand strong as a powerful, scalable, and secure open source CMS trusted by governments, enterprises, NGOs, and universities worldwide. But what makes Drupal thrive is not just the code — it’s the community.
And DrupalCon is where that community comes to life.
In 2025, as AI, composable architectures, and privacy-first designs redefine the web, DrupalCon Vienna will serve as a timely intersection. A place to explore how Drupal is embracing these shifts and how you can leverage them for your projects.
