What is DrupalCon?

DrupalCon is a conference that is organized by the Drupal Association in various parts of the world. As the name suggests, it’s a conference about Drupal, the well-known open source content management system.

The Drupal community is pretty big and these events are usually well-attended with delegates from all over the world.

These events are about learning, about networking, and about contributing to the project. The formal sessions, the sidetrack activities, and the contribution sprints facilitate this and make DrupalCons worth attending.

Revamping DrupalCon in the APAC region

Typically, there’s a DrupalCon in the US, and one in Europe each year. Occasionally, DrupalCons get organized outside of the EU and the US:

• DrupalCon Sydney in Australia was organized in 2013
• DrupalCon Bogota in Colombia took place in 2015
• DrupalCon Mumbai in India happened in 2016

But on December 9th 2024, another Asian DrupalCon was organized in Singapore, 8 years after the Mumbai event. And of course, we were there to sponsor, to exhibit, and to present.

You can imagine that having an event like this in Singapore, is a major boost for the Drupal community in the APAC region, resulting in a lot of Indians, Australians, and South East Asians traveling to Singapore to participate.

We heard about it and we decided to get involved

As a Technical Evangelist, I engage with various communities, and I speak at conferences and meetups where I meet the people from those communities.
