Next week I’m off to Denver for DrupalCon 2012. Since DrupalCon 2008 (which was in Boston) I’ve done both SXSW and DrupalCon each year, but that was proving to be a bit of an overload, so this year I’ve dialed back, skipped SXSW, and chose DrupalCon instead. I’ve found it consistently more useful.
I’ll be attending the Drupal in Education Unconference Monday, and then the main conference Tue-Thurs. (See my schedule of sessions).
I’m most looking forward to:
- Jay Batson’s talk on Web Experience Management in Drupal
- The session on Organic Groups 7 (though it conflicts with a good session on responsive design as well)
- The Drupal Ladder – an outgrowth of an initiative in the Boston Drupal Group I’ve participated in
- The Open Academy presentation – A Drupal Product for Departmental Websites
- Designing for Content Management Systems
Though like all good open source conferences there are many time blocks where there are 5 or 6 sessions I’d like to attend.
It will also be my first year at DrupalCon as an official CMS Myth Mythbuster – looking forward to bringing some Drupal community perspective to myths about CMS.
