AI is becoming an integral part of Drupal thanks to the AI Module and the sub-modules that can integrate with it.  From site building to content creation; from alt-tags to advanced search, AI is changing how we build and use our Drupal websites.

In this session we'll cover what you can do with AI in Drupal.  This is one of the most rapidly changing features in Drupal CMS and Drupal 11, but we'll make sure the session has the most up-to-date features available in the currently released version, including CKEditor integrations, Media integrations, building your own Agents in Drupal and more!

We'll also provide a series of videos on the most important features that you can use after the Camp.

DrupalForge.org is hands down the easiest way to quickly spin up a Drupal site for testing and trying out new features in Drupal - for FREE.

There are 14 (at the time I'm writing this) templates you can choose from - Drupal CMS, Drupal 11, a Drupal Camp template and even the DrupalHelps Starter Site featured in one of the sessions at last year's Camp!

We'll cover the benefits and features, along with demonstrating how to spin sites up and what you can do with them.  We'll also show you how to take a site with you!

Drupal’s Event Platform is a community-built, open source solution for organizing and promoting a Drupal camp or similar community event. In this session we’ll discuss what inspired its creation, how it got started, and most importantly how it can help with your event. We will cover recent additions like:

• A configurable theme that will let your site reflect your camp’s personality within minutes of installing your site
• A dedicated, built-in system to score and bulk moderate sessions
• Tools to bulk generate time slots and drag-and-drop to schedule accepted sessions
• A template on Drupal Forge you can use to spin up an Event Platform site in seconds
• An updated content architecture designed to let a single site host content for multiple events (e.g. many years of an annual camp)

We will also explore the roadmap for the Event Platform, and how the next major version will embrace recent Drupal features like recipes and site templates to be even more flexible.

We will cover the modular architecture, and how you could use specific parts of the Event Platform if that would better suit your needs. We will demo the initial setup, session selection and scheduling, and more.

You’ll learn about the current technical approach, and most important of all, how you can help!

Are you a front of the front end developer who focuses on CSS, semantic HTML, and presentational Javascript, and do you wonder if your skillset matters in the world of modern web development? Do you think about the best way to mark up an SVG to be as accessible as possible, and write Twig templates with (relative) ease? You’re not alone and your front of the front end development knowledge is still important today.

This session discusses why your front of the front end development skills are still relevant in today’s web development ecosystem, how to convince your team that a front of the front end developer is a valuable asset, and how front of the front and back of the front end developers can work together to develop powerful front end solutions in Drupal and beyond.

Let’s show the web development community that front of the front end developers contribute so much to a team!

As the digital landscape continues to evolve, the demand for fast, flexible, and intuitive site-building experiences is only growing. In this session, we’ll explore DXPR and the Experience Builder as powerful tools for reducing development overhead and empowering non-developers to create compelling Drupal experiences with ease.

Through some examples,  showcase how DXPR can streamline content creation, enhance collaboration between marketing and development teams, and accelerate time-to-launch—without compromising on flexibility or Drupal best practices.

We'll also look ahead at what these kinds of tools signal for the future of Drupal, and how adopting low-code or no-code methodologies can make the platform more accessible for site builders and marketers.

Takeaways:

• Understand the core features and advantages of DXPR and Experience Builder
• See practical demos of building pages and layouts with minimal custom code
• Learn how these tools can speed up delivery cycles and reduce reliance on developer resources
• Discuss the implications for the Drupal ecosystem and its long-term evolution

This session is perfect for site builders, marketers, developers, and decision-makers interested in making Drupal more agile and approachable.

There's a lot of resources out there on how to give a good conference presentation, but how many are actually geared towards putting you truly at ease with the process?  Come and learn about presenting from a web developer with over twenty years of presentation experience who is also a twenty-year veteran professional puppeteer, giving him unique insight into public speaking from the theatrical perspective as well.  Learn how to set yourself up for success by making yourself as comfortable as possible from the time you submit your proposal to the time you conclude your presentation.  Who knows?  Maybe next year you'll be the one at the podium!

This session is for anyone who's ever remotely thought about giving a presentation, yet has hesitated to do so.  However, even if you have a few presentations under your belt, you can learn how to improve your craft while reducing your anxiety.

In today's rapidly evolving work environment, successful teams embrace diversity in all its forms, especially neurodiversity. Neurodivergent individuals—those with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and other cognitive differences—bring unique perspectives, creativity, and problem-solving skills that can supercharge team performance.

This engaging talk will explore how neurodivergent team members enhance collaboration and innovation by leveraging their strengths. From heightened attention to detail to out-of-the-box thinking, neurodivergent minds offer invaluable assets that drive productivity and foster a culture of inclusion. Attendees will learn how to create environments that support all employees, encouraging each team member to contribute fully.

Drawing from personal experiences and research, we’ll dive into practical strategies for building neuro-inclusive teams and how embracing cognitive diversity can lead to better outcomes, greater empathy, and long-term success.
