Where innovation meets collaboration

EvolveDrupal made its debut in May 2023 in Montreal, where it united professional communities in person for the first time in 2+ years. Since then, the summit has grown, spanning NYC, Atlanta, Toronto, and Ottawa. EvolveDrupal has solidified its reputation, attracting leaders from tech, government, higher education, and non-profit, and distinguished guests like Drupal’s founder Dries Buytaert.

Be a part of the extraordinary

This is a chance to come together. The summit owes a great deal of its success to incredible presenters and sponsors. If you are passionate about sharing your expertise or helping to build community and open source, we'd love to have you on board.
