EvolveDrupal is about strong communities
A 1-day summit where digital professionals come together to connect, learn, inspire, and build lasting impact.
What is EvolveDrupal
Now in its third year, EvolveDrupal has featured an impressive array of speakers: developers, designers, digital strategists, marketing directors, and even Drupal's founder. We've held successful summits in Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, Atlanta, and NYC.
Beyond its Drupal roots, EvolveDrupal centers topics such as open source, CMS, development, UX/UI design, digital communications, and business strategy. Connect, learn, and leave inspired!
We also offer discounted tickets to students, job seekers, and members of underrepresented groups.
