Many nonprofits do a lot with a little. Drupal can be a powerful ally, but only when it’s implemented and maintained with the unique needs of mission-driven organizations in mind.
This session explores how developers can leverage Ollama to run open-source large language models (LLMs) locally and integrate them with Continue, an extension for both VSCode and JetBrains, to leverage those models for Drupal coding assistance.
Synopsis
Take control of your site translation. Using an open source project along with Drupal, you can self-manage your own live site translations without having to pay expensive monthly fees to a third party.
We've become so used to being online all the time and get stuck in the same ruts of web problems that we forget to take a step back and look at design in the world around us.
“AI codes instantly, flawlessly!”
“AI breaks everything, obviously!”
Whether you're an AI optimist, a pessimist, or somewhere in-between, there's no getting around it: if you aren't shipping AI-generated code yet, you will be. Are you and your team prepared for it?
For many organizations, accessibility is still largely about legal compliance - a checklist that's completed at the end of a project, or worse, avoided entirely by using an inadequate accessibility overlay.
As a Technical Account Manager at Acquia for 10 years, I analyzed hundreds of websites and helped dozens of customers improve the performance of their web applications.
Drupal theming has always been powerful, but modern frontend expectations demand new tools and workflows. Enter Vite and TailwindCSS: two technologies that dramatically improve speed, maintainability, and developer happiness.
Unleash the power of Project Browser: discover how its pluggable architecture enhances project discovery, then learn how to develop your own Source Plugins to tap into any data source—from Google Sheets to self-hosted Git servers.
This session will help developers learn how to reliable send emails from their Drupal site for things like transactional emails, password resets, confirmations, and newsletters.
This session will specifically cover:
“Shifting left” means integrating testing and quality checks from the very start of a project, rather than near the end. This approach helps detect issues sooner, reduces rework, and improves overall quality—an especially important factor in higher ed digital projects with multiple stakeholders.
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?

An exploration of curiosity – and its role in design
All our lives we hear the word in various forms – as an adjective, a noun, a verb. But what is it? Where does it come from? How does it grow?
Stay after the keynote for our group photo and/or head to Gaige 200 for a coffee break.
Many of us in the Drupal community enjoy coffee, and the Drupal Coffee Exchange is a way to celebrate the magic elixir many of us use to fuel our days. The Drupal Coffee Exchange allows community members to stay caffeinated and share their favorite coffees with other enthusiasts.
As the creator and maintainer of the Webform module for Drupal, it has been several years since I last gave a presentation on the Webform module at a DrupalCon or Drupal Camp.
You've built sites with Drupal and know that with a few dozen modules (and a ton of configuring), you can do nearly everything in modern Drupal. "There's a module for that" is one the sweetest sounds you can hear.
AI agents are changing how content is discovered, ranked, and represented — but the acronyms and buzzwords can feel overwhelming. In this session, we’ll break down the essential terms (SEO, GEO, accessibility, and more) and explain what they really mean for your digital strategy.
Single Directory Components have changed the way some Drupal sites are themed. Drupal Canvas (formerly Experience Builder) has the potential to change how some Drupal sites are built. What happens when both are available widely?
The effectiveness of AI coding agents has grown exponentially in the past year. Once a skeptic, I now rely on agent-driven development as a cornerstone of my daily workflow.
Security and privacy compliance certifications—like SOC 2 (a leading audit standard for security, availability, and confidentiality) and HITRUST (a healthcare-focused security framework) — are becoming requirements for healthcare, finance, and other high-trust industries.
Tooling fatigue in web development is real, and Drupal is not exempt from having its own version of this. Depending on the chosen tooling and approach, additional tooling may just end up adding overhead, cognitive load, and unnecessary effort.
Drupal’s theming layer has grown by leaps and bounds over the past several years. We’ve seen new Twig filters, theme generation tools, and the introduction of Single Directory Components.
After a long day of Drupal come relax with a drink and some great eats.
