Witness the First Drupal Higher-Ed Summit of Asia
Why is Drupal so popular among educational institutions? Drupal is used by hundreds of educational institutions around the world, including IIT Bombay, the university where we are hosting DrupalCon Asia. Did you know that 71 of the top 100 universities like Harvard, Duke, MIT, UPenn, Princeton, UC Berkeley, Stanford, and McGill use Drupal to run their web infrastructure? There are many more such facts we will be sharing at Higher Education summit at DrupalCon.
On Thursday, February 18th, come and learn about how adopting Drupal can address the key pain points that come along with managing and maintaining complex sites with hundreds of different "contributors" from various departments and schools. Managing a university's entire web presence, maintaining and implementing a current content strategy, and keeping compliant with campus-wide standards and accessibility guidelines isn't easy. We will also cover how adopting Drupal for student can open a window to endless career opportunities.
This is your opportunity to share your Drupal expertise with your peers from other universities, as well as see how your higher-ed colleagues are leveraging Drupal to streamline business processes, engage the public, and much more. Come and see the efforts universities have made to develop and share Drupal infrastructure campus-wide and beyond. The Higher-Ed Summit will provide with great opportunities to learn, share and network. It is a full day summit where a number of presentations, case studies. lightning talks, group breakouts. Attendees will walk away from this summit with a whole new toolset they can use to build Drupal websites for higher education, and closer ties that can help you innovate and problem solve in the academic context.
