When it comes to migrating data from Drupal 6 and 7 to Drupal 8, or from a non-Drupal data source, you probably have lots of questions. How do I do it? I need to suck in this weird, cludgy piece of data from X data source. What is the best way to solve "my" problem, etc. This session will have a short introductory presentation over the topic of Migrate, followed by a lengthy open panel discussion to handle Q/A from the crowd. The panelists include 3 maintainers of the core and contrib migrate space, so between them you should walk away with your question(s) answered.

This session is for beginner-to-intermediate Drupal coders. You should be familiar with Drupal 8's migrate system and ideally have some prior experience with Migrate API (either the Drupal 7 contrib module, or the Drupal 8 core subsystem or D8 contrib data sources).
