Do you have a favorite restaurant with a “secret” menu item? Well, DrupalCon has its own secret. And, I’m spilling the beans. If you ask any DrupalCon veteran, what the best thing about the events are, they’ll say, “The Hallway Track”. Huh?

What is the “Hallway Track”?

The “Hallway Track” is the space around and between official schedule items. This might be in the actual hallway, in the sponsor floor, at the parties, or even in a taxi ride to the airport.

DrupalCon Chicago 2026’s Trivia Night promises to be an unforgettable evening filled with fun, laughter, and the perfect opportunity to meet fascinating people. The event is being organized by a dedicated and diverse team eager to showcase the best of Chicago and welcome everyone into the fold.

"DrupalCon Chicago 2026, happening March 23–26 at the Hilton Chicago offers incredible value for web professionals and enthusiasts alike with professional training options, sector-focused summits, deep dive sessions and workshops, a full hands-on Drupal in a Day introduction seminar and contribution opportunities."

As the holiday season arrives, many in the Drupal community are beginning to slow down, reflect on the year gone by, and think ahead to what’s next. While this time of year often brings a welcome pause, it is also an ideal moment to plan for the opportunities that lie ahead in 2026. 

One important step worth taking before the year wraps up is registering for DrupalCon Chicago 2026.

DrupalCon Chicago is coming up March 23–26, 2026, and this year feels bigger, clearer, and more community-charged than ever. 

Every DrupalCon has its own rhythm, but Chicago 2026 already feels like it has momentum. Early bird tickets are currently open, the community is sketching t-shirt ideas, teams are planning their meetups, and first-time attendees are eyeing Drupal in a Day. It’s that stage where everything is still taking shape. And it’s the best time to get involved!

The Drupal Association is excited to announce that our t-shirt design contest will be returning for DrupalCon Chicago! 

We want to see the Drupal community's design ideas for the official t-shirt, available for all attendees to wear and enjoy. Do you have a fantastic idea in mind? Let’s see your creativity!

The winner will get THEIR design on the front of the official t-shirt for DrupalCon Chicago!
