News & Updates

DrupalCon is an incredible meeting place for community members from all over the globe. But it's not a free event. To make going to DrupalCon more affordable, the Drupal Association coordinates grants and scholarships. We dedicated $10,000 to helping people get to DrupalCon.

The grant and scholarship program helps community members with travel and ticket reimbursement awards. It's funded by ticket sales, membership funds, and the support of generous partners. This year, 108 people applied. Below are some interesting facts about them:

The Drupal community is an international one, full of incredible people with amazing stories. What better platform to share those stories than DrupalCon? That's why we're so excited to have the DrupalCon Community Keynote on 29 September. A member of our community will share something that can benefit each of us.

DrupalCon has a lot going on at all times — sessions, BoFs, summits, hallway track conversations, social events, exhibitor fun, and more.  We're putting together a photography team to help capture these awesome moments, and want YOU to help us out!  

In true Drupal fashion, we had a huge amount of proposals for DrupalCon Dublin on the last day to bring us to a record-breaking 621 session submissions.

The Core Conversations track is a place for sessions that spark discussion, open questions, and form the base for an ongoing development in the Drupal core space. We’d like to offer all accepted sessions some help facilitating or moderating discussion. The session could be a debate style panel, or a more traditional presentation.
