For Marketers

Mini Summits are an opportunity to network with and learn from peers in your field who share the same interests, issues, and challenges. 

In lieu of the traditional full-day summits, DrupalCon Global will feature mini summits focused on highlights and innovations and will be integrated into the main conference program. Your ticket includes the opportunity to include as many of the mini-summits as your schedule allows. 

• Community Summit: Are you part of a Drupal community or want to start one in your city? Whether you need help maintaining a long-standing camp or User Group; you’re new to the community and want to know where you can get involved; or you want to share a success story from your community, all are welcome.

• Decoupled Summit: For those interested in building API-driven Drupal backed sites and applications to learn preferred practices, planning and implementation advice, and see case studies from existing sites. Sponsored by Pantheon, Srijan, Amazee Labs

Leslie will share how the leadership team of national thought leaders came together to create a digital brand solid enough for people to resonate with, but flexible enough to adjust to something as volatile as an election cycle.

• Drupal as a digital asset management system: See how the complex needs of galleries, libraries, archives, and museums are addressed in a digital asset platform now known as Islandora. 

• Inclusive content strategy: As content authors, this is to help ensure our readers feel that we're speaking with them, not at them. We’ll look beyond the semantic markup and structured content to see the strategic value of inclusive, well-written content.
