DrupalCon Rotterdam 2026 is behind us, and what a four days it has been!
A huge thank you to all our attendees, sponsors, volunteers, organizing teams, speakers, partners, and everyone who helped make DrupalCon Rotterdam possible. Together, we shared four inspiring days filled with insights, knowledge sharing, meaningful connections, networking, and plenty of Drupal celebrations.
The event may be over, but the memories live on. Revisit your favorite moments and share your own photos on the official DrupalCon Flickr account.
Replay the Driesnote
Dries Buytaert opened DrupalCon Rotterdam with a tour of a platform moving at remarkable speed. Multilingual sites that take a fraction of the effort to build. Components written in React. Headless delivery across five frameworks. AI assistants that connect directly to your content. A pipeline of innovation that has Europe's push for digital sovereignty looking closely at Drupal.
Then he named the problem: hardly anyone outside this community knows. The market's picture of Drupal runs years behind what the platform can do today.
Rotterdam has a saying: "Niet lullen maar poetsen." Stop talking, start working. Dries argued we have taken that advice almost too well, and he flipped it. The work is done. Now it's time to talk louder about what is working, and for the first time, that work earns contribution credit.
"Every year DrupalCon brings the best kind of magic — brilliant talks, big ideas, and the buzz of the Drupal community."

"What stood out at DrupalCon most was the spirit of collaboration. Yes, many attendees compete for clients and projects—but their shared love of Drupal, open source, and the open web comes first. It’s a community that builds together, improves together, and shows up together. That energy is contagious."
