Drupal Powering Digital Ecosystems: Showcase your case study at the DrupalCon Europe 2026 Success Stories and Innovation track

As we look ahead to DrupalCon Europe 2026 in Rotterdam this October, we invite organizations, agencies, and digital leaders to submit their stories to the Success Stories & Innovation track.

This track showcases how Drupal is used today to power far more than websites. Across industries, Drupal enables organizations to build digital platforms, integrate complex systems, automate workflows, and create scalable ecosystems that support real business needs. From AI-driven personalization to DevOps automation and composable architectures, we want to highlight real-world projects that demonstrate how Drupal drives innovation.

In today’s fast-moving digital landscape, organizations must continuously evolve to stay competitive. Digital transformation is no longer just about launching a new website — it’s about building connected systems, automating processes, and delivering consistent experiences across multiple channels. Drupal plays a key role in this transformation as a flexible, secure, and extensible open-source platform that adapts to complex enterprise environments.

Why Drupal?

Drupal is not just a content management system. It is a powerful platform that can act as the backbone of digital ecosystems, integrating content, data, services, and applications into a unified experience.

Organizations use Drupal to power digital experience platforms, API-first architectures, multi-site environments, and enterprise integrations. Its flexibility, scalability, and strong security model make it a trusted choice for governments, universities, global companies, and nonprofits.

With the rapid growth of AI, automation, and composable architectures, Drupal continues to evolve. Teams are using Drupal together with modern DevOps pipelines, personalization engines, headless front-ends, and cloud platforms to create future-ready digital solutions.

Today, Drupal powers more than 1.6 million active sites worldwide and supports platforms used by governments, media companies, universities, healthcare providers, and global enterprises.

How organizations use Drupal for digital transformation

Drupal is used in a wide range of industries to power critical digital systems, large-scale platforms, and complex content environments. For many organizations, Drupal is not just a website CMS, but the foundation of a broader digital infrastructure.

Across sectors, Drupal supports platforms such as:

Government and public sector services
Secure, accessible, and compliant platforms used by citizens, agencies, and institutions.
Higher education and research ecosystems
Multi-site university platforms, student portals, research publishing, and internal collaboration systems.
Enterprise and corporate platforms
Global websites, intranets, partner portals, and multi-brand environments.
E-commerce and transactional systems
Commerce platforms connected to payment providers, product systems, and ERP integrations.
Healthcare and life sciences platforms
Secure, multilingual, and compliant solutions for hospitals, research organizations, and health agencies.
Media, publishing, and content-heavy platforms
High-traffic sites, editorial workflows, and multi-channel publishing systems.
Nonprofit and international organizations
Fundraising platforms, campaign sites, and global content networks.
Content hubs and API-driven platforms
Drupal as a central system connected to multiple front-ends, apps, and services.

In many of these environments, Drupal is part of a larger ecosystem that includes cloud infrastructure, external services, internal tools, and custom applications. We want to showcase how organizations are using Drupal in these real-world contexts.

DrupalCon Europe 2026 Rotterdam: Share your success story

Join us at DrupalCon Europe 2026 in Rotterdam this October and present your case study in the Success Stories & Innovation track.

This track is designed for organizations, agencies, digital managers, CTOs, CMOs, product owners, and business leaders who use Drupal to build impactful digital platforms and innovative solutions.

Our sessions are aimed at decision-makers and teams who want to understand how Drupal is used in real projects — not just as a CMS, but as part of larger digital ecosystems.

Whether you are building enterprise platforms, integrating AI, automating workflows, or connecting multiple systems, your experience can help others learn what is possible with Drupal.

What can you showcase?

For the Success Stories & Innovation track, we are especially looking for case studies that go deeper into how Drupal is used, how projects were built, and what makes them innovative.

We welcome submissions that explore themes such as:

Drupal as part of a larger ecosystem or platform architecture
Using Drupal beyond traditional websites
Composable, headless, or API-first implementations
Using AI in Drupal projects, including content automation, personalization, or intelligent search
DevOps, CI/CD, and automated deployment workflows
Integrations with CRM, ERP, marketing, or data platforms
Automation of editorial, content, or business processes
Managing multi-site, multi-brand, or multi-product platforms
Building long-term, scalable, and maintainable systems
Security, compliance, and accessibility at scale
Using Drupal as a content hub, data hub, or integration layer

We are particularly interested in stories that show how decisions were made, what challenges were solved, and what others can learn from the experience.

Tell us not only what you built, but why you built it that way.
