As AI reshapes how Drupal work gets done, how should certification evolve to keep proving real expertise?

AI is changing what it means to "know Drupal" from how developers write code to how site builders configure and launch sites. This BoF is an open conversation for anyone who cares about what professional credibility looks like next: certification holders, hiring managers, agency leads, trainers, and anyone curious about the topic.

We'll talk through questions like:

- Which skills should certifications still test as AI takes over more implementation work?
- Do we need new certification tracks (e.g., AI-assisted development, prompt/agent literacy for Drupal) or just updated versions of existing ones?
- How do employers and clients view certifications today, and is that changing?
- What would make a certification feel more valuable in an AI-heavy workflow, not less?

Bring your opinions, your war stories, and your open questions this is meant to be a conversation.

Who should join:
- Certified Drupal professionals
- Agency leads
- Hiring managers
- Trainers/educators
- Anyone building or hiring for Drupal roles
