For the first time at DrupalCon Europe, we are introducing Summits, focused high impact full day sessions designed to bring together specific industries, roles, or communities within the Drupal ecosystem.
Taking place on Monday, 28 September, as an add on to the main conference program, Summits provide a dedicated space to connect with peers, share strategies, and explore innovative solutions shaping the future of Drupal.
Local governments face shared digital challenges that differ from national government, from public websites to intranets, case management, complaints, and reporting systems. While initiatives like LocalGov Drupal highlight the value of collaboration, Drupal can support a much wider range of services across the sector.
A dedicated Local Government Summit creates a focused space to explore these common needs, share practical solutions, and connect organisations working on similar digital transformation challenges.
