DrupalCon Europe organizers are committed to making the event more sustainable and impactful.
Their goal is to drive sustainability efforts while creating lasting, positive change for the community, the event industry, and the planet.
Since DrupalCon Lille 2023, sustainability has been integrated from the very beginning of the planning process. Building on past successes and lessons learned, the organizers continue to embed green practices and initiatives into every aspect of the conference.
We serve plant-forward meals - vegan and pescetarian only - using local, seasonal ingredients to cut carbon impact.
No disposables are used, and safe leftovers are donated.
Dietary needs are respected and collected in advance to reduce waste.
We support attendee wellbeing with healthy food, free massages, and stress-reducing workshops.
Quiet zones and a relaxing area with light activities like table tennis offer space to recharge and reconnect throughout the event.
We choose energy-efficient venues, promote low-emission travel, and offset carbon where possible.
From digital-first logistics to eco-conscious suppliers and sponsors, we aim to reduce our footprint through intentional decisions.
We’re committed to a welcoming, inclusive DrupalCon.
We offer grants and scholarships to underrepresented groups, connect attendees through the Local Associations Stand and Newcomer Program, and celebrate diversity through safe spaces and initiatives like Women in Drupal.
Everyone can contribute - from first-timers to long-time community members - with mentoring, workshops, and dedicated contribution time.
We avoid single-use items, limit printed materials, and offer refill stations to cut waste.
Clear sorting stations help attendees recycle and compost properly.
Swag is minimal, useful, and sustainable — or skipped altogether.
We engage sponsors, attendees, and suppliers to join our sustainability goals.
From green stand options to train travel contests and local charity support, every group plays a role.
Internally, our teams align through training and shared responsibility.
