This Summit will highlight the use of Drupal as a content service for other non-Drupal applications. We will share best practices in sessions, collaborate on shared difficult problems in discussions, and build open-source projects together.

Who should attend?

The Decoupled Summit is for developers, business decision makers, and anyone else who is interested in building API-driven Drupal experiences. We will feature industry leaders and core developers discussing their experiences building and maintaining a myriad of multi-channel platforms with Drupal at their center.

What will you get by attending?

Whether your organization already has decoupled sites in production, you’re interested in getting involved in some of the core initiatives, or your team is considering a decoupled build and looking for tips, the Decoupled Summit will be an excellent way to connect with peers heading down the same path and ensure you’re up to date on the latest best practices and potential pitfalls.
