Summits
What is a Summit?
A Summit is a one-day topic intensive meeting where people who share an industry or interest can come together to collaborate, share pain points and solutions, and meet like-minded individuals in a structured, safe environment. Summits are scheduled on Monday and Tuesday during DrupalCon. Summits require a separate registration that can be purchased independently or in conjunction with your Builder track ticket.
Summit registration is now closed.
