DrupalCon Vienna 2025: A Celebration of Open Source
DrupalCon isn’t just about attending, it’s about participating.
Open source is more than a licensing model, it’s a culture, a movement, and a global force driving innovation, collaboration, and inclusion. At DrupalCon Vienna 2025, this spirit takes center stage as we gather to celebrate not just Drupal, but the vibrant community and ecosystem that make it thrive.
Why Open Source Matters Now More Than Ever
In a digital world dominated by proprietary platforms and walled gardens, open source empowers organizations to build with freedom, transparency, and long-term sustainability. From local governments to multinational enterprises, Drupal is trusted because of its flexibility, security, and active community.
DrupalCon Vienna 2025 is your opportunity to see how open source continues to shape the future, not just of web development, but of digital transformation at large.
A Global Community, United in Purpose
One of the most powerful aspects of DrupalCon is the people it brings together. Developers, designers, marketers, strategists, and decision-makers from all corners of the world come to Vienna to:
- Share their knowledge and experience
- Collaborate on solutions to common challenges
- Celebrate their contributions and milestones
Expect contributions from leading open source advocates, inspiring stories from underrepresented communities, and honest conversations about the future of Drupal and open technology.
The Power Behind the Code
Open source isn’t just about using free software, it’s about building it together. DrupalCon Vienna will spotlight the often unsung heroes behind modules, patches, translations, documentation, and testing. These contributions are the backbone of the Drupal ecosystem.
Through contribution sprints, mentoring sessions, and initiative updates, attendees will get a front-row seat to Drupal’s continuous evolution and learn how to play a part. Whether you’re fixing bugs, writing new features, mentoring newcomers, or documenting, every contribution counts, and DrupalCon is where it all comes together.
Cross-Industry Innovation, Open by Design
Drupal’s open architecture enables seamless integration with cutting-edge tools from CRM platforms and marketing automation to AI personalization and multilingual content workflows.
