2026 Sessions/Trainings

This interactive half-day session introduces digital accessibility for teams new to the topic. Participants learn what accessibility is, why it’s legally required, current U.S. regulations and deadlines, and how to identify and fix barriers. Through hands-on activities – auditing web pages, rewriting content, and using tools – attendees gain practical skills to evaluate content, understand risks, and take immediate steps toward compliance.

In this session, we’ll dig into how accessibility debt shows up in Drupal projects and why it’s so easy to miss. We’ll look at the usual suspects across theming, content workflows, design systems, and day-to-day maintenance, along with ways to catch issues earlier without slowing everything down.

This session explores how AI can support digital accessibility and where it falls short. Learn to evaluate AI-generated fixes, compare tools, and understand key risks like overreliance and overlays. Emphasizing human review, participants will develop practical strategies and a 90-day action plan to responsibly integrate AI into accessibility work.

Drupal sites get complex over time, making it hard to track what's actually configured. This session introduces the Audit Export module, which inventories content types, fields, roles, menus, taxonomies, and views through admin UI reports. Learn to schedule audits, export to CSV, run Drush commands, and add custom reports. The Audit Export Tool submodule exposes audits via Drupal's Tool API to enable automation and AI integration (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude). Also available as a WordPress plugin. Basic Drupal familiarity recommended; no automation or AI experience needed.

In this session, we’ll walk through how to transition from a local command-line tool to an automated step inside a CI/CD workflow. I’ll show you how I built my first CI/CD pipeline and how I iteratively added QA checks that now run automatically on every commit.

Various examples of creating single directory components that are compatible with Drupal Canvas.

By default, Drupal instructs external caches (Varnish, CDN, browser, etc) to cache static assets, such as CSS, PDF, and JPG, for 1 year. Without a caching strategy for static assets, you're likely to experience some headaches with these files. In this session, we'll cover the Purge, Purge File, and Media Entity File Replace contrib modules, along with several others. We'll also dive into the Cache-Control header and how it can be leveraged to manage external caches.

Most organisations are not struggling because of people. They are struggling because of how they are designed.

This session explores how hidden cognitive friction in organisational systems reduces performance, slows teams down, and drives burnout. Framed through the lens of neurodiversity, it shows how the same design flaws that impact neurodivergent contributors ultimately affect everyone.

Attendees will learn how to identify friction in hiring, team operations, and leadership practices, and how to redesign systems to improve clarity, predictability, and psychological safety.

Open data sites are packed with useful information, but a lot of visitors never get past the search page. I've taken a different approach: pairing DKAN (the Drupal distribution for open data) with AI agents through the Model Context Protocol. This session walks through two Drupal modules I've developed. One turns any DKAN site into something an AI agent can explore. The other lets users ask questions in plain English and get back tables, Vega-Lite charts, and real answers. Expect live demos, a remote DKAN walkthrough, and an honest look at the tradeoffs.

Transforming your marketing practices into real business development activities. Learn how anyone can be comfortable doing business development and increase sales.

Learn to use a simple storytelling framework to make technical meetings and Drupal presentations clearer, faster, and more persuasive - without dumbing anything down.

A hands-on introduction to applying AI in Drupal using a structured, open source curriculum. This session shows how to move from experimentation to real workflows with practical examples, including content transformation, automation, and no-code solutions. Based on the Drupal AI Training 101 project (https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal_ai_train_101) open sourced by Matthew Saunders and Rod Martin, participants will learn a repeatable approach they can take back to their teams, along with open materials they can reuse, adapt, and extend for their own internal training and adoption efforts.

AI assistants can ship Drupal features fast — or wreck your config in minutes. This session shows how I use Claude Code on a 5,000-page NY Courts multisite to safely build content types, fields, Views, and features with guardrails: project skills, patch workflows, config capture branches, and PRD-driven planning. We'll also demo "Ralph," a fully autonomous loop where Claude picks up GitHub issues, implements, tests, and commits inside a Docker sandbox — and talk honestly about when to stay in the loop.

AI continues to transform what to expect from virtually everything, and your website is no different. In this session we’ll explore how new, agentic capabilities will allow even resource-constrained marketing teams to orchestrate omnichannel experiences like never before.

This is the talk that folks that haven't spent any time with AI, are just getting started, or folks that want to learn more / even more about how to do more with AI should go to. It can also be the talk for folks that looking for great use cases / examples for using AI + Drupal. While we will start at the very beginning and share tips on how to get started with AI, we'll end up with all kinds of great usage examples and things you can reuse to improve your daily work.

How to create custom view query and filter plugins to use Drupal Views to render remote API data.

Master your development sandbox! "Local like a yokel" shows you how to push your environment to its limits for $0. We’ll dive into Cloudflare SSH tunnels to share your work with the world and explore hosting OSS tools like Twenty CRM and ListMonk on your own hardware. Crucially, we’ll tackle the new frontier: sandbox AI. Learn to set up Ollama and integrate it with Dalia to revolutionize your Drupal development. This session is for developers who want to transform their workstation from a simple server into a powerhouse of automation and intelligence.

As a Drupal beginner, sometimes you just want to ask questions and you have a hard time finding the answers. In this session, we'll help you find the answers.

This session will be an open forum where anyone can ask anything about Drupal, Drupal CMS, Drupal 11, and even Drupal 12. No holds barred means that you can ask anything you want. As a group, we'll make sure we get the answers to the questions you're looking for.

An introduction to a selection of the Drupal AI-ecosystem modules.

In this beginner session, we're going to cover site building with Drupal CMS. We'll talk about how to install features, how to set up new ones, how to use Drupal AI, and how to use Drupal Canvas. Drupal CMS is evolving at an incredible pace, but we'll be using the latest version, all hosted for you at https://drupalforge.org.

You won't need any prior experience to take this class, but bringing a laptop isstrongly suggested if you want to follow along... This is a hands-on day.

Have you been writing JavaScript to do things on the web and wondered if there was a better way? Fear not, CSS and HTML are here to ease your JavaScript woes! I'll go over a few new and upcoming CSS and HTML attributes, elements, and APIs that eliminate the need for JavaScript, such as:

* The Invoker Commands API
* The Popover API
* Anchor positioning
* View transitions
* Scroll driven animations
* and more!

Learn how to use the newest HTML and CSS techniques to replace excessive JavaScript and improve performance using the latest web native technologies.

AI is already part of how work gets delivered.

It’s in the tools teams use, the platforms being recommended, and the solutions delivered to clients. In many cases, it has been introduced without a clear decision or a full understanding of the implications.

In Europe, that raises real concerns around data privacy and sovereignty.

This session looks at how AI is entering delivery workflows, how data is being handled, and where control is being lost or retained. It gives agency and business leaders a clearer view of what they are responsible for, and how to manage that more deliberately.
