This episode of Talking Drupal features Martin Anderson-Clutz (Acquia) discussing the evolution of Drupal's Event Platform, originally built to streamline Drupal Camp websites. Recent enhancements include multi-event architecture, allowing organizers to manage multiple events in one site, and workflow automation that guides camps through common milestones such as session submissions, scheduling, and announcements. The platform now ships with its own companion theme, Event Horizon, designed for easy customization without coding.

The discussion also covered installation challenges with recipes, modular design, and upcoming priorities like native registration, better email handling, and automated social media images. The Module of the Week spotlighted ECA Tamper Integration, created by Jürgen Haas of LakeDrops. This contrib module integrates ECA with the Tamper ecosystem, enabling data transformations as both conditions and actions within ECA workflows. It supports Drupal 10.4 and 11, is security-covered, and is currently in use on 1,100+ sites. The latest release, 2.0.4, shipped on August 16, 2025, ensuring compatibility with Drupal 11.
