LocalGov Drupal Week 2025: Call for Session Proposals Now Open
LocalGov Drupal has announced that its third annual LocalGov Drupal Week will take place from November 17–21, 2025, featuring a week of virtual sessions dedicated to collaboration, best practices, and innovation within the local government digital community.
The annual event brings together digital teams from UK councils alongside certified suppliers and contributors to the LocalGov Drupal project. It offers a forum for sharing experiences, discussing common challenges, and exploring the open-source CMS that powers an increasing number of public sector websites.
LocalGov Drupal Week 2025 will include 45-minute interactive sessions designed to be engaging and concise, helping to reduce screen fatigue while promoting active discussion. Sessions will be hosted virtually across three daily time slots — 12:00–1:00 p.m., 1:00–2:00 p.m., and 4:00–5:00 p.m. — to accommodate council teams and participants across the UK.
The call for session proposals is now open. Interested councils, suppliers, and community members can submit ideas through a short online form, which takes around five minutes to complete. Organizers recommend reviewing the submission guidelines before applying. The deadline for proposals is Friday, 17 October, at 5:00 p.m.
Focus Areas and Participation Guidelines
Sessions can cover topics such as content design, accessibility, user experience, development, coding, or product strategy. Each presentation should share knowledge or showcase real-world projects that benefit the broader community. Sales-oriented or promotional sessions will not be accepted, and men-only panels are explicitly prohibited.
LocalGov Drupal encourages joint sessions that include at least one council representative and prioritizes new contributors and diverse voices. Facilitators and presenters are expected to adhere to the DrupalCon Code of Conduct and can participate in up to two sessions each.
