DrupalCon 2023: Unveiling the Future of Drupal and the Open Web

Drupal NL recently shared an article titled "Annual DrupalCon dedicated to data ownership and the Open Web" by Michael Schmid, shedding light on the upcoming DrupalCon 2023. As one of the most highly anticipated events in the Drupal community, DrupalCon serves as the annual conference for all things Drupal. This year's edition is set to be an exceptional gathering of Drupal enthusiasts, professionals, and experts from around the world.

DrupalCon is renowned for its diverse and extensive program, offering over 100 workshops, presentations, and meetups, encompassing a wide array of topics. From technological advancements and digital business strategies to fostering innovation, DrupalCon covers it all. At the heart of this event is the opportunity to delve into Drupal's developments and its roadmap for the years to come, with none other than Drupal's founder and project leader, Dries Buytaert, taking the stage to present his insights.

The four-day event provides a unique platform for attendees to connect with Drupal experts, including those deeply involved in the ongoing development of Drupal. Notable keynote speakers for DrupalCon 2023 include KitKat, Jägermeister, and former RAF fighter pilot and performance expert, Sarah Furness.

One of the highlights of the event is the presentation of the Women in Drupal Award, recognizing the outstanding contributions of women in the Drupal community. And for those looking to unwind and test their knowledge, the regular Trivia Night pub quiz promises an enjoyable evening of friendly competition.

Beyond the extensive schedule of sessions and activities, DrupalCon upholds a strong commitment to the philosophy of the Open Web. Drupal's open-source development community, consisting of tens of thousands of developers and experts, works tirelessly to ensure that Drupal remains accessible to everyone, regardless of their background or abilities. The platform's inclusive and diverse nature aligns perfectly with the Open Web's core principle: that everyone should have equal access to the web, a commitment to accessibility that Drupal takes seriously.

Drupal's commitment extends to data privacy and security, solidifying its reputation as a trusted platform for websites and applications. With Drupal 10's recent release at the end of the previous year, attention has now shifted to Drupal 11, expected to be unveiled in 2024.
