'Local Association Stand' at DrupalCon Barcelona 2024

Local associations, Camps and Initiatives work together for the first 'Local Association Stand.'
Local Association Stand DrupalCon Barcelona 2024

Fifteen European local associations (and counting) came together to create the very first Drupal Local Association Stand at DrupalCon Europe! The stand will be a cosy place to come together, connect and discuss the many opportunities and difficulties they face in their respective regions. The stand aims to foster meaningful connections between the audience and local event organizers and associations. It also serves to solidify the bonds between the local leaders themselves.

The stand will feature a cosy seating area where visitors can lounge and engage in discussion with the local initiators.

DrupalCon Barcelona 2024 is filled with wonderful talks and BoFs to get engaged in the local community.
