Agiledrop Highlights the Need for Stronger Attendance at Drupal Events

DrupalCon presentation
Bram Driesen

Ales, writing for Agiledrop, addresses the pressing need for well-attended Drupal events, emphasizing the importance of reversing the declining trend in attendance over the past decade. He argues that larger audiences at Drupal events foster a broader range of discussions, enhance networking opportunities, and attract more sponsors, speakers, and exhibitors. This helps strengthen the Drupal community, boost its visibility, and encourage innovation. 

Ales also highlights the need for Drupal events to balance educational content for the existing community with outreach to a broader audience interested in digital experiences, stressing the importance of making Drupal relevant beyond its current user base. While acknowledging the success of Drupal’s presence at Web Summit, Ales expressed concern about the platform's absence this year due to financial constraints.
