How the Event Platform Module Simplified DrupalCamp Berlin 2024 Website Development

Staff Reporter

The Event Platform module has proven to be an effective tool for organizing events, as demonstrated by its use in the DrupalCamp Berlin 2024 website, developed by 1xINTERNET. Initially considering a standard Drupal installation, the team shifted to using the Event Platform after receiving a recommendation from Nico Grienauer of Drupal Austria, who had previously utilized it for DrupalDevDays Vienna 2023. The module provides a comprehensive structure for session management, speaker profiles, scheduling, and workflows, significantly reducing development time. Key features include a session schedule admin UI with drag-and-drop functionality, user roles for speakers and moderators, and customizable workflows.

While these capabilities streamlined the website's development, the team identified potential improvements for future versions, such as automated speaker confirmations, attendee accounts, and more flexible time slot management. The DrupalCamp Berlin 2024 event successfully brought together the Drupal community after a ten-year hiatus, with the Event Platform module playing a central role in its success.
