Acquia shared a blog post by Greg O'Toole summarizing key events from Tuesday at DrupalCon Atlanta 2025, focusing on collaboration, learning, and innovation in the Drupal community. The day began with the presentation of the Aaron Winborn Award to Kristen Pol and included the highly anticipated Driesnote keynote by Dries Buytaert, highlighting updates on Drupal CMS, the Experience Builder, and AI integration.
Key developments included the launch of a desktop installer for Drupal CMS, a pre-beta demo of Experience Builder with low-code features, and new AI-powered capabilities such as AI Agents for site-building and content migration. Sessions covered diverse topics including documentation initiatives, CKEditor 5 enhancements, Recipes for simplified site building, and governance in multi-site operations. The blog also outlined the roadmap for Drupal CMS 2.0 and Experience Builder 1.0, both expected by DrupalCon Vienna in October 2025. Overall, the update reflected the Drupal community’s ongoing focus on improving usability, expanding AI integration, and supporting both developers and content creators through new tools and frameworks.
