Staff Reporter

The EvolveDrupal Summit will take place on June 6, 2025, at the Microsoft New England Research and Development (NERD) Center, located at One Memorial Drive, Cambridge, Massachusetts. Co-organized with Pantheon, the summit is currently accepting session proposals, with the submission deadline set for May 7. Developers, designers, digital strategists, AI specialists, and technologists are encouraged to submit their ideas through evolvedrupal.com.

This eighth edition of EvolveDrupal will offer a full day of programming, featuring over 30 expert-led sessions across CMS platforms, digital communications, AI, UX/UI design, and web development. The UX/Creative track will address topics such as brand development in the age of AI, web accessibility, design systems, and usability testing. The technical track will include sessions not only on Drupal CMS but also on platforms such as Wordpress, Contentful, Webflow, Storybook, and decoupled solutions like Next.js within MACH architectures.

Confirmed speakers include Steve Persch, Director of Developer Relations at Pantheon; Michael Miles, Director of Web Development at MIT Sloan; Shawn Perritt, VP of Brand Strategy and Creative at Acquia; and Jim MacLeod, author of "The Visual Marketer". Speakers selected for the event receive free conference registration and access to pre-summit networking events.

Beyond full-length sessions, organizers are encouraging submissions for lightning talks on topics like prompt engineering, AI tool applications, and five-minute show-and-tell presentations for live UX feedback during the EvolveUX workshop. The agenda includes morning and afternoon sessions, a networking lunch, a closing reception, and an after-party beginning at 7:00 PM.

The venue is accessible by public transit via the Kendall/MIT stop on the Red Line, and onsite parking is available for $37 per day. Boston Logan International Airport is a 15-minute drive from the venue, making it accessible for out-of-town attendees.
