DrupalCamp Tokyo 2026 Publishes Programme Ahead of June Gathering

Organisers of DrupalCamp Tokyo 2026 have published the event programme for the community gathering scheduled for 27 June 2026 in Tokyo, providing the first detailed view of the sessions and speakers planned for the one-day event.

The event will take place at SCSK Corporation Toyosu Front in Toyosu, Tokyo. Organisers have adopted the theme "From Nara to Tokyo: Drupal enters its next phase" and describe the gathering as a forum for developers, site builders, agencies, educators, public-sector users, and community contributors to exchange knowledge and discuss Drupal's future in Japan.

The publication of the session schedule provides greater clarity about the event's direction. Earlier announcements outlined the venue, theme, and keynote speaker, but the newly released programme shows a strong emphasis on artificial intelligence, Drupal development workflows, community sustainability, security, and enterprise adoption.

The opening programme includes a video message from Drupal founder Dries Buytaert followed by a keynote session from James Abrahams, co-founder of FreelyGive and a maintainer of the Drupal AI module. James is expected to discuss the relationship between artificial intelligence and Drupal, continuing a theme that has become increasingly prominent across recent Drupal community events.

Several sessions address the impact of AI on content management and development practices. Topics include the future role of Drupal in an AI-driven publishing environment, prompt-oriented programming, AI-assisted theming workflows, autonomous AI platforms, and approaches to managing increased traffic from AI crawlers and search systems.

The programme also includes technical presentations covering HTMX support in Drupal, parallel development workflows using Git worktrees and DDEV, Drupal hosting platforms, web security practices, performance optimisation, and enterprise case studies. Community-focused sessions examine open-source sustainability and the evolving role of free and open-source software projects.

Beyond technical content, organisers continue to position DrupalCamp Tokyo as a community event intended to strengthen connections between Japanese and international Drupal participants. The schedule includes opportunities for networking throughout the day and concludes with a social gathering in the evening.

Participation is limited to 100 attendees. Conference registration is priced at ¥2,000, while combined conference and social gathering tickets cost ¥5,000. Student attendance is free with registration, and the first author of accepted presentations receives complimentary entry. Registration is available through the event's official registration platform.

DrupalCamp Tokyo 2026 joins a broader calendar of regional Drupal events and reflects ongoing efforts to expand collaboration within the Japanese Drupal community while connecting local discussions with developments taking place across the wider Drupal ecosystem. Additional event information is available on the official event website.
