DrupalCon Portland 2022 connects a global community of developers, marketers and business leaders for four days of innovation, insights and collaboration.ĮPAM, a Premium Supporting Partner of the Drupal Association and exhibitor-level sponsor of DrupalCon Portland 2022, will be onsite and ready to share how we help leading brands around the world create next-generation digital experiences. We plan to implement a more responsive design in the future to better suit the needs of all of the different devices and one of the keynotes (on day 2 of the conference) addressed the idea of content for multiple devices and not just writing content with the idea of it being one page, but rather with the idea of it being a chunk of a page, somewhere on the screen.

We utilize it at the Libraries already, but at DrupalCon, they went more in-depth about panels and modules that help extend the panels module like Panopoly, layout extension and some others and then went on to discuss the possibility of panels being incorporated into the Drupal 8 core. Panels are a tool utilized to make the page different, allowing the absolute manipulation of the layout and what goes where. Some of the sessions I was extremely impressed with were the sessions focusing on Panels. The conference allowed 3000+ like-minded individuals to gather together and discuss the upcoming changes to Drupal as it moves from version 7 to version 8 and also a number of other interesting things on the horizon. People are able to develop and upload themes, child themes and modules to extend the already robust drupal system. Drupal is an open-source system maintained primarily by users of the system itself. What this means is that we use this CMS to allow users with no coding experience to upload content and contribute to the website. I was lucky enough to get to attend drupalcon Portland.įor some background, I want to start by letting you know that we use Drupal as our Content Management System (CMS) for the Libraries website. This year one event is in Prague (in September), another was in February in Australia and the other was at the end of May in Portland.

Often they hold one event in the US and another event or two abroad.
