Government Summit

Access the Summit

If you purchased a ticket for DrupalCon, the password was included in the email, "DrupalCon North America: Nonprofit and Government Summits" sent on Monday, 26 April. 

If you don't have a ticket, but would like to attend, there's still time! Register for the summit now for only $125USD. 

 

 

Are you a federal, state, or local government employee? A private sector employee supporting government? If so, then this summit is for you! 

Meet Drupalers from all different skill levels, beginner through expert, in a variety of roles--site builders, developers, themers, project managers, support specialists, etc. If you are running up against a challenge or obstacle getting something approved or completing a task, there’s a good chance others are too, and can offer advice or act as a sounding board to discuss potential solutions! Let’s meet up and share our collective expertise! We will kick-off with a panel discussion, made up of your colleagues from all levels of government and then we will dive-in to a variety of topics by way of a mix of lightning talks, round table discussions/BoFs, and a case study or two!

We want to hear from you! Please take a few minutes and help support the Summit leads by providing feedback on what you would like to see included in the Summit program. 

 


Who should attend?

Anyone who is working for or with the government, whether federal, state or local. We want to see you there!


What will you get by attending? 

By attending Gov Summit, you will learn how other agencies and governments are handling issues, as well as making new connections across governments.
