Event recap

We are still riding the wave of excitement from the event. Another incredible EvolveDrupal summit and the second of many to be held in the U.S. Thank you New York City for your warm hospitality! It was an honor to welcome 150+ folks from the design, tech, and higher ed communities at Candid in the Financial District. Your energy, curiosity, and warmth helped us foster a welcoming environment bursting with innovation and collaboration.

EvolveDrupal is coming soon to other cities in Canada and the US. Sign up here to be the first to know when registration opens and to benefit from early bird discounts.
