Drupal Europe Darmstadt 2018

By Milos Bovan on

Last year, Drupal Association has decided to take a break to consolidate and not organize an official DrupalCon Europe in 2018. Twelve community members stepped in and developed a plan to organize a DrupalCon replacement − named Drupal Europe. The final result was outstanding.

More than 1000 Drupalers from all over the world gathered in Darmstadt, Germany from 10th to 14th September 2018 to attend the yearly biggest European Drupal event. The new event brought a new concept. It featured 10 amazing tracks that guaranteed high-quality content for all of the Drupal target groups − developers, marketers and agencies. Additionally, it created more room for contribution and collaboration outside session slots.

We supported the event by giving three talks in two different tracks.

Miro Dietiker - Connecting media solutions beyond Drupal

On Tuesday, Miro Dietiker, founder of MD Systems, gave an interesting talk about integrating Digital Asset Management systems with Drupal. He compared the benefits of existing solutions and provided a practical guide what kind of solutions you could use to fulfill your media management needs.

On Wednesday, Miloš Bovan held a session about Paragraphs module and its best practices. The full room of people proves that people love and use Paragraphs a lot. The talk focused on answering frequently asked questions when it comes to working with Paragraphs. Those covered some of the new features that are not well known as well as ideas on how to improve the editorial experience easily.

Social activities

Besides sessions, contributions and coding we enjoyed attending social events as well. On Tuesday, the organizers brought participants to the Bavarian Beer Garden to taste traditional German bratwurst and beers. The place was located in the park and there was no chance to miss the great event. 


On Wednesday, we joined our fellow Drupalers from the Swiss community for a dinner. It is always nice to catch up with local people in an international event such as Drupal Europe.

As usual, the event came to an end with traditional and yet always exciting Trivia Night.

What’s next?

During Drupal Europe, the project founder, Dries Buytaert has announced that Drupal Association signed an agreement with Kuoni, an international company specialized in events organizations. This results in bringing the official DrupalCon Europe event back in 2019 and it is going to happen in the capital of The Netherlands − Amsterdam.

We hope to see you all there!
