Dropsolid on events

DRUPALCON  EUROPE  December 8-11 2020

Drupalcon Europe 2020, "The result of an open conversation" took place digitally of course... But no worries! During the event we told them what will change for Drupal developers and the advantages of DXP.  But there was much more to be told. Because we were allowed to give 10 sessions during DrupalCon Europe about data ownership, DXP and building Customer Journeys with Drupal, Mautic and Unomi.

MAUTICON NOVEMBER 17 2020

MautiCon, the very first global conference for Mautic enthusiasts. We probably shouldn't tell you that this event was also 100% virtual. You know, 2020. Nevertheless, we can certainly speak of a very successful first edition. With no fewer than 51 speakers from the various corners of the world, there was a well-filled program ready. And thus also a great opportunity to bring together this worldwide community for the very first time.

DRUPALCON AMSTERDAM - 28-31 OCTOBER 28-31 2019

We were proud to be the only European Diamond Sponsor at DrupalCon 2019. With our presence, we also wanted to make a difference. So this is what we did: at our booth, all attendees could fill out a short questionnaire. For every participation, we donated 15 minutes of Core Contribution time to Drupal. And we are enthusiastic about the result: we donated 37 hours of development time to Drupal core!

With a large team of digital consultants and developers in Amsterdam, we had many conversations with different people in the Drupal community. We listened to their challenges and how they plan to tackle them. Our experts organized 4 sessions, each with their own expertise and background. All sessions ultimately contributed to building the ultimate digital experience.
