The Power of Drupal: Successful Online Strategies

Drupal Basics and Beyond

Drupal is free software that powers everything from personal blogs to the White House (http://www.whitehouse.gov/) website.

If you have a website powered by Drupal, are thinking of converting to Drupal, or if you need a new website and are thinking of using Drupal, come and learn what Drupal is capable of doing (social media, building communities, e-commerce, rich interactive sites, and more).

This program will have two parts: First a panel discussion covering the questions below. This will be followed by brief, interesting, non-technical deomonstrations of what's possible with Drupal, given by Drupal professionals -- with lots of time to ask questions and network.

Light fare will be provided.

Who should attend:

Nonprofits, businesses, entrepreneurs, and others thinking of using Drupal or currently using Drupal and wanting to learn how to take full advantage of its power Web designers and tech professional that want to start powering their sites with Drupal People who want to work with Drupal for fun or for profit Drupal professionals who would like to share their expertise
Some of the questions that will be covered:

Just what is Drupal and what is it capable of? How can I use Drupal to help my organization or business succeed? Is it really as amazing (or as terrible) as I’ve heard? What are the best modules (plugins) to power up a site? What does it take to administer a site or build a site? What are the best ways to learn Drupal? When should I use Wordpress or another solution instead? What are the real costs? What can I do myself and when do I need professional help? What’s new in Drupal 7. We want to thank Frank Taney at Buchanan, Ingersoll & Rooney for generously providing space for this program.

If you have any additional questions that you would like covered at the event, feel free to post them below.
