Speakers Wanted!

We are looking for 1-2 speakers to come in and present formally on Drupal and tech-related topics. Please contact the organizers if you're interested in speaking at a future Dev Roundtable.

Lightning Talks

Attendees are encourage to present for 10 minutes on a topic of their choosing. Show off a recent project, get audience feedback for your next big idea, demo a cool new module, give a marketing case study or just talk about anything else Drupal related. No slides or presentation skills are required. Short yet informative talks are the goal.

Advanced Drupal Discussions

We encourage Drupalists of all levels to get together for open-ended discussions. Members are encouraged to bring their ideas, questions, and other anecdotes to the table. The meetup typically covers a myriad of advanced Drupal related topics during these informal "BoF" type sessions.
