Community Update - Splash Awards, DrupalSouth, Local Dev Survey
Mike Richardson from Ironstar will be running through a quick community update to talk about about the first ever DrupalSouth Splash Awards, what you can expect at this year's DrupalSouth in Wellington, and share some teasers from the world-wide Drupal Local Developer Survey.

First Presentation - The Road to Drupal 10 (GovCMS)
Alistair O’Neill from GovCMS will be walking through a demo of the current state of their Drupal 10 distribution. You’ll be able to see where it’s at it, what’s left to do and get a general vibe for progress with Drupal 10 if you haven’t yet tried something and want to hear about the joys and challenges.

Second Presentation - Enhance User Experience with Partially Decoupled Drupal Webforms
Brynn Briedis from Icon Agency will share with us a preview of his talk submission for DrupalSouth Wellington. Webforms are an essential part of many Drupal websites, and they play a critical role in facilitating user interactions. However, standard Drupal webforms can be limited in terms of flexibility and customisation, which can impact the user experience.

Partial decoupling is a technique that can help enhance the user experience by allowing more customisation of webforms. In this presentation, we will explore how partially decoupled Drupal webforms can improve user experience. We will start by discussing the basics of webforms and decoupling. Then, we will dive into the benefits of partial decoupling and how it can be used to enhance user experience. We will explore several examples of how partial decoupling can be used to create custom webform elements and improve the look and feel of webforms.
