The Importance of Drupal Events
Drupal Global Sprint Weekend happened more than a week ago almost all over the world, so we have made a list for you, where you were able attend it. We have also analysed Drupal Camps on all continents last year and presented you the reasons why you should attend DrupalCons. All together with user group meetups, they form Drupal events. But why is organizing and attending them important? Here are the reasons.
Have you ever been to any of the described Drupal events? If your answer is yes, then you’ll already familiar with things. But since you probably did not take the full advantage of it, this blog post will also help you, if you decide to visit them again. On the other hand, if your answer to the question is no, then you are missing quite a lot of things. The first one is definitely the opportunity to make business partners. At Drupal events, there are a lot of Drupalistas, who professionally work with Drupal, so connecting with them can be beneficial for your business.
Promotion, making friends …
The connection between people can go even further, so besides connecting on the professional level, you can even make friends at such events. But if you do neither of both things, there’s nothing tragically about it. Just showing, participating, discussing and listening (to presentations,) at the event can bring you more than you think. After all, learning about new things and trying to optimize your work is also a purpose of such events.
With people attending camps, sprints, meetups and Cons, they promote Drupal. Latter experience a lot of competition, so every soul using this open source content-management framework matter. So, expanding Drupal Community is also one of the goals on such events. Beginners or complete newcomers are welcome practically everywhere, meaning that there is never too late to start using Drupal. Newcomers and other, even expert users of Drupal, will definitely improve their skills (in specific areas), so the evolution of Drupal continues every time Drupalistas meet.
