Meet Conference+, a state-of-the-art Drupal 8 mega-theme for events
Designing a product that is aimed towards helping users build their site for a conference or event is no easy task. To make this really a great time-saver tailored to the use case scenario, several concepts need to be introduced and mapped into Content Types and Views pages or blocks, including but not limited to:
- Presenter/Speaker
- Program Entry
- Presentation
- Session within the event
and more.
And while the above are the main ones, there are even more concepts to be considered; some events provide merchandise of some sort, deal with accommodation and transfer for their attendees and feature sponsorships, and all events have a leadership and management team, which adds some more concepts (and content types) to our list:
- Sponsors
- Merchandise (products sold within the conference/event)
- Accommodation and Transfer Services
- Leadership and Management
Conference+ is our brand new Drupal 8 theme distribution for events and conferences and, guess what, includes all the above and much, much more.

Closing
Releasing Conference+ took a little longer than originally intended but it has so many new implementations that it’s sort-of laid the ground for an even greater feature set for our upcoming themes.
At the same time, while designing and building Conference+ we didn’t want to leave our users behind on the latest and greatest Drupal core updates, which is why we proceeded with releasing two massive updates to Drupal 8.4.x and 8.5.x for all our themes.
