Drupal on the Bayou will be held December 8-9, 2011 at Harrah's New Orleans
The first Drupal summit to incorporate technical sessions alongside interactive business and marketing workshops, Drupal on the Bayou will bring together developers, site designers, business owners, and corporate representatives. The groups will be able to share their experience and learn not only how to develop and implement a Drupal-based web presence using agile methodologies, but also how the powerful, free open source Drupal content management platform can help grow a business.
The Summit will be held December 8-9, 2011 at Harrah’s New Orleans. Registration is now open, with a 20 percent discount available for Early Bird registrations received by midnight on October 31.
The Drupal on the Bayou Smmit offers three tracks:
• Build, featuring Drupal experts conducting technical sessions on theming and site building aimed at developers;
• Design, covering user-friendly design elements beyond themes and code to enhance usability; and
• Business, including interactive panels and sessions ranging from project management and how to manage client expectations to real-world Drupal application success stories.
