Drupal GovCon brings together people from all over the country who use, develop, design, and support the Drupal platform with a focus in government. Although there is a focus on government, there is also a heavy representation of attendees from the private, non-profit, and education sectors as well.

Drupal GovCon is the heartbeat of the DC Drupal community. We come together for three days every year, to learn, improve, and innovate as a community. Drupal GovCon will feature a full schedule of educational, contribution, and networking opportunities.

  • Sessions should share knowledge and enhance the community—rather than sell products or services.
  • Preference will be given to sessions that aren’t already available online.
  • We encourage longtime Drupal4Gov and Drupal GovCon presenters to lift as they climb by partnering with other community members and presenters to bring new speakers into the community.
  • To create well-rounded presentations with varied perspectives, we encourage session partnerships between service providers and clients and generally recommend that session presenters represent different organizations.
  • The number of presenters per session is limited. See information in the session types section below.
  • Presenters are required to read and adhere to the Drupal GovCon Code of Conduct. 
  • Please ensure that your session submissions are thorough, thought out and complete. Incomplete submissions will not be reviewed.
