Calling all Drupallers, it may be "Summer" in the Bay Area now (translation: 55 degrees and foggy), but we're dreaming of October - warm, golden sunshine, bay breezes, and of course, BADCamp! We hope you'll join us for the biggest and best free Drupal Event in the world this October 24-27, in and around the beautiful University of California at Berkeley campus. 

We're back with a great lineup of world-class Drupal summits, sprints, trainings, and sessions - and all we need is YOU! Session Submissions are now open, so get registered at http://2013.badcamp.net/about and then submit your session at http://2013.badcamp.net//node/add/session. 

Summits

Born at BADCamp and a fan favorite - Summits are back for TWO FULL DAYS with your favorites and some new faces. If you haven't attended one of these, think "Super-BOF" - everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know-but-were-afraid-to-ask for YOUR corner of Drupal. Covering eCommerce, Non-Profits, DevOps, UI/UX, Higher Ed, Mobile, and Product (plus the Core Developer Summit on Sunday), there really is something for everyone. Sign-up early, get involved, and get ready to meet your new Drupal Besties. 

Training classes

We're also thrilled to bring back FREE Drupal Training classes. Reserve your spot early to get your pick from our two days of world-class trainings from top experts. With excellent topics such as What's New in Drupal 8,  Drupal Performance and Scalability, and Level up your Themer, these will fill up quickly!
