We’re back from another successful Drupal NYC Camp!

A great event as always (thanks to Forest Mars and all the other volunteers and organizers that made the event possible), this year the event attracted more than 800 attendees and was held at a truly awesome venue: the United Nations.

Forum One’s presence this year was bigger than ever! Five of us attended, four of whom spoke at five different sessions covering a variety of topics:

• Keenan Holloway talked to a packed room with his tongue-twisting, alliteratively-titled session: Paraphrasing Panels, Panelizer and Panopoly;
• Chaz Chumley showed his extensive knowledge of the upcoming Drupal 8 Theming system – look for his book on the same topic later this year;
• Michaela Hackner joined forces with Chaz Chumley to highlight some of our recent work with the American Red Cross on the Global Disaster Preparedness Center in a session called Designing for Disasters: An Iterative Progression Towards a More Prepared World;
• and William Hurley (that’s me!) was honored to have the opportunity to talk about Building Interactive Web Applications with Drupal, as well as Developing Locally with Virtual Machines at the DevOps summit (this latter one, sadly, wasn’t recorded due to some technical difficulties). I was blown away by the attendance at both of my sessions and was honored to be able to share some of our challenges and solutions at each.

These camps aren’t solely about sessions, of course. While not all of us were able to stay the whole weekend, Kalpana Goel stayed through Monday to work on some of the Drupal 8 sprints that were going on.

We love the opportunity to give back to the community in as many ways as possible, in code contributions to Drupal 8, contributed modules and also attending and speaking whenever possible.

If you appreciate our expertise and would like us to speak at an event, drop us a line at marketing (at) forumone (dot) com and we’ll be happy to participate!

(And if you'd like to join our stellar team of experts, you should definitely apply to one of our open positions.)

Back from the Big Apple, we highlight our participation in the 2014 NYC Drupal Camp and share the recordings of the five sessions that our team rocked at the event, which was held at the United Nations building in New York City.
