South by Southwest Interactive starts this Friday in Austin, Texas. The largest tech conference in the world wouldn’t be complete without Drupal, which is why we’ve assembled a guide to all things Drupal at this year’s SXSW.

If there’s a session, party, or workshop that you think should be included, let us know and we’ll add it to the list. In the meantime, here’s all the best Drupal things at SXSW this year.

Workshops:

Hands On: Inclusion, Accountability and Empowerment

This hands-on, two and a half hour long workshop will give you the tools to:

1. Develop strategies for building more inclusive, accountable and effective spaces — and be better at what you do.
2. Find ways to be an effective ally to those who are marginalized in your workplace, and build a more inclusive culture.
3. Find allies outside of your workplace if you can't find any within.

Large Drupal Projects

The goal of this workshop is to have the participants take away:

    What developer workflow (git, code review) techniques can make a larger project successful
    Techniques for coordinating teams that are geographical dispersed among different organizations
    What scaling and performance issues are more likely to arise in a larger project, and how to anticipate and plan for them
    Planning for a maintainable codebase
    What advanced project management issues might arise from a large Drupal project

Sessions:

Interconnected: The Future of the Experience Web

The first wave of the web was open: anyone could build a website and get found through search engines or social media. The second wave was mobile, leading entire nations to leapfrog the initial desktop -- and laptop-centric web. And we’ve just scratched the surface of the third wave: the experience web. It’s driven by internet-connected-everything, and it’s all around us. This third wave gives control to a few intermediaries -- particularly companies that own the entire experience. How can a local Indian restaurant deliver the right experience to a passenger in Google’s self-driving car? The key is mastering context and delivering personalized content to meet consumers where they are.

Dries Buytaert, creator of Drupal & Acquia co-founder, will discuss how we’ll interact with companies and each other in this freewheeling third wave of the experience web.
