DrupalCons are a very important time of the year for the Drupal community. It is a time for us to come together and continue our collaboration that we share throughout the year in a virtual space and establish goals and plans to move forward in a way that is in the community’s best interest. It is also a time to take stock of our accomplishments, and who we are as a community. One of our favorite moments in DrupalCons is the group picture: it’s always amazing to see how the community stands together and continues to grow.

This year’s DrupalCon in Los Angeles is especially important to us because this is where we will unveil the name of the new Drupal agency that consists of the companies formerly known as Blink Reaction and Propeople. We have come together to create a new digital agency, the largest one in the world with a focus on Drupal, and we are very excited about what this means.

Our combined agency is part of the Intellecta Group (listed on the NASDAQ OMX) , and consists of 400+ employees in 19 offices in 11 countries on 4 continents. This is an amazing reach for an organization that is so passionate about Drupal! We’re excited for this unique opportunity to support the Drupal project and the community in ways that would have been impossible prior to the merger.

For example, we’re eager to begin promoting Drupal as a solution for the biggest enterprises on a global scale. Locally, we can influence awareness and excitement in our 19 local communities, helping the next generation find opportunity and excitement in Drupal.

We now have the ability to affect change in a multitude of cultures, in the many diverse communities where each of our offices are located. Where there aren’t yet camps, we can lead their initiation. Where there are Cons, we can help to inspire the next generation of Drupal leaders. We are committed to building up the next generation of talent via our orchestrated public and private training efforts, and look forward to beginning that work at DrupalCon Los Angeles.

So please, stop by booth 300 to say hello and learn more about the new company, and our future within the community. We look forward to seeing all of our friends in the Drupal community, old and new, and are even more excited to discuss how we’ll work with the community for many years to come.
