It’s that time of year again: DrupalCon in the US! We’ll be headed to the great state of Texas – Austin, specifically – and we’re incredibly excited to get things rolling. Why? It’s the sharing of ideas, the culture, the community, and the fun – it’s like an enormous think-tank filled with like-minded, interesting individuals, from which new methods emerge and inspiration flows. Will you be there? Let us know via email or on Twitter, or in the comments.

We’ve set up shop at booth 215, across from the Drupal Association and the Commerce Village (and right near one of the main coffee stations, thankfully). We hope you stop by and say hello, grab a button and sticker, play a little Palantrivia while you sip on a coffee, and hang out with the Palantiri that will inevitably be congregating at our booth throughout the week.

If we don’t catch you on the show floor for some odd reason, we do hope to see you during post-con hours – like at Trivia Night, of which Palantir is a proud sponsor!

Of course, let’s not forget the point of DrupalCon: sharing and learning. To this end, we have 11 Palantiri headed to the Con this year, some of whom are leading sessions. Here’s who’s going, and a rundown of sessions of interest: Sean Buscay, Kelsey Bentham, George DeMet, Larry “Crell” Garfield, Tom Jones, Steve Persch, Ken Rickard, Shawn Smith, Andrea Soper, Ryan Wagner, and Chris Zietlow.
