Drupal Conferences, Past And Future

It's been a couple of weeks since Drupalcon Szeged, held in Szeged, Hungary, came to a close, and it's probably a good bet that many more people are interested in what happened than were able to attend. Fortunately, there are a few good ways to get caught up.For a quick summary of the highlights of the conference, check out Lullabot's podcast recap. Lullabot is an excellent Drupal resource in general, with a steady stream of helpful articles, as well as their interesting, Drupal-centric podcast. For fans of Drupal and content management systems in general, it's worth checking out.

For a more in-depth look at the conference, The official Drupalcon Szeged site is a great resource, with a rundown of all of the sessions, as well as videos and downloadable slides for many of the talks. It took a week or two for the bulk of the slides and videos to be posted, but most are now available on the site.

Of late, Drupalcon has been held twice a year, with a North American conference in the spring and a European event in the fall. The 2009 North American location and timing hasn't yet been announced, other than a notification on Drupal.org that it "will happen in the March/April time frame in the United States."

In other Drupal-related conference news, Lullabot is sponsoring, along with Acquia, Do It With Drupal, a 3-day seminar focused on the ins and outs of building sites with Drupal. The seminar will be held Dec. 10, 11, and 12, 2008, at the New Orleans Marriott Hotel.

According to the site, the Do It With Drupal seminar will feature the following:

- Examine and dissect successful Drupal sites - Discover new site-building strategies - Learn from Drupal's top developers - Hear from community-building experts - Connect with other Drupal professionals - Expand your Drupal knowledge
