After many years of sponsoring and attending DrupalCon (formerly as FFW and now as JAKALA) this year’s event in Atlanta brought a refreshing energy that stood out, even among a long history of impressive conferences. DrupalCon 2025 not only kept pace with the high-level expertise and thought-provoking presentations we’ve come to expect, but also felt uniquely energized thanks to the venue, the community, and a future-facing focus that resonated with all attendees.
Our JAKALA team was proud to lead four impactful, featured presentations this year. These included two sessions and two lightning talks. From UX strategy to content consolidation, and sector-specific insights at the Higher Ed Summit, we focused on delivering practical takeaways, real-world case studies, and community-driven knowledge sharing.
This year was particularly exciting due to announcements and demos around Drupal Experience Builder, AI Workflows, Recipes, and Site Templates; new capabilities that generated palpable buzz throughout the conference. These innovations signal a future for Drupal that is not only technically robust but increasingly accessible, relevant, and aligned with real user needs.
