This is a list of past and upcoming Drupal events in the Asia-Pacific region: Drupal conferences, DrupalCamps, meetups, etc. This wiki page includes brief descriptions and links to more detailed information on each event, which is usually posted on the Drupal local groups. Updates are welcome.

There is some duplication between the intentions of this document and the Wiki of DrupalCamps in 2008 and 2009 and 2010 and beyond.

There is also a section on open source events that might be of interest for Drupal projects, or where Drupal could cooperate.

For frequent small Drupal events in a country or location -such as monthly meetups, etc.-, please include just those remarkable -especially the first one- in the chronological lists, and also a link in the Regular events to find the rest (that is, a link to the local group or section, or to a suitable search).

Please include all other less frequent and/or larger events -such as annual DrupalCamps, etc.- in the chronological lists (past events by year, and Upcoming events). Thank you!

Types of Drupal events are the following (those more organized are marked with Druplicons):

  • Informal gathering: Meetup, regular group meeting, drop-in...
  • Small event: Sprint, Drupal Day, presentations, workshop...
  • Medium event: DrupalCamp (country, region, state...)
  • Large event: DrupalCon (international conference)
