Who is it for?
Managers/owners from any organization or business unit who's main activity is Drupal (more than 70% Drupal) freelancers and one man companies are very welcome. This meeting will focus on the specific issues and opportunities that Drupal decision makers face when setting the strategy for their company. We are limiting the amount of people per company to ensure an interactive meeting on which all participants can get to know all other participants.
Why should you attend
Become part of a European network of Drupal shops that want to work together
Learn and share best practices in Drupal business development
Create the framework for more intense collaboration with some of the key players in other European Drupal markets
Things we'll definitely discuss are
Drupal strategies for the future: staying relevant in a fast moving market
Dancing with elephants: how to collaborate/compete with the elephants
Scratching our itch: collaborating on tools that will help us generating value for our businesses
Meeting format
The Drupal executives meeting will take place in the Open Space format: there will be no slideshow presentations. We are doing this to encourage all participants to contribute to the discussions they take part in and to prevent anyone from monopolizing a topic. You can find more information about Open Space Technology on it's Wikipedia page. There is only one limitation this time: topics more appropriate for wider audiences should be saved for Thursday and Friday on Drupal Business Days.
Program
The event takes place on 25th of May 2011. With Open Space Technology there is no fixed program for the day. The day starts at 10:00 and ends at 17:00. There is also a networking dinner at 19:00. The venue is shared with Drupal Business Days.
