DrupalCampMontreal.com is now up and open for registrations to this year's Camp. Create your account now to propose sessions and BOFs. The success of the Camp depends on your participation, so please also sign up to volunteer and/or sponsor the Camp. You’ll find badges to spread the word about your attendance and sponsorship - show the Camp some love and post a badge on your site.
September is a beautiful time to visit Montreal - the trees are a medley of Fall colours, the weather is good (that doesn’t happen very often) and the living is easy. To take full advantage of this month, we’re holding both a code sprint and a camp between September 14th to 18th.
This year's Camp is taking place on September 16-18 at McGill University's McIntyre Medical Building. We’ll have 3 large rooms to accommodate over 150 people each, and 4 smaller rooms for break out sessions and BOFs. Sessions will be recorded, and we’re working on securing live translation for presentations in the larger rooms.
Planning for the Camp early meant that we were able to fit ourselves into the schedules of our very busy keynotes. We’re proud to have Angie (webchick) Byron and Jen Simmons present the keynotes.
Leading up to the event will be a 3 day multilingual code sprint led by Gabor Hojtsy on September 14-16. For this sprint we were able to secure a room at the Notman House, Montreal’s favourite tech space. Drupal multilingual experts from Europe will also be joining us at the sprint, so don’t miss out!
New this year will be training being offered on the Friday of the Camp. Evolving Web is partnering with Acquia to provide free training to beginners. Other local companies will offer training on more advanced topics as well. Check back on the website frequently for updates and specifics.
Registration for the Camp will cost between $20-30 at the door, depending on how much we raise through sponsorship. We will announce the final price closer to the date. Lunch will be included on Saturday and Sunday, and we’re finalizing venues for post-Camp festivities for Friday and Saturday.
This year’s event promises to be busy, fun and a great learning experience. Connect with old friends, make new ones, and contribute to Drupal this September 14-18th in Montreal. See you there!

We’ve already got some Ottawa folks signed up for the Camp, but we’d love to have everyone else come up too. We’re hoping to spread the word so that no one misses out and this is our most successful Camp to date.
