Your invited to our 4th annual DrupalCamp Chicago Saturday December 10th 2011.

Why DrupalCamp:
For more than five years the Chicago Drupal Meet Up Group has highlighted the benefits of an open source initiative. We have helped build bridges from nonprofits and entrepreneurs looking to deploy Drupal to resourceful Drupal development companies, independent consultants and hobbyists in the Chicago area and across the midwest.

The day-long DrupalCamp allows for a more intensive hands-on focus than the monthly evening Meet Ups, and while there are separate beginner and advanced Meetups, DrupalCamp brings everyone of all skill levels together for open communication, education, fun, and a relaxed forum for industry networking.

Not Just for Experts:
An attendee-driven format with advanced resources available makes this event unique. Multiple presentations will run simultaneously—geared to everyone from beginners to advanced developers. People of all skill levels are welcome, and laptops are encouraged.

Need help with a problem, looking for work, or looking to hire Drupal talent? Find someone with a solution at DrupalCamp Chicago. Seating is limited, so register now.

Migration?

sterndata's picture

During the CDMUG, there was a presentation listed for DrupalCamp on how to migrate a site from D6 to D7. Has that been scrubbed? If there's a voting process, I give that topic a +1 or, being Chicago, as many votes as necessary to put it on the schedule.

Sterndata, that presentation

Sterndata, that presentation was not selected. If you read the submission, it was more of a request - "Needs speakers". Schedule has already been confirmed with all presenters.
