Join the Boston Drupal Group on May 3rd 2016 for a night of Drupal focused conversations, presentations and talks.

Call for Lightning Talks

This month we are again putting out a call for themed lightning talks. Volunteers get between 5 to 10 minutes to present a talk. We are looking for talks on the following topics:

Constant Learning with Drupal

As developers, designer, UX'ers and project managers we are constantly trying to learn new ways to work with our teams, clients, systems and tools. We use the knowledge gained from our previous experiences to build up and sharpen our toolsets and frameworks to deliver high quality projects. This month’s lighting talks topic is constant learning with Drupal and we’d love to hear about:

  • A mistake you've made on a Drupal project and the lessons you learned from it.
  • A new concept you've learned and how you applied it.
  • A new framework you've learned and the functionality it provided.
  • A misconception you made during a project and how you overcame it.
  • A new approach you tried and the impacts it had on your Drupal project.

If you have an idea for a lightning talk on one of these topics, sign up by leaving a comment below.

General Lightning Talks

Along with our themed presentations we will have a call for general lightning talks. This is an open floor to ask questions, present recent work or lead other Drupal discussions. No preparation is required.
