One click upgrade to Drupal 8 - how, why and when This year Drupal turns 17. For more than a decade, upgrading from one version of Drupal to another was a fairly major undertaking. Now, Drupal 8 has drastically improved the ease of upgrading, making the process a pleasant surprise! Looks like Drupal is getting out those teenage years and becoming a more mature entity. By the end of this session, you’ll know how to complete a content upgrade for your Drupal 7 or 6 website. We’ll demo the migration process step by step, including:
- Starting with an out of the box vanilla Drupal 8 site
- Connecting to the existing website that you’d like to upgrade
- The modules you’ll need for Drupal 8
- Blocks, Theme, and Views migrations
- Options available for moving content from other systems: Feeds (finally ready for Drupal 8), Migrate Plus and other plugins.
We will also discuss when the time is right to upgrade your site when you should migrate, and variations/combinations between the two.
Session Takeaway: How and when to upgrade your website to Drupal 8
Audience: This session is designed for site builders, content managers and strategists who are planning overall site development.

Any chance I could join remotely?
This is a great topic, I'd love to listen in, but won't be able to make it to the city that evening. Any chance you could let me join this remotely with Hangouts, Zoom or some such?

A comment from the sf-drupal #general Slack channel:
"we are going to see also about zoom-casting this as UCSF is totally dialed in for remote viewing"
So, maybe? i will let you know if I hear more :)
