One of the key events in the Drupal community calendar is the annual DrupalCon. Historically, there is one event in North America and one in Europe each year, and more recently, there are events being arranged in South America and Asia.

The North American event attracts 3500-4000 delegates, and the European event attracts over 2000. These events are an opportunity for core and contributed module developers to meet and work together in person. The conference usually lasts a week with a day of training followed by 2 days of presentations in multiple topic tracks. After this, there are traditionally code sprints where community members work together on areas of interest improving the Drupal code base.

To fully understand the Drupal community, it is highly recommended to attend one of these conferences. Here, you will experience the passion and enthusiasm of the community, and if our experience is anything to go by, feel very welcome.
