DrupalCon Chicago 2026

Meet us in the heart of Chicago

March 23–26 | Hilton Chicago

For 25 years, Drupal has powered the Open Web. This March, Pantheon will be on the ground all week in Chicago, investing in Drupal’s future and the builders leading it. Come meet the team, swap notes, and talk about where your Drupal work is headed next.

Why attend?

Drupal is more than software. It’s a global network of people who share knowledge freely, mentor generously, and show up to help each other solve hard problems. This year, in Chicago, you’ll find:

  • Professional trainings and industry summits to level up your skills.
  • Deep dive sessions and hands-on workshops that get practical fast.
  • Contribution opportunities that let you give back to the ecosystem you rely on.
  • Direct access to the people shaping Drupal’s roadmap.

And when the sessions wrap, you’re in one of the best cities in the world. Iconic architecture, neighborhood energy, incredible food, and Lake Michigan views.

Drupal's 25th anniversary

A milestone worth showing up for.

For 25 years, Drupal has powered governments, universities, nonprofits, publishers, and global brands. It has supported careers, agencies, contributors, and entire digital programs.

This year is a big moment to recognize what this community has built, but Chicago also marks a turning point: modern architecture, AI acceleration, composable front-ends, and a new generation of builders stepping forward.

We’re here to celebrate that momentum with you.

Next.js & AI features

The future of Drupal on Pantheon

Drupal is still the engine. But the experience layer is getting a massive upgrade.

With Next.js on Pantheon, your team gets modern front-end performance, server-side rendering, edge caching, instant page transitions, without sacrificing the content modeling, governance, and workflow capabilities that made you choose Drupal in the first place. And with our new AI-powered features, content teams can move faster while developers maintain full architectural control.

At our booth, you’ll see:

  • Next.js front ends running on Pantheon’s infrastructure with zero-config deploys
  • AI-assisted content workflows that accelerate editorial velocity
  • Composable architecture patterns for enterprise teams
  • Real-world performance benchmarks from production sites
