Drupal GovCon 2024
We’re excited to see everyone at this year’s Drupal GovCon in College Park! It’ll be a busy few days packed with learning, sharing, and socializing, so we wanted to share what Acquia has on the docket.
Our booth — conveniently situated beside the registration table — is a prime spot to chat with our experts, grab some swag, and, if you’re lucky, catch a glimpse of Sammy the Eagle hanging around!
We’re also throwing our annual GovCon Community Party on August 13! It’ll be at The Hall CP, where we’ll have food, drink, and friends all coming together to network and a chance to join in some friendly competition. There will be everything from cornhole to pickle ball to giant jenga and beyond! Grab a wristband at our booth or pre-register here!
Finally, Acquia’s very own Martin Anderson-Clutz will be delivering two presentations, the contents of which you’ll find below.

Agenda
Recipes: The Future of Drupal Site Building
Wed 8/14: 11:00 a.m. - 11:45 a.m.
Location: Orem Hall B
The code to use recipes has already been merged into Drupal 10.3, and will be a key feature in how we use Drupal 11 and the Starshot Initiative.
How will recipes make your life easier while building and managing Drupal websites? In this talk, we'll explore exactly what a recipe is, how you can use them, and how you can make your own.
We'll review the recipes already available, and how the recipes still being developed will play a central role in the future of Drupal.
Stupendous Date Tricks With Drupal
Thur 8/15: 11:00 a.m. - 11:45 am
Location: Orem Hall B
Managing dates and times is often complex with recurring events, time zones, daylight savings times, regional formatting conventions, and more. Add in additional presentation requirements like add-to-calendar links, registration links, and related content, and the complexity can seem bewildering.
Drupal offers a rich toolset for solving these challenges. In this session, we'll explore the solutions, not only showing how they work, but detailing the modules and configurations needed.
We'll take a fresh install of Drupal 11 and configure it to meet some advanced use cases in real time. Along the way, we'll use some readily available recipes and contrib modules that you can leverage in your own Drupal site.
