Work about Drupal events so farDrupal Global Sprint Weekend happened at the end of this

week almost all over the worldWe have made a list for you, where you were able to

attend itWe have also analysed Drupal Camps on 

all continents last year and presented you the reasons why you should attend DrupalCons

All together with user group meetups, they form Drupal events

But why is organizing and attending them important?Here are the reasons

Business opportunitiesHave you ever been to any of the described Drupal events?If your answer is yes, then you'll already familiar with thingsBut since you probably did not take the full advantage of it, this will also help you, if you decide to visit them againOn the other hand, if your answer to the question is no, then you are missing quite a lot of thingsThe first one is definitely the opportunity to make business partnersAt Drupal events, there are a lot of Drupalistas, who professionally work with Drupal, so connecting with them can be beneficial for your business

Promotion, making friends ...The connection between people can go even further, so besides connecting on the professional level, you can even make friends at such eventsBut if you do neither of both things, there's nothing tragically about itJust showing, participating, discussing and listening (to presentations,) at the event can bring you more than you thinkAfter all, learning about new things and trying to optimize your work is also a purpose of such events

With people attending camps, sprints, meetups and Cons, they promote DrupalLatter experience a lot of competition, so every soul using this open source content-management framework matterSo, expanding Drupal Community is also one of the goals on such eventsBeginners or complete newcomers are welcome practically everywhere, meaning that there is never too late to start using DrupalNewcomers and other, even expert users of Drupal, will definitely improve their skills (in specific areas), so the evolution of Drupal continues every time Drupalistas meet

Spreading the positive things about Drupal events

All attendees will, eventually, after experiencing the event, spread the word around and perhaps share their thoughts on social media, which is another way of promoting DrupalBut more importantly, they will warn about problems – like in the case on Drupal Camp Munich –, discuss and try to resolve them, so that organizers of the upcoming events won't make the same mistakes and will easily offer something more to the visitors

Lastly, Drupal events can catch the eyes of other people working in technologyThat means that they can try to include Drupal in other events, like DevConf in Panama, and try to even connect it to other technologies, like in the case of The Internet of ThingsWe bet that there are also some positive things about Drupal events that we did not cover here, but we believe we covered the most important ones
