Join the team

Drupal Europe is organized by volunteers from the community. This includes defining conference outline and workflows, fundraising, ticket sales, communication, developing the website and everything else needed to run a great event. The Drupal Europe team are experienced people in terms of organizing smaller and bigger events, evaluating session proposals and program setup, project management in distributed teams, marketing, website projects of course and much more. The most prominent difference to a DrupalCon is that there is no initial budget.

What do we get in return?

Easy answer: we get the major European Drupal event of the year. It's important for the whole Drupal ecosystem and that is the reason why many people dedicate a lot of effort. We are aware that these individuals and companys should get more visibility because they actually are the biggest sponsors.

Most of our volunteers have full time jobs and as much as they would love to, they can’t commit to organising the event full time. Our success so far has been many people picking up small tasks with the focus on great team work. To make our event even better, we would like more great individuals with a little time to spare to help in:

• Program team
• Marketing: Help make noise
• Contribution mentors
• Attendee care
• Speaker care
• Sponsor care
• Tech hands
• Local volunteers
• On-site info screens ...

If you are concerned about not having coding skills and want to contribute, don’t worry we have tasks for everyone. We need various skills such as:

• Communication skills
• Project management: analyze situations, find solutions
• Public relations/marketing
• Writing (blog posts, news on social media, workflows...)
• Proofreading
• Illustrating...

If you have some free time to spare and want to become part of the biggest Drupal conference in Europe this year, join us as a volunteer.

Promote Drupal Europe

Want to support but not prepared for a steady commitment? Please promote Drupal Europe on all occasions, for example at your local meetup. We have prepared a slide deck, you are welcome to use it. If you have questions about the slides, please contact people in the chat (see below).

Find sponsors

There are still sponsor packages available. You could talk to your employer, customers, meetup about sponsoring Drupal Europe. No problem if you are not the first one to address them, sometimes it needs several approaches ;-) Download the sponsor brochure and spread the word.
