Speaker resources
Presentation templates
Speakers can download various formats of our branded slide decks, as well as the Drupal Europe font families (Nexa bold and Open Sans).
If you choose not to use the branded slides, we request that you include the following slides in your presentation:
- title slide
- speaker slide
- contribution day reminder slide
If you are speaking in one of the tracks with a sponsor (DevOps + Infrastructure, Digital Transformation + Enterprise, Drupal Technology, or Government), you are required to include the track sponsor slide.

Technical setup
Speakers are required to arrive at least 15 minutes early for setup. Speakers have access to the session rooms from prior to the first session of the day and also during the breaks. We encourage speakers wishing to present audio/video files or demos to store these files locally on your laptop, rather than relying on an internet connection, which can sometimes fail.
Break length before sessions are different based on time of day and type of session. The second 20 minute sessions after lunch only have 5 minute breaks before them for technical setup. All other sessions have at least 15 minute breaks before them.
