Event Details

Drupal is one of the most versatile and Free and Open Source Content Management Systems available now. Drupal became an enterprise-grade Content Management Framework with the launch of Drupal 8. In true sense, it’s equipped with all the necessary features needed for an enterprise. The long list of reputed organizations including Pfizer, Saint-Gobain, RedHat, MTV UK, University of Oxford, Harvard University, IIT Bombay, Government of India, Government of Australia, who use this CMS is proof of its capability.

The Drupal community is one of the largest open source communities in the world. There are more than 1,000,000 passionate developers, designers, trainers, strategists, coordinators, editors, and sponsors working together.
