If there’s a session, party, or workshop that you think should be included, let us know and we’ll add it to the list. In the meantime, here’s all the best Drupal things at SXSW this year.

Did you know that DrupalCon isn’t just for developers? The community survey we conducted at the end of 2014 turned up some interesting facts, including the fascinating statistic that only about half of DrupalCon attendees self-identify as developers. With project managers, C-level executives, and Drupal sales and marketing experts in attendance, DrupalCon is a great place to meet a wide array of passionate Drupal users and advocates.
