Calling all Data Addicts! If you're like me you crave data, pure raw data that can be turned into information. At this Thursday's Town Hall meeting we're going to be taking a look at DrupalCon's attendance and trends that are emerging. Lizz Trudeau will start the meeting off with an overview of DrupalCon attendance starting with data from OSCMS in 2007 and up to DrupalCon London 2011. She'll present analysis about attendance and sponsorship, and answer any questions you have.

Key questions that she researched for the Drupal Community include: 

• Is DrupalCon attracting new people? 
• How often do people come back to DrupalCon?
• Does moving DrupalCon around bring new people to the conference?  

She will also give her thoughts about what the data is showing and what future DrupalCons might look like based on this data. If you're curious about the data behind DrupalCon come to this Town Hall meeting and learn more about your conference and how it is evolving and changing. 

After Lizz's presentation the Town Hall will be an open floor. If you have a question or a suggestion for the Association come and connect directly with your organization. Once a month we open our virtual doors and invite the community to come and learn more about your organization. As an ever growing and quickly expanding organization it is important for us to connect directly with the community.
