And neither does seeing the city at the end of another great @drupalcon
The drop and the bean. Two magical destinations! Someone said, "Come for the code. Stay for the community," and it's so true!
Thank you to the organizers, sponsors, volunteers, speakers, and fellow attendees for an amazing event. You're all cool beans!
Safe travels and see you at the next event! π
That's a wrap on #DrupalConChicago 2026 π
Four incredible days. Three keynotes. 75+ sessions. Seven summits. A 25th anniversary gala. And a community that keeps showing up.
Thank you to everyone who attended, spoke, sponsored, volunteered, and contributed. You made this week what it was π
Congrats to April Sides for winning the Aaron Winborn Award, and huge thanks to Nathan Haas for the t-shirt design!

Don't disappear after Contribution Day β tonight we have Trivia Night π
Come unwind and test your #Drupal knowledge with lots of great prizes up for grabs.
The expo floor is quiet, but our brains are still buzzing! πβ¨
#DrupalConChicago was a masterclass in community + innovation. From deep-dives into Private AI to engraving hundreds of pet tags, we loved every second of the Windy City energy.
A massive thank you to the volunteers, organizers, and the amazing Drupal Community who make this ecosystem thrive.
Weβre looking forward to seeing everyone in Rotterdam this September and #DrupalConFlorida 2027.
Enjoy Contrib-Day & happy Drupaling! ππ§

Three days down, one to go.
Today we heard about the AI security implications none of us can ignore β and saw the future of Drupal CMS take shape on stage.
Tomorrow: Contribution day. The most important day of the week π

Day 3 at @drupalcon and the Kalamuna crew is still going strong. The gala was festive, the DriesNote was excellent, and @mikemccaffrey had a great session. More highlights to come!
In the meantime, weβre looking forward to more conversations, more community, and a few more close encounters with the Drupal Drop. No humans were harmed in the making of these photos. π
