March 23–26, 2026 | Chicago, IL
Chicago isn't just hosting DrupalCon 2026—it's providing the stage where the Drupal community writes its next chapter. And that story starts with you.
Built by the Community, For the Community
The Call for Speakers is now open through September 26, and we're looking for the insights, innovations, and ideas that will define where Drupal heads next. Whether you've been quietly solving complex problems, pioneering new approaches, or helping teams achieve what they thought was impossible—Chicago wants to hear from you.
This isn't about perfect presentations or polished case studies. It's about real solutions, honest challenges, and the kind of practical wisdom that only comes from being in the trenches, building the web that billions of people rely on every day.
More Value, Better Experience
We've been listening. Based on your feedback, we're making changes that matter:
-
Early Bird registration opens September 15 at just $575—that's a $315 savings from last year
-
Enhanced sponsorship opportunities designed to create bigger impacts for both sponsors and attendees
-
Program improvements that reflect what you've told us makes DrupalCon most valuable
These aren't just cost adjustments—they're investments in making Chicago the most accessible, valuable DrupalCon yet.
The Windy City Advantage
Chicago brings together the best of American innovation with Midwest practicality. It's a city that understands hard work, values genuine connections, and isn't impressed by flash over substance—basically, it's the perfect host for a community built on open source principles.
Plus, Chicago's central location makes it accessible from anywhere in the Americas, while its world-class infrastructure ensures you can focus on what matters: learning, connecting, and pushing the boundaries of what's possible with Drupal.
Your Opportunity to Lead
Whether you're submitting a session proposal, planning to attend, or considering sponsorship, Chicago 2026 represents a chance to actively shape the future of digital experiences. This isn't just about consuming content—it's about creating the knowledge, connections, and innovations that will power the next phase of Drupal's evolution.
The web needs platforms that prioritize user freedom, developer flexibility, and organizational ambition. Chicago is where we prove that vision isn't just possible—it's inevitable.
