What’s the fastest way to understand Drupal AI and bring it into your DNA? Build things!
If you want to turn curiosity into capability, join us for “Play to Impact”, a two-day Drupal AI hackathon in Brussels on 27–28 January 2026. Hosted by the Drupal Community of Practice @ European Commission and EUIBAs, the event brings makers together to prototype practical solutions that help teams do more with less—without compromising trust, governance, or human judgment.
What you’ll work on
Across two distinct challenges, you’ll work hands-on with the Drupal AI ecosystem, including:
- Agentic AI automation tools that streamline everyday work for content editors
- The newly released Canvas page builder, plus its experimental Canvas AI features
Why this matters (and why now)
Drupal AI is moving quickly, and this is a chance to be part of that—not by watching, but by building alongside the people leading it.
Two days working together in person creates something different: you'll learn faster, make connections that last, and leave with something real you've made.
The European Commission is hosting because they believe this matters. We do too.
Who should attend
This is intentionally cross-functional. You’ll fit right in if you’re in:
- Marketing and digital teams focused on performance and content impact
- Content, UX, and brand teams improving journeys and accessibility
- Agencies, integrators, and Drupal practitioners building solutions for customers
You will be joined by many key members of the AI Initiative such as Freely Give’s AI experts, Marcus Johansson, the AI Initiative’s official tech lead and the head of innovation Jamie Abrahams.
How it works
Participants get access to a structured program that transitions into onsite collaboration at the European Commission premises in Brussels and culminates in team pitches to an expert jury.
Top teams receive recognition and visibility across the Drupal community—amplifying both their contributions and their career profile.
