MidCamp 2018 is the fifth annual Chicago-area event that brings together designers, developers, users, and evaluators of the open source Drupal content management software. Attendees come for four days of presentations, professional training, code sprints, and socials while brushing shoulders with Drupal service providers, hosting vendors, and other members of the broader web development community.
Organized by volunteers from the Midwest Drupal community, MidCamp features curated sessions and panel conversations by internationally-renowned web development and Drupal experts. MidCamp offers attendees the opportunity to increase their Drupal knowledge through networking, contribution sprints, training, and more.
Sponsoring MidCamp is a great way to promote your company, organization, or product and to show your support for Drupal and the Midwest’s Drupal community. It also is a great opportunity to connect with potential customers and recruit talent.
