DrupalCamps are community sharing + training events for Drupal enthusiasts and newbies alike. TexasCamp is an attendee-driven, completely volunteer initiative. Most of the content will be Drupal-specific, but there will also be presentations related to more general web technologies such as HTML5, JavaScript, and PHP.
TexasCamp is called a “camp” to emphasize the unconference style of the event. Unconferences are more casual than most conferences and are usually organized and attended by members of a local community. The name originates from BarCamp, a popular community-driven unconference. Please do not bring your tent :)
Our mission and purpose behind organizing a TexasCamp is as follows:
TexasCamp is a jam-packed learning experience to be held at Fort Work in Downtown Dallas on Saturday, April 1st-2nd, 2016. Registration will be from 8-9am CST, the camp will start at 9am and run until 5 pm, and the after-hours party on Saturday will begin at 6:00pm.
Based on attendance at past DrupalCamps in North Texas, we're expecting 150+ attendees.
Nope, everything is handled online. Show up with an ID, printed Eventbrite ticket, or ticket via the Eventbrite app.
We’ll send you a few emails leading up to the conference, but that’s it. When you sign in at TexasCamp, all you need to do is provide your registration information.
We currently only accept credit cards and payments through Eventbrite for ticket sales. If you're a sponsor, email our marketing team for more options!
Absolutely! We have a special Beginner track for those who are just familiarizing themselves with Drupal.
The deadline for submitting a session will be March 15, 2016. However, we would highly encourage you to submit your session as soon as possible to allow more time for commenting, and general interaction. The organizers will then finalize the schedule, contact the speakers selected to present, and post the final schedule on the website.
All audio / visual equipment will be provided – just bring your slide deck and laptop.
Contact us and we can help you transfer your ticket. Unfortunately, we don't offer refunds for tickets.
We recommend bringing a laptop and lots of business cards. Dress comfortably. We’ll provide a light breakfast, boxed lunch and afternoon snack!
Yes, there is plenty of parking available on the street and in lots and garages! Check out the Travel page for a list of suggested lots and garages.
We're glad you asked – we can use volunteer assistance to help with setting up sessions, picture taking, registration, etc. the day of the event. Please contact us and we will find something for you to do.
