Joomla, WordPress and Drupal Conferences in 2013

conferences

Last year we wrote, “every year now brings us a major new Joomla, Drupal or WordPress conference”.

That has certainly been true over the last few years:

  • In 2010, the Joomla community created a European conference called JandBeyond.
  • In 2011, WordPress launched their first international conference called WordCamp San Francisco.
  • In 2012, Joomla debuted the Joomla World Conference in California.
  • Now, in 2013, DrupalCon arrived in Australia for the first time and WordPress will hold a major European event.

In total, the rest of this year will bring seven major Joomla, Drupal and WordPress conferences. We aim to send OSTraining team members to all of these events, and we’d love to meet you there. Whether it’s WordPress and Joomla in the Netherlands or Drupal and WordPress on the U.S. West Coast, there’s a lot of great opportunities for you to travel and learn.

Here, in chronological order, are the seven conferences:
