DrupalCon 2016: New Orleans

DrupalCon 2016 will be held in New Orleans this year from May 9th-13th. Bluespark will be attending in force with at least thirteen team members. We are looking forward to reconnecting with old friends and meeting new ones! We have a few different areas where we are contributing to the DrupalCon event, including our booth and lounge sponsorship and some talks we are giving. In addition to the more serious contributions, we have some fun up our sleeves this year!

The Booth

This year we have a booth close to one of the coffee spots, booth number 725. This year, we have a project planning booklet that we think will be both fun and helpful to fill out for people hoping to launch a project in the future, or revisit some of their initial assumptions when they built their site. We have a number of experts who will be available at our booth to discuss anything from project and business strategy and planning to usability strategy and user testing to Drupal 7 & 8 development.

The Voodoo Lounge

We are sponsoring a lounge this year, which is an area where anyone weary of the journey or excited about playing any the many games we will have available can camp out and rest their legs for a while. We have a whole contest built around a couple of the games there too, so it’s possible to win prizes while you’re having fun!

The Contest (and Prizes)

A couple of the games at The Voodoo Lounge will have contests you can enter which will make for some fun. One of the games has to do with creating funny newspaper headlines that will have everyone rolling. The other one has everyone building a creative machine. We’ll be offering a prize for the best contestant for each game on Tuesday-Thursday: a $100 Amazon gift card and a Bluespark shirt.
