Honoring DrupalCon Volunteers

Track Team - with two to three volunteers per track, this is the team that sets the tone of what content you will be hearing in sessions. They begin thinking about this at least 5 months before the Con and meet weekly to move the session content forward. Between writing track descriptions, reaching out to speakers to curate sessions, reading every single session submission, helping build the schedule and later acting as coaches for their speakers, this team signs up for a long and heavy time commitment and the fruits of their labor results in amazing sessions. In New Orleans we have 130 hand-selected sessions thanks to this dedicated team. Additional Selection Committees - we also call on the help and expertise of various other community volunteers in selecting more things related to DrupalCon. For the incredible training course proposals that we get, we have a team dedicated to selecting the 15 that should be offered. We also have a team tasked with the duty of reading each grant and scholarship application and making the difficult decisions about who is given an award to come to the DrupalCon.
