What is a DrupalCamp?
DrupalCamp Edinburgh is an unconference-style Drupal training and information event, presented in the form of a BarCamp. This generally means that a DrupalCamp brings together a lot of very smart people with the desire to share and learn.
In true BarCamp style, our sessions will be proposed by YOU. The schedule will be based on the sessions chosen by the people attending DrupalCamp Edinburgh. In other words, YOUR camp will be a day of great sessions chosen by YOU. We hope there will be something for all levels of experience with Drupal, from complete beginner and up.
Schedule
