Drupal is popular in India in Tier - 1 cities like Mumbai, New Delhi and Bangalore while in other cities it is catching traction. Drupal Communities in these cities have 1000-3000 members while there is massive potential in Tier - 2, 3 cities like Chandigarh, Goa, Gurgaon, Kolkata, etc.
DrupalCamp Goa was first DrupalCamp of Goa. Goa being the city of a million people and has some of the premier colleges like IIT, NIT, BITS Pilani Goa, Goa University, we wanted to build an active Drupal Community.
With active support from professors of Goa University who are passionate about Emerging web technologies and Open Source, it became possible to reach out to college students who would be regular attendees and part of drupal community.
We wanted to organise a camp which would bring down Drupalers from different parts of India and together we would make it one of the most vibrant DrupalCamps ever while fostering the Local Drupal Goa Community.
Key highlights of the camp:
- 20 Sessions
- Attendees are coming from Goa, Pune, Hyderabad, Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Surat, Ahmedabad, Indore and other nearby cities.
- Participating attendees are from organisations such as TCS, Iksula, Srijan, Wipro, Persistent, QED42, Acquia, Valuebound, Unimity Solutions, Axelerant, etc and other 35 organisations.
- DrupalCamp Goa by 300 people in total ( both days )
Organisers and Volunteers:
- Gaurang Agrawal
- Piyush Jain, Vaibhav Jain, Ashish Dalvi,Suchitra Kumari (Big thanks for connecting us with key volunteers, collaborators and perpetual guidance)
Parth Gohil ( Big thanks to you for bringing Keynote Speaker aboard and perpetual guidance )

for amazing hard work while volunteering during execution of the camp.
Planning of DrupalCamp Goa started in October 2017 and execution of Key tasks like Web Development, Outreach to Attendees, Sponsors, Volunteers started in November. With less time in hand, days and night in planning and execution of tasks which used to be planned in the daily calls.
Interestingly, till a month prior to the event, we just had one sponsor but as the marketing campaigns intensified and a positive buzz was created around the DrupalCamp Goa on Social Media, people started having good expectation from the camp.
To make it more interesting for the attendees and to provide greater reasons to attend DrupalCamp, we introduced Full Day Drupal Workshop, workshop on Blockchain Technology and Data Visualisation Softwares and how Drupal can fit in those.
Our Keynote Speaker was Mr. Pankaj Verma, Enterprise Architecture at IBM Global Business practice. He delivered a session on “Emerging Technologies”. Parth Gohil facilitated the Session and ensured that Drupalers connects with the session well.
The 20 sessions were divided into following 6 tracks:
* Coding and Development
* Community & Business
* Site Building
* User Interface & User Experience Designs
* Symphony/ PHP
* Beyond Drupal
Organisations which came forward to support us as sponsors were: Drupal Association ( They boosted our confidence so much that it became possible for us to hold high hopes about the event ), Srijan Technologies ( for contributing a lot of volunteers resource time ), Persistent Systems ( Gold Sponsor ), UCM Foundation of India ( Gold Sponsor ) , QED42, Axelerant, Drupal Partners. Thank you for having faith in us and helping Drupal Community in flourishing.
