This year's DrupalCon, in my home town of Dublin, was a brand new experience for me.

With over 2,000 people expected to be in Dublin for DrupalCon this week, it's likely that someone, somewhere is going to need some assistance.

Without doubt, the greatest resource for information about Drupal frontend issues is the DrupalTwig Slack. There are over 300 of the world's most well known frontend Drupal developers - Wim Leers, MortenDK, Mark Drummond, David Hernandez, and more - offering and receiving help all day every day. It's very rare that someone asks a question and doesn't receive a reply with a solution within a few minutes, or at the very least a conversation about why the issue might be hard to solve.

This day next week, as part of the Drupal Ireland Association, we will be delighted to welcome you to Dublin at the DrupalCon Welcome Party. It's on a boat, which is going to be deadly ("deadly" in this context means great, "lethal" would mean dodgy/dangerous!). The boat is just across the road from the convention centre, so that will be savage ("savage" of course means lots of fun).

Annertech will be descending upon DrupalCon with (nearly) our full team of "Annertechies". So much so that there will be more Annertechies in attendance than all other people from Irish agencies combined. With that kind of showing, we thought we'd introduce ourselves and let you get to know us.

DrupalCon is big. It's got hundreds of sessions. A similar amount of BoFs. Approximately 2,000 attendees. Social events left, right, and centre. It's not hard to get confused, miss things that you promised not to, and leave thinking "damn, I could have done that better". At Annertech, we're Ireland's most seasoned DrupalCon attendees. Here's our guide to making the most of it.

As Ireland's leading Drupal devlopment agency, we were thrilled that DrupalCon was coming to Dublin. So much so, we were the first Irish agency to add our name to the sponsorhip list (not to mention being the only Irish agency with people giving presenations at it). For the week of DrupalCon we'll be manning Booth 901.

DrupalCon is coming to Dublin next month. Damn, we're exicted. You are too, we know. Actually, apparently there's a small few people still trying to make up their minds on whether to come to DrupalCon Dublin or not.

Sitting on the fence? Don't. Get off the fence, get to Dublin. Here's some reasons why (feel free to add more in the comments).

With three months left to go before DrupalCon Dublin, event planning is in full swing. There's less than a week now to get your sessions submitted for DrupalCon, so it's time to get writing!

This is Alan, calling from the engine room! Were you affected by the Aberdeen Cloud incident that happened on the 28-06-2016? We weren't, but I'd call that partly luck and partly proactivity. We were actually prepared for this.
