Fresh on the heels of winning the Agency of the Year award at the recent Realex Web Awards 2016 and three other awards for Ireland.ie, we're now delighted to announce that one of our first Drupal 8 websites, Glanbia Nutritionals took home the Best in Business2Business award at the eir Spiders last night.

We've barely had a chance to catch our breath after winning the Agency of the Year award at the recent Realex Web Awards 2016 (and three other awards for Ireland.ie too!), and now we're thrilled to announce that we've also been shortlisted for Large Agency of the Year award at the this year's eir Spiders.

We knew Ireland.ie (built by Annertech on Drupal) was a special website. The design is beautiful thanks to the amazing work of BigO Media, the content, media, and experience is second to none thanks to the the team in the Ireland.ie office at the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht. The implementation is without flaw (if we say so ourselves!).

DrupalCon Dublin is just around the corner (since I live in Ireland, I mean that literally!). DRUPALCON: HEAR ME ROAR! (or at least speak, along with some other Annertechies). At DrupalCon we'll be speaking on a number of topics (interesting aside: we're the only Irish agency with any speakers at this year's DrupalCon). Here's a quick roundup of our talks and why you won't want to miss them:

Yesterday all the accepted sessions for DrupalCon Dublin were announced, and we are delighted to report that 5 of our 8 session proposals were accepted! With Acquia being the only company receiving more acceptances, we are extremely proud of our achievement.

Ever since Andrew joined Annertech, he's been a champion of accessible web design and has ensured that accessibility has remained a key focus area in everything we do. That combined with his dedication to open source and contributing back to the community, meant that we were not surprised when he was asked if he'd be interested in becoming a Drupal core accessibility maintainer.

The countdown to DrupalCon Dublin is fast reaching zero. With just over two months left to go, the call for session proposals closed last week, with speakers to find out in the coming weeks if their sessions have been accepted or not. This year Annertech has a record breaking 8 sessions proposed!

The ICAD awards were held earlier this month in Vicar Street in Dublin, and we're delighted to say that Ireland.ie took home the Silver Bell in the Website Design category.

Last month, not only did we announce that DrupalCon is coming to Dublin in 2016, but five more of our developers became Acquia-certified, myself included!

Céad míle fáilte go Baile Átha Cliath. DrupalCon is coming to Dublin. Yes, you read that right, DrupalCon 2016 will be in Dublin, and we at Annertech can't wait to see you there.
