A more advanced talk on creating an AI chatbot on a _headless_ Drupal site. I'll lead you through a hands-on exercise to build your own ecosystem.

Beyond the Site: Your Design System's Next Chapter

This session presents a strategic framework for making design system architecture decisions that will help you build the right system for your organization's unique needs. Through real-world examples and practical guidance, you'll learn to navigate common scenarios and recognize when standard approaches may not be enough.

Creating an AI Chatbot in Drupal: The Easy Way

In this presentation, I'll show you how to build your own AI chatbot in Drupal, which can answer questions based on your own website content. This is Retrieval Augmented Generation. By the time we're done, you'll have all the tools you need to build your own RAG. Even better, there's no coding required; you can build the whole thing using nothing but community-contributed modules. (Plus a couple API keys, and some fine tuning... but we'll get there!)

Get off your SASS (and use native CSS)

With the introduction of Single Directory Components and the ability to have CSS bound to a component, it is not as necessary to have your design system “built”.

Preparing your Pipeline for the AI Revolution

🚀 AI codes in seconds, but your testing pipeline wasn't built for that speed. Learn how to evolve your deployment strategy to match AI velocity without sacrificing quality. Essential for CTOs & engineering leaders navigating the AI development revolution.

Recipe Unpack: Leaving Drupal CMS Is What You're Supposed to Do

With the release of Drupal 11.2, the Recipes feature gets an important new capability. You can now "unpack" recipes after they are run so that your composer.json will have the direct dependencies from the recipe rather than a dependency on the recipe itself.

Secure but Accessible: Building Digital assets your users can actually use

Security and accessibility don’t always play nice, but they can.

Join us for a session at BADCamp that breaks down common barriers like CAPTCHAs, pop-ups, and gated content. Learn how assistive tech interacts with security features and explore open source solutions that are both secure and inclusive.

Simplify your deployments to any host with this one-size-fits-most GitHub Actions workflow

Managing Drupal sites across hosts like Pantheon, Acquia, and Platform.sh often requires separate CI/CD workflows—adding complexity and maintenance overhead. Attendees will leave with a ready-to-use template and practical strategies for customizing it, managing Drupal settings per environment, reducing rebuilds, and improving reliability through automation.
