It’s that time of year again—DrupalCon North America is upon us and the Pantheon team is hard at work prepping our trademark thunder and lightning for Baltimore. This year we’ll be delivering 11 awesome sessions, a few hundred live demos, joining forces with Lullabot to throw a fabulous party, and of course getting face time with our agency partners, valued customers, and Power Users community. It’s going to be grand.
To make sure we get a chance to connect, you can schedule a meeting with our team ahead of time. Drop us a line—we’re always happy to build new relationships with folks in the Drupal community.
And even if we’re old friends, be sure to stop by our booth (#317) to check out what’s new, including a brand new set of (3!) T-shirt designs, printed in real time by our screenprinting wizards.
