DrupalCon Seattle 2019: Drupal Europe 2018 - our learnings from organising a large camp

This talk discusses the organization of Drupal Europe, an event initiated by a group of Drupal community members to address the absence of a DrupalCon in Europe in 2018. The speakers, who are among the main organizers, share insights on their collaborative approach, including weekly meetings and the formation of working groups to tackle various tasks. They detail the challenges faced while selecting a suitable venue that balanced quality and affordability, ultimately choosing Darmstadt for its accessibility and supportive local community. The session reflects on modifications made to the traditional DrupalCon format, what strategies proved effective, the obstacles encountered, and the key lessons learned from the event's execution.
