EvolveDigital is about strong communities
This summit is where digital professionals come together to connect, learn, inspire, and build lasting impact over 1 or 2 days.

Now in its third year, EvolveDigital (formerly EvolveDrupal) has featured an impressive array of speakers: developers, designers, digital strategists, marketing directors, and even Drupal's founder. We've held successful summits in Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, Atlanta, Boston and NYC.
Beyond its Drupal roots, EvolveDigital centers topics such as open source, CMS, development, UX/UI design, marketing, digital communications, and business strategy. Connect, learn, and leave inspired!
We also offer discounted tickets to students, job seekers, and members of underrepresented groups.
