LocalGov Drupal Connect - Newcastle
Come and connect with the LocalGov Drupal community in Newcastle.
We'll be hearing from councils involved in the project, taking a deep dive into functionality and solving problems together.
There will also be plenty of time to catch up with LocalGov Drupal Community members.
This event is for local government digital teams who want to learn how other councils use the LocalGov Drupal platform.
We welcome participants who are currently part of the community and those who are curious about LocalGov Drupal.
Thanks to Jordan from Newcastle City Council for helping to organise the event.
In advance of the event, we'd like participants to consider the following questions:
What challenges has the platform helped you overcome in your role?
What challenges are you still wrestling with?
