Decision Maker

Come see why Drupal is the best platform for building conference and event websites that meet the needs of attendees, event organizers and sponsors!

In this session we'll build a conference website from scratch that provides robust features including:

• Proposing and voting on sessions
• Setting a session schedule for the event and for each attendee
• Making it easy for attendees to register, pay and provide profile information
• Managing a waiting list of attendees
• Collecting and displaying sponsor information

Starting out as a simple iPhone app designed to demo the image recognition capabilities offered by LTU technologies, supported by Drupal, lookthatup took on a life of its own. Today, lookthatup is a mobile visual search solution that can be used to power all types of mobile marketing programs featuring visual search, whether it be mobile apps, email or MMS campaigns. If not for Drupal, this rapid transformation could not have been possible.

The Features module is mostly known for the possibility to share, distribute and re-use bundled sets of configuration. But how can it help you in the development of your next Drupal project?

For any kind of Drupal website, it happens very often that existing modules get you 90% of the way but you still need some customizations to get things looking and working exactly the way you want. Not a brand new module, just some site-specific adaptations that get you to 100% of what you want.

Wedful.com is a hosted web service for couples getting married. It allows users to easily create and manage their own wedding website .

Practical part:

The Page Syndication module has been used by a number of organizations like Hearst Media, the New England Patriots and Experian to distribute rich content to portals, fan sites and more. Learn how to use this Drupal module, in conjunction with Panels and CTools to create content that other sites can embed with a single line of JavaScript. Content can take the form of just about anything that can be put on a Panels pages, including polls, quizzes, forms or a calendar.

Bring in data from other sites—Wikipedia content, New York Times historical contnet, and much more—and expose your site’s information for others to reuse. With the Semantic Web, you can use the Web as your CMS.

In this session, we will demonstrate how you can use the power of the Semantic Web to expose your site’s information and reuse information from other sites. We will also provide links as we go along to screencasts we have produced to guide you step-by-step in setting up the modules.

Topics covered:
Getting your content ready for reuse using RDF UI and SPARQL Endpoint

Drupal is leading the way by being the first major CMS to embrace the Semantic Web technologies such as RDF. Restricted to the academic world for many years, these technologies have matured with time up to the point of being used by new standards like Facebook’s Open Graph protocol and major companies like Google, Yahoo!, New York Times, BBC, etc. Over the years, there has been multiple attempts to integrate RDF and Drupal with many contributed modules like Relationship, Semantic Search or FOAF.
