Conference Presentations

Nathan walks us through why security doesn't have to mean trading time against deliverables.

Nick covered why performance testing belongs throughout delivery - not just at the end - and walks through how we approach it at PreviousNext.

Traditional Drupal theming fragments logic, markup and styling across the stack. The Pinto module, built by PreviousNext, takes a component-first approach using object-oriented patterns, props, slots and full type safety to make reusing design system components fast and predictable.

Michael walked the audience through what it actually means to build and use recipes and site templates in practice - how they're structured, how configuration and dependencies are packaged, and how they fit into modern Composer-based workflows. 

Keyword search struggles with natural language and exploratory questions. Daniel walked the DrupalSouth 2026 audience through how OpenSearch and Skpr enable semantic search that understands intent and meaning, and how Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) transforms results into clear, human-friendly answers grounded in your actual content.

Last week, the PreviousNext team headed over to Wellington for DrupalSouth 2026, and what a week it was.

I recently gave a talk at DrupalSouth Wellington 2026 covering something a lot of us in the Drupal community have been wrestling with: has the past couple of years been a market correction or something more fundamental? And more importantly - how can Drupal remain competitive in a CMS market that's changing quickly?
