Drupal DownUnder 2012 platinum sponsor

Following its headline sponsorship of the inaugural conference in Brisbane in January 2011, PreviousNext will be the sole platinum sponsor at the next event to be held in Melbourne on January 14-15, 2012. 

Drupal Downunder brings together the people who use, develop, design, and support the Drupal platform in Australia and New Zealand. More than just another industry event, it’s a shared experience that seeks to inspire and engage. Drupal Downunder Melbourne 2012 will feature sessions and panels from some of the most influential people and brightest minds within the local Drupal community. Opportunities for networking, code sprints and informal conversations in the 'hallway track' will round out the conference experience.

Drupal’s founder and project lead, Dries Buytaert, was at the Brisbane event, and is planning to return for the Melbourne conference alongside a stellar lineup of international keynote presenters. As Dries' said of Brisbane 2011: "A lot of people flew out from other parts of Australia and New Zealand to attend, so it was very much a national event. There was a great vibe that reminded me of early Drupal events. It is clear that Australians are passionate about Drupal, and that Drupal is getting a lot of traction... and there is no doubt that Drupal will see a lot of growth in Australia".

Details of the event will become available at http://2012.drupaldownunder.org in coming months, or keep up to date via the event's Twitter feed @DrupalDownunder.
