Drupal AI Initiative

Enterprise AI is about cost management; Drupal's AI Summit shows community-driven acceleration. Drupal: the best CMS for the agentic web.

Attending a massive tech gathering like apidays New York 2026 provides a fascinating macro-lens view of where our industry is heading. With ten co-located conferences happening simultaneously, the event served as a perfect melting pot for the cross-pollination of ideas across different sectors of software architecture. Yet, while APIs served as the undeniable common thread weaving through nearly every presentation, stepping between the mainstream enterprise tracks and the co-located Drupal AI Summit felt like walking into two entirely different worlds.

The Enterprise Drupal Summit Europe 2026 will take place on 28 September 2026 in the SS Rotterdam.

We are now accepting session proposals.

If you’ve spent any time around Drupal lately, you’ve probably noticed that AI is everywhere — in the keynotes, in the hallway conversations, in the issue queues. You may also have noticed that everyone else seems to know what they're doing, while you're still trying to figure out where to start.

You are not. Not even close.

Those questions — what is actually going on, and where do I even start? — are exactly what the Drupal AI Learners Club was built for.

The Drupal AI Initiative marks its first year since the spark of conception at Drupal Developer Days in Leuven, having grown into the largest multi-company collaboration in Drupal community history. Launched officially in June 2025, the initiative has expanded to 34 partners, reached nearly 14,000 installs growing at approximately 260 sites per week, and secured $380,000 in cash alongside $1.5 million in in-kind contributions.

Delivery frameworks, funded roles across multiple organisations, and an active 2026 roadmap are all in place, while marketing efforts have raised Drupal's profile at major international events. As the community gathers in Athens, the focus turns to Rotterdam and the next phase of growth, with 12 additional partners targeted ahead of DrupalCon.
