Meetup 12/25: Display Builder with Pierre Dureau

11 December 2025, 6:30 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.

We have a very special meetup in store for us at the end of the year: Pierre Dureau, one of the key figures behind modern Drupal development, will be our surprise guest!

Pierre will give us an exclusive demo of the new Display Builder module: a universal, modern and design system-native solution for page building in Drupal.

Display Builder utilises numerous new core features, opening up new possibilities for developing modern, powerful and highly interactive user interfaces – for admin and front-end interfaces, without the need for JavaScript frameworks.

An important component of this is the integration of HTMX into Drupal. HTML over the wire, partial updates and server-driven interactions create lightweight, fast interfaces that can be ideally combined with Display Builder. Together, both technologies show where the Drupal ecosystem is heading in terms of UI architecture, interactivity and performance.

Display Builder offers, among other things:

• A unified environment for page layouts, entity displays, content and more.
• Full design system integration (components, icons, styles, tokens).
• Live previews, iterative updates and adaptive profiles.
• Real-time collaboration.
• Seamless use with HTMX for highly interactive UI patterns.

A glimpse into the future of theming and UX development – straight from the developer himself.
