Drupal Silver Jubilee Anniversary Kolkata 2026

Celebrating 25 Years of Drupal: Innovation, Community, and the Future of Open Source
Join us for a milestone celebration exploring the next frontier of web development, from open source roots to AI-driven horizons.

From a dorm room project to a global digital experience platform—Drupal turns 25!

25 years of innovation have led us here: a platform that is stronger, flexible, and more relevant than ever. To celebrate this historic milestone, we are hosting a special meetup that honors the past while looking firmly toward the future of open source and Drupal’s role in it.

This isn't just a birthday party; it is a gathering of minds. As we celebrate 25 years of community and code, we are diving deep into the technology defining the next decade: Artificial Intelligence.

Join us for an evening of networking, celebration, and deep-dive technical sessions focusing on Browser AI, AI testing, and AI Agents within the Drupal ecosystem.

Session Details

1. Browser AI: A Deep Dive

Speaker: Souvik Banerjee

As the web evolves, the browser is becoming a powerful environment for intelligent processing. Souvik will take us on a journey through the architecture of modern web applications to answer the critical questions: Where does AI live?
Architectural Insight: Understanding the placement of AI in modern web stacks.
Design Strategy: How to architect and design for AI-native experiences.
Dev Workflow: What actually changes in your day-to-day development lifecycle?

2. Playwright MCP: AI-Driven Test Automation

Speaker: Priyansu Bhattacharya

Test automation is evolving from scripted checks to intelligent verification. In this session, Priyanshu introduces "Playwright MCP", a method for turning AI intelligence into reliable, safe, and structured automation action.
Controlled Automation: Moving beyond flaky tests to controlled, AI-powered validation.
Reliability: How to ensure AI-driven browser automation remains deterministic and robust.
Safety First: Exploring the intersection where AI meets safe execution protocols.

3. AI Agents in Drupal

Speaker: Ritarshi Chakrabarty

How do we move from simple chatbots to fully autonomous agents within our CMS? Ritarshi provides an end-to-end overview of implementing AI Agents directly inside Drupal, covering everything from the "Hello World" setup to complex RAG implementations.

Key Takeaways

Setup & Configuration: Getting started with AI agents in Drupal.
Tooling: A look at built-in agents versus custom tool development.
Real-World Integration: Live examples, including connecting Drupal AI agents to 3rd party tools.

25 Years of Impact. Infinite Future.

Come for the cake, stay for the code. We look forward to celebrating with you!
