Lessons from a first time Drupal Camp organizer
summary
Organizing team uses a three-person core plus extended helpers, builds the site in Drupal 8 with hosting from Platform.sh and a front-end driven by pattern lab and the group module; timeline runs May–October with venue approval eating one third of the schedule. Budget relies on two simple sponsor tiers, event is free so 185 register and only 83 attend, and recordings are handled by a sponsor. Lessons: cut scope, avoid too many simultaneous rooms, consider a small ticket or stronger institutional support.
