Docs and additional fields _[_here_](https://www.drupalstarforge.ai/ai-dashboard/docs)_._ \[/Tracker\] ### Problem/Motivation Drupal developers working with AI need a dedicated, technical day to get up to speed on AI tooling, AI in PHP/Symfony/Drupal frameworks, and the growing ecosystem of Drupal AI modules and contrib projects. Existing conference sessions spread across a full event do not give this topic the depth or focus it deserves. ### Proposed Resolution Deliver a one-day, all-tech AI summit co-located with DrupalCon Rotterdam 2026. No keynote. No filler. Every session is technical and practical. Developers leave having gone from zero to Drupal AI dev hero in a single day. * **Organiser:** Matthew Saunders * **Background support:** Frederik Wouters, Angie Byron * **Visual / marketing:** Maria Fernanda Silva ### Other Notes Names that are included in the Event Overview are still TBD. They have not necessarily been approached or have accepted these duties. --- ### Event Overview **Format:** Full day, tech sessions only.
