With Drupal CMS 2.0 released in September, it's a great opportunity to showcase what we have built so far, what we have planned next on the roadmap, and briefly look back at the process so far.
Drupal is so popular in the enterprise market that there is no single Drupal development project that is easy for developers.
One of the biggest challenges is the global project of deploying multiple sites in multiple languages in so many regions and countries.
AI is reshaping buyer expectations faster than any CMS trend we’ve seen. Prospects now ask: “How will your platform harness my data for AI without locking me in?” This session arms agency leads, sales engineers, and product owners with a pitch that lands.
Fax machines for marketing? Carved ivory seals for bank accounts? These aren't just "WTF Japan" memes; they grew out of the context of the bureaucracy, language, society, and culture. The better you understand this context, the more effective you will be here.

- アップデート戦略
- CI/CDによる自動化
oEmbed is a well established format, however ever evolving content usage policies and security restrictions are preventing site builders from using iFrames to inject external content from sources such as YouTube, Instagram, X, and many social networks and content providers.
I’ve been working directly with AI to help solve real challenges faced by marketing teams, improving workflows, reducing manual effort, and supporting better decision-making.
前半では日本拠点でのDrupal導入における課題や取り組みを紹介し、後半はグローバルDXPにおけるアジリティ実現をテーマに対談します。実務担当者の視点からの知見を共有します。
Drupalは高機能なCMSとして多くの実績を持つ一方で、日本では「技術者向け」「専門的すぎる」という印象を持たれがちです。しかし実際には、プロジェクトマネージャー（PM）、スクラムマスター（SM）、UXデザイナー、コンテンツプランナーなど、多様な職種が関わり合いながらプロジェクトを成功に導いています。

The introduction of Drupal CMS has created a buzz in the Drupal community, redefining how we think about building with Drupal. Its flexible, modern approach to development has opened up new possibilities for innovation.
数年前まで、機械学習やファインチューニングは、一部の研究機関やAIスタートアップの専有領域でした。
しかしこの数年、さまざまなツールやプラットフォームの登場によって、それが少しずつ、私たちにとっても身近なものになりつつあります。
学習データは、モデルの「知性」を決める最も重要な基盤です。けれど、そのデータをチームで育てるための仕組みである、バージョン管理、ワークフロー、セキュリティ、アクセス制御、監査ログ出力などの要素を包括的にカバーできるツールは、まだ多くありません。
One of the key elements of the Starshot Initiative is the rapidly evolving system for Recipes.
AI is no longer a “nice-to-have” but a necessity for businesses looking to maintain a competitive edge. By integrating AI solutions from Drupal, organizations can drive more efficiency and optimize their content creation workflows.

「Taxonomy便利ですよね。」って導入をいつもだったらするんですが、今回はできません。なぜなら私は、TaxonomyをCoreから外してほしいと思っているから。
この冒頭で「何言ってるの？」って感じた方。Taxonomyの強みを言えますか？
本セッションでは、当モジュールの「強み」と「制約」を批判的に検討します。どの点がユニークで、どの機能がカスタムエンティティや独自モジュールで容易に代替可能なのか、また、どのようなケースで不要な複雑さを招くのかを具体的に掘り下げます。
