Getting Started With Layout Builder
Getting Started With Layout Builder for Drupal 8 & 9
With Danny Englander
This presentation will cover the basics of getting started with Layout Builder. Drupal’s Layout Builder allows content editors, site builders, and themers to create visual layouts for displaying content. Users can customize how content is arranged on a single page, across types of content, or even create custom landing pages with an easy to use drag-and-drop interface.
Meta Tag Strategy
Implementing a top notch search and social media meta tag strategy
With Jim Birch
Do you want to enhance the look of your content on social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Pinterest? Do you want to get included in rich search features in Google? Do you want to be prepared for what comes next? Configuring the correct metadata on your content can help boost the chances of it outperforming its competition in search results and on social media sites, and help your organization achieve its goals.
Win a fight with Solr
How to win a fight with Solr
With Mark Casias

Accessible Marketing Practices
Accessible Marketing Practices
With Donna Bungard
Adopting an accessible marketing strategy can save time and money but what does that look like? In this session, we’ll talk through practical ways to incorporate accessibility into the marketing practices you’re already doing.
BADCamp 2019 Sessions
Working Remotely
How to Work Remotely and Foster a Happy, Balanced Life
With Anne Stefanyk
Virtual. Remote. Distributed. Pick your label. This style of organization is becoming more popular and in-demand among many Drupal shops. While many folks have gone remote, some people find the experience quite isolating and disconnected.
Does remote work make people happier? Does it make them more productive? The answer is not really. It is not the act of working from home that creates employee happiness; it is creating a culture that fosters remote practices to develop meaning, collaboration, and happiness.
Using Lighthouse
Shine a Light on Me
With Paul Sheldrake
Have you ever wondered how your website performs in terms of Performance, SEO, Accessibility, and Best Practices? Come learn about the features of the Lighthouse auditing tool and the different ways that it can be integrated into your workflow.
Local Development
Local Development Environments Panel Discussion
With Sean Dietrich
Local Drupal development can be tricky, especially with so many tooling choices. Having an environment that works for you is important whether you’re a developer, tester, designer, or any sort of stakeholder. In this session, we’ll review a few of the tools available (there are 37+ for Drupal at last count), their features, and meet some of the folks who build and use them.
New Contributor Workshop
New Contributor Workshop
With AmyJune Hineline
Drupal thrives on community contributions in the form of patches and documentation to both contributed modules and core. This helps the project move forward and stay relevant.
Not everyone who works on open source projects is a senior developer. Drupal is built through lots of little tasks. Smaller tasks help people increase confidence and gain experience, which, in turn, leads to more contributions. We’ll build on each other’s strengths to learn how to navigate the issue queue while having fun trying new things.
But how does one become a contributor?
Together we will go through the process of creating an issue, writing a patch, uploading the fix to Drupal.org, reviewing the patch for RTBC (reviewed and tested by the community) and more. We’ll even take a look at the upcoming GitLab contribution process because specific tools and processes change over time.
BADCAmp 2018 Sessions
COIT Drupal 8 Case Study
Cleaning up their mess: How a franchise carpet cleaning service made their domain spotless and tidy
With Sean Dietrich & Jim Birch

In this case study we covered the more technical parts of this Drupal 8 implementation.
Meta & Schema
Meta and Schema: Defining the Content about your Content
With Jim Birch
This session will present a whirlwind, two fisted, no holds barred, data filled session that has almost too much information about implementing Schema.org schemas for structured data and current best practice meta tags in Drupal. This session is meant for anyone responsible for publishing content online and for those that empower them to do so.
Friendly Stalking
Friendly Stalking: Learning from your users (without being creepy)
With Katherine White
This talk will expose some touchpoints that can help you learn about your users and how they interact with your site. We’ll discuss tools that move beyond just your analytics platform to help you gain access to these insights, and we’ll walk through some core features of Google Analytics that you may not be aware of.
Refresh vs Rebuild?
If it Ain’t Broke… Does Your Website Need a Refresh or Rebuild?
With Anne Stefanyk
