After our CEO Iztok Smolic again went on a DrupalCon event, this time in Dublin, to expend his and company's knowledge, we decided that we will present you the options of attending Drupal events. After already explaining, why you should attend DrupalCons, we will now focus exclusively on Drupal Camps. No matter on which continent you live, you'll know, where to widen your horizon and learn something useful about Drupal. Be it for business or for pleasure.

Drupal in Africa
A continent with the least activity with Drupal
In general, African countries have many problems
connected with wars, health, corruption … so
activities regarding this popular Content
Management System are rare
Nevertheless, some Drupal activity took place in
Africa, especially in its most evolved country South
Africa

Extinct Drupal Camps and the future
There is no guarantee that Drupal Camp will take place in
the same location for two consecutive years
Camps may have existed in the past, but are not there
anymore, due to the variety of reasons
From not having enough sponsors, not having enough
support from local community, not having enough
volunteers or even speakers, not finding the right and
proper location and so on

All in all, there are too less activities in
Africa connected with Drupal
We can only hope that African local
communities become more alert to the
benefits Drupal can offer and begin
expending the use of this CMS a little bit
more
