DrupalCon Latin America 2015

Latin America is a vast region and its 600 million inhabitants are a wonderful blend of multiple cultures. Seeking to bring DrupalCon to the most diverse public possible, the first DrupalCon in Latin America took place in Bogota, Colombia - close to the geographical center of the region.

When I visited Brazil in 2011, I was so impressed by the Latin American Drupal community and how active and passionate the people are. The region is fun and beautiful, with some of the most amazing sites I have seen anywhere in the world. It also happens to be a strategic region for the project.

DrupalCon Latin America is days away! If you’ve been planning to register for your badge onsite, be aware that the price will increase on Sunday night from USD $275 (online pricing) to USD $310 (onsite pricing).

People are coming from around the world to attend DrupalCon Latin America. With attendees from countries including Brazil, Spain, Germany, Denmark, India, Colombia, and more, DrupalCon Latin America promises to be a culturally (and linguistically) diverse DrupalCon.

To keep us from mixing up our modules with our mandongo, Lingotek has stepped in to donate over $10,000 USD of translation services for the convention.

DrupalCon Latino América esta a la vuelta de la esquina, las inscripciones esta abiertas y estamos esperando por todos los desarrolladores Latinoamericanos en Bogota, durante la semana de Febrero 9-14 de 2015.

Una de las cosas que mas preocupa a los potenciales asistentes es el costo del evento, incluyendo costos de viaje y mantencion, por supuesto. Preocupación entendible en una economia que es cada vez mas demandante y compleja. Pero la pregunta que debemos hacernos es si esto es una inversión o un gasto?
