DrupalCon Vienna 2025: DrupalFit’s Journey Through the DrupalCons

DrupalFit's story has always been linked to DrupalCon. Starting with the launch of DrupalFit in Barcelona in 2024 and developing into a full audit and maintenance platform in Atlanta in 2025, each milestone has focused on addressing real issues for Drupal users. With every step, DrupalFit has become more robust.

At DrupalCon Vienna 2025, we are taking another significant step to enhance sites, support businesses, and gain recognition at DrupalCons worldwide.

Now, let’s take a closer look at how DrupalFit has evolved over the years and across different DrupalCons.

The Launch in Barcelona 2024

DrupalFit made its first mark at DrupalCon Barcelona 2024. Launched as a dedicated support and maintenance platform, DrupalFit was built with a simple vision to help businesses keep their Drupal websites secure, optimized, and future-ready.

What began as a focused idea quickly gained momentum, receiving early encouragement from the Drupal community and even support from Dries Buytaert, the founder of Drupal.

Barcelona was more than just a starting point; it was the place where DrupalFit's path as a trusted partner for proactive Drupal support really started.

The Spotlight in Atlanta 2025

“Fit. Fast. Built to Last.” Our tagline at DrupalCon Atlanta 2025 wasn't just a phrase; it represented the mindset we embraced at the event.

This is where DrupalFit evolved from being known as just a support and maintenance service to becoming a 360-degree Drupal site audit solution.

Our NFC-powered cards became a buzz among Drupalers, sparking curiosity and conversations. But what really stole the spotlight were our live audits at the booth.

DrupalFit provided site owners and developers with a clear view of their websites' performance, SEO, accessibility, and security. The response was very positive; site owners enjoyed the ease of use, and developers valued the detailed insights.

Atlanta proved to be a turning point: DrupalFit wasn’t just seen as a tool anymore. It was recognized as a solution to real, persistent problems in the Drupal ecosystem.

Atlanta was also a moment of reflection for our team. As Pritish Kumar, Engineering Manager at DrupalFit, puts it:
“DrupalFit gave us a 360° view of our platform’s health, covering accessibility, performance, and security in one place. It helped us uncover blind spots early, optimize faster, and ultimately improve business outcomes by building more reliable and future-ready digital experiences.”

The Gold Sponsorship in Vienna 2025 

Now, at DrupalCon Vienna 2025, DrupalFit steps up as a Gold Sponsor. From launch to spotlight, and now to leadership, our journey reflects one vision: Secure, Accessible, and Fast Drupal websites for everyone.

This time, we’re not just showcasing, we’re committing. Our mission is clear:

1. Proactive Drupal care through continuous compliance
2. Seamless performance so businesses can relax while their sites thrive

Vienna is not just another milestone. It’s proof of how DrupalFit has evolved, from an idea to a trusted solution shaping the way Drupal websites are supported, audited, and maintained.

This vision resonates deeply with our development team. Rohit Singh, one of the minds behind DrupalFit, explains it best:
“In today’s digital landscape, users expect speed, security, and accessibility by default. DrupalFit helps developers deliver exactly that, streamlining SEO, accessibility, performance, and security audits into a single workflow. The result? Stronger websites, reduced risk, and better digital experiences at scale.

As developers, we know how easy it is to miss critical gaps in accessibility, SEO, performance, or security. Drupalfit changes that bring automated audits into one place so teams can catch issues early and ship with confidence. It’s about building not just websites, but experiences that are faster, safer, and more inclusive."

DrupalCon Vienna 2025: Community Uniting Again

DrupalCon Vienna 2025 will be a gathering of diverse talents, a venue where coding blends with creativity and innovation knows no bounds.

The event is expected to host over 1,000 developers, designers, content creators, business leaders, and decision-makers from around the world. It’s where the Drupal community comes together to connect, collaborate, and shape the future of open-source innovation.

The conference features four keynotes and more than 100 sessions led by experts across seven tracks, which include hands-on workshops and opportunities to contribute. Attendees will acquire practical skills and useful insights to enhance their Drupal projects.

Informal gatherings that are self-organized (BoFs) and mentoring sessions offer extra chances to enhance skills, create valuable relationships, and learn firsthand from top Drupal experts.

In addition to collaboration, DrupalCon Vienna 2025 will celebrate innovation at the International Splash Awards 2025, recognizing the most significant Drupal projects worldwide. Since 2018, the Splash Awards have grown into a worldwide platform, highlighting exceptional work from regional champions in North America, Europe, and Asia. This October, Vienna will again be the venue for this esteemed celebration of creativity and technical skill.

This year, DrupalFit (OpenSense Labs) is proud to be nominated in two prestigious categories:

1. Commerce: Inspiration Travel – Enterprise Booking & Operations Engine Built on Drupal for Group Travel
2. Tools / Apps: DrupalFit – A Lightweight AI-Powered Tool for 360° Audits and Continuous Compliance

DrupalCon Vienna 2025: 45-Day Path to Drupal Success

Locating skilled Drupal professionals is a global challenge. At DrupalCon Vienna 2025, our Engineering Manager, Pritish Kumar, will take the stage to present “Onboarding and Growing New Drupal Developers: Our 45-Day Internship Blueprint.”

In this session, Pritish will share how we turned the talent shortage into an opportunity by designing a structured 45-day internship program. This program successfully transformed fresh interns into confident junior Drupal developers through a blend of hands-on projects, best-practice learning, and real-world task simulations.

This session is a must-attend for managers, tech leads, and mentors looking to:

1. Create a replicable onboarding plan tailored to Drupal.
2. Structure learning to gradually build confidence in new developers.
3. Steer clear of typical mistakes such as too much theory or not enough hands-on debugging experience.

This blueprint includes practical templates, task sheets, and real project insights. It is a proven framework that any Drupal team can adapt.

Why It Matters for Drupal’s Future

The future of Drupal relies not only on innovation but also on the next generation of developers who will shape and sustain it. This session adds to this year’s conversation by addressing one of the most pressing community questions:

How do we bring in, grow, and retain new Drupal talent?

By sharing a proven, structured approach, this talk empowers teams worldwide to:

1. Close the skill gap in Drupal hiring.
2. Foster sustainable community growth.
3. Ensure Drupal remains future-ready by continuously nurturing new contributors.

By sharing our blueprint, we aim to inspire organizations across the Drupal ecosystem to invest in structured mentorship and training. Building the next generation of Drupal developers means strengthening the community, driving innovation, and securing Drupal’s future.
