 Hi there. My name is Neil Kent. I'm the Director of Events for the Drupal Association. My name is Ben Jevins, local team lead. Really happy to have you guys here with us. Thanks for sticking it out to the end. Yeah, so just a quick reminder, if you haven't filled out session evaluations for all the great sessions that we had at DrupalCon, please do so. It's really helpful. There will also be an overall conference survey that will be available on the websites. There will probably be an email that goes out about that later this week. So, how many of you folks? How many is this your first DrupalCon? Wow, that's fantastic. That's great. So, here's what we do in our closing sessions. We have a few announcements for you. We have some fun facts to share. All sorts of cool stuff goes on. And everybody, I think pretty well knows that our next event coming up in August is going to be in Munich. Very cool. We've made some pretty good progress on the show. And there's a few people I'd like to bring out to give you an update on what's happening. So, in just a second, let's go ahead and bring out Karsten and Florian. Hello DrupalCon! Hello Denver! We're having a fantastic conference here in Denver. But the fun is not over yet. And in less than six months, the fun will continue. The adventure will continue in Munich, Germany. Well, the same of the next conference will be open up interconnecting people. And for us, it means think outside of our box, think beyond Drupal. What are the people doing and using out there every day? And how can we make them interconnect with us, Drupal community? So back in London, I told you that we would have some secret keynote speakers to announce. And today is the moment that we are going to announce that the first keynote speaker for Drupal... Sorry. Yes, the first keynote speaker of the first day of DrupalCon Munich will be Dries. And he'll be telling us everything about Drupal8 and the progress that we're making into turning this into the best version of Drupal that has been ever made. And we got even more. We got Anke Donscheidt back. She's a very famous business leader in Germany. And she will talk to us about open government and women and business leadership positions. On the third day, we will have Fabien Potentier, the creator of the symphony framework. And he'll be telling us what it means for Drupal to be integrating parts of symphony components into Drupal. But we got even more. Just look at the slide. We got so many tracks and so many cool people there, even fresh faces. So you just have to come around and see all of this awesome stuff. So we've been pretty active over the past couple of months, actually the past couple of weeks, to get everything ready to, well, all the things that need to be ready for today. Well, we got a city Munich. Jack, we got an even bigger venue for that. You can all come to us. Jack, we got a grand team and they are even here with us now. We got great speakers. Jack, we got a lot of great sponsors already. Actually, we've had a lot of sponsors very quickly and we're almost running out of sponsorship opportunities and we're putting a lot of work on Megan from the Drupal Association to create new sponsorship opportunities because we want to help all these companies who want to support the Drupal community and the Drupal County event. If you want to get your logo on this slide, get in touch with Megan. Jack, we got a lot of very cool marketing materials. So, well guys, here it comes. Later on we have the exits more of those, so don't be afraid, you won't get some. So we've gotten a lot of things done, but we're not completely done. There's still a couple of things that we need to do before August. First of all, we need attendees. We need you, we need all of you to come to Munich. And we need speakers. This is an awesome opportunity for all of you to share your experience and just go to the website and sign up there. If you've got a good idea for a session, just please share it with us. As usual, before the conference, we're going to have a pre-conference training day. I know that there's many of you in this audience that give professional training if you want to give a training at DrupalCon Munich, submit the form on the website and we'll get in touch with you. Yeah, and we need even more attendees. See, this was London and it was just totally crowded and it was so cool, so many people being there. So the next venue will be even bigger and we wanted to be as cool as London. So please come around, we need attendees, we need all of you. And finally, well, how are we going to get all these attendees? Well, we want to grow the community. And to do so, we need your help. So tweet about it on Twitter, write about it on Facebook, just use those coasters that you get, just spread them around, spread the word. So don't hesitate, the registration is open now, which is really great. Now go to the website and sign on, we really want to see you there. It's in Germany, it's great, it's Munich, just be part of our community. Come to Munich, please. Thank you and we'll see you in Munich. See you there, thanks a lot, bye. Thanks you guys. Florian and Karsten, the Germany team, you guys are great, thanks so much. Really looking forward to Munich, it's going to be really cool. There is something else that's coming up that I don't think anybody's aware of just yet. And I do have a couple of other friends to bring out and make a very special announcement. I think right now they're probably getting mic'd up. So I'd ask the question before about how many people this is your first Drupalcon. How many people this is your second Drupalcon? Any three-timers? Beautiful. Okay, whoa, hey. How's it going? Nice surprise. I'd like to introduce to you my friend Fernando and Fabiano, who have a very special announcement for you. Good afternoon everyone, I'm here to invite you to Drupalcon, Sao Paulo 2012. Good afternoon everyone, we're here to invite you to Drupalcon, Sao Paulo 2012. Welcome everybody, we are here to invite you all to Drupalcon, Sao Paulo 2012. It is the first Drupalcon in Latin America ever. It will take place in Sao Paulo, a vibrant city home to 20 million people and the world's third largest city. Brazil, it's a booming economy and now is the sickest sixth economy in the world and has 46 million internet users and established Drupal community. That's big, no? And there is potential for even more growth of the Drupal community in the global market and Latin America is huge. And even in Brazil, we'll allow lots of new people to experience the power of our community. And the best part is, it's going to take place in December 6th to 8th. December, it's summer in Brazil. So you guys may stay here in the north freezing or head south and enjoy Brazil's perfect summer with your fellow Drupalistas. We hope to see everyone there. We'll see you in Sao Paulo. We're waiting for you in Sao Paulo. Thanks you guys. Who's excited for Sao Paulo? Yeah. So we have one more announcement, sort of a passing of the torch so that to bring out the organizers for the next North American Drupal Con 2013. I'm Amy Scavarda. And I'm Chris Bloom. And for those of you that already know us, you kind of know where this one is going. That's right. We're going to tell you where you're going in 2013 for the next... sorry, 2014 for the next North American Drupal Con. But first, we'd like to tell you a little bit about our city, accompanied by the theme music we've brought with us. Thank you because you were me. I don't know about you, but I'm totally pumped right now. That was awesome. In 2013, Drupal Con will be held in a beautiful city with no sales tax, a ton of bridges, and more breweries inside the city limit of any city in North America. But for some reason, it's illegal to pump your own gas there. It's a city with more hipsters per square foot than a Panic at the Disco concert on a two-for-one PAPS night. It's a city so hip, you've probably never heard of it. It's a city that sits at the confluence of the majestic Willamette River, the powerful Columbia River, and a clown college. That's right. If you somehow didn't know already, in 2013, you're going to Portland, Oregon. Portland has a strong and varied open-source history from Oskon to open-source bridge to Linus Torvalds. We're a big part of the Silicon Forest. What's more important is that Portland loves Drupal and beer, and Drupal and beer at the same time a lot. We've got a fanatically active community. We have three different user group meetings that meet every single month, and at least a couple hundred active users. Recently, the Drupal Association actually moved into town, and we couldn't be prouder. In my opinion, Portland holds some of the best Drupal people and companies in the entire country. So it'll be our pleasure in May 2013 to welcome you to the beautiful city of Portland, Oregon. Thank you. Thanks, Chris and Amy. Okay, so we're going to just take a little bit and talk a little bit about our process for DrupalCon Denver and say thanks to a lot of the people that helped make this happen. So hopefully you noticed the amazing conference design, the great beautiful website. The website was actually nominated for our Web Fonts Award. So we're very thankful for that. A big shout out to Ken Woodworth and Atten Design Group for their help there. We also made some press with this event. We were in Fast Company's top events for March, one of the must-attend events. It's a little bit hard to see there, but we were pretty high on education, so we learned ability, how valuable this conference is to learn something from it. I hope you all agree. Also drinkability, we scored pretty good. It sounds like we might be better in Portland and a unit for sure, too. We also made some of the local press. So this is Jeff Walpole from Phase 2 Design, talking to, excuse me, Phase 2 Technology, talking to 9 News. And I found it a little interesting that coding nerds unite, because we're pretty wide on diverse community, we're not all coders, they just don't get us quite. All right, so we'll talk a little bit about some of the statistics from this conference. In San Francisco, we had just over 3,000 registrations. In Chicago, we had 2,881 registrations. Today, you guys are sitting at the largest Drupalcon in history with 3,081 registrants from over 47 countries. So thanks, you guys, for making that happen. That's really cool, and I'm really, really proud. So let's talk a little bit about some of the revenue and some of the expenses. So how did we do it? What did we raise and where did it all go? So we have just a tremendous sponsor community out here. There was, I think, about 60 or 70 different sponsors, all of them contributing in different ways. And the thing that's really important about them is we offer about a $1,400 conference for somewhere between $350 and $450 per person. And the way we do that is through the help of our sponsors, and we thank every last one of them. There's just too many of them for me to put up on a screen right now, but I hope that you met them in the exhibit hall, and certainly we all thank them very, very much for making it possible to be here. So thank you guys. So the numbers that we'll talk about, these are preliminary numbers. Please forgive us a couple of percentage points as we're waiting for invoices to come in and final numbers to come in from accounting systems. But sponsorship revenue was $452,200. That's great. Ticket sales, you guys coming in for a Drupalcon, a few people from our CXO event and other, $894,325. And $41,000 worth of ticket sales to help pay for that great party over at City Hall. It was a lot of fun. And we had an open bar for three hours, cash bar for the last portion of it. We had DJ J from Aquia spinning for us all night. That guy was up there over five hours, never took a bathroom break. Don't know how he did it. It was really cool. That was a lot of fun. So our total revenue for this event was approximately $1,542,640,000. Thank you all. All right, so we made all this money. Where'd it go is one of the ever-popular questions. So first of all, the venues that we're at today, the Colorado Convention Center, $85,912 to rent this facility. It's a lot of money, but it was a lot of space and this was one of the best venues economically to say that we've worked in as a Drupalcon. So very cool to them and thank you very much. Our partner here, Arlena McDaniel, I think she had to run out and pick up a kid or something like that, but I wish she was here because she made life so easy for us. Our AV partners, $68,140 for these great screens, projectors, all the AV in the breakout rooms. Catering, $382,000 and a little bit higher because today when we plan a conference, we know that we have X number of people after five or so percent won't show up the first day. We'll get 10% that'll leave the second day so on and so forth. You guys stuck around. So we were a little bit short on lunches today. We apologized to the last 100 people that had to wait a little extra. But our approximate catering bill, about $382,000, maybe $500, a little bit more. Graphics and signage, in a little bit, you guys will meet Ken Woodworth, who did just such a beautiful, amazing job on all the signage around. We love him for it. He put in so much time. So we designed this great signage and we had a few different partners to print it. So about $29,000 or so. Security, temp, the coat check. I didn't know anybody would use a coat check because it's Denver in March and everybody would be cold. No idea it would be 70 degrees. But that was fun. Almost $9,000. Speakers. There were a couple of speakers that we worked with that do get compensated. About $6,500 including the travel and expense, really, really reasonable. Registrations materials, the t-shirts, the toe shirts, the badge lids, the value ad booklets, excuse me, $32,000. Our trainings, the trainings that take place on Monday, the approximate cost before the speaker compensation is about $66,000. And some of the speakers get compensated differently. We don't have those numbers just yet. We saw some tabulations to do. Scholarships. One of the things that DrupalCon is incredibly proud of is there are some really great people that we needed at DrupalCon and they just can't put their own bill. They need some help. So the association pitches in and this year our scholarship program to get about 20 people or so here was about $20,000. The city hall party that I mentioned to you before, $65,000. Conference planning and production, about $65,000. Merchant registration fees, credit card fees, that type of thing. That's a nice little chunk of about $32,000. Travel for the staff and miscellaneous folks, about $35,000. The association works on this event all year round and we have offices, we have electricity, we have computer fees, we have all sorts of different things. The overhead for the association, about $272,000. And our total expenditures would be about $1.2 million. Thanks, man. So total revenue, $1.5,000. Total expenses, $1.2. We have generated $333,000 that we can put back to the community and we thank you all once again. We also drank a lot of coffee. Indeed we did. This is what we ordered, I believe. So 9,040 cups of coffee, roughly 565 gallons. So we actually had originally some coffee planned in the afternoon, but we worked, Jason Yee from our community worked with the caterer to kind of move around a little bit to try to make lunch a little bit better. You all enjoy the food. So our Wi-Fi usage. On Tuesday, there were about 2,900 consecutive users connected to the Wi-Fi, and that bandwidth on that day, we peaked around the average of 103 megabits. So pretty, pretty high. On Tuesday, we had about 2,100 connected. That's even on Wednesday. And actually broke that 103, we got to 107 megabits, average transfer. And then today, until about noon, 2,000. So we kept about a lot of people connected and online. And did 102 megabits. Oh, and one note, sort of about the design and the conference center and all of that in regards to our environmental and social-like impact. So the food, all the food that was left over was donated to a program called We Don't Waste, which donates to local charities to make sure that that food gets out to people that can use it. Leftover materials were donated. Also, all of the signage that was produced is 100% biodegradable. So that's about that. And I believe it's from what I've heard from part of the Drupal Associations initiative to help create more of an environmentally sound impact with these events. So look for more information on that and more progress. So one last note on the environmental impact. We have a particular partner, a production company we work with called Groundsfall Marketing, and a lady named Diana Connolly. Diana's actually right now, she's back in college getting a master's degree and my job is to watch budgets and her job is to watch out for the earth and make sure that our conference runs as smoothly as possible. So although I give Diana a bit of a hard time, I do want to thank her very much for making sure that we do keep down that path. So Diana, wherever you are, thank you again for making sure that we are socially responsible. Alright, so I'd mentioned that we had about 60 sponsors and the importance of our sponsors was that they made this conference a cost effective event. They support our community, they support our platform. We really, we just can't thank them enough and if we could just one more quick round of applause for those guys. Thank you also to the Colorado Convention Center and all of the crew and staff here that has helped make this happen. It's very much appreciated. Alright, so I mentioned Groundsfall Marketing and Diana Connolly, thank you so very much. We had a great many wonderful partners here. The Colorado Convention Center as I said, it wasn't cheap but we really got our money's worth from them. They were really fantastic. The Hyatt Hotels, we had our 24-hour Coder Lounge, great many sleeping rooms. They put up with us at the bar. Smart City, the internet providers, if you all remember, we had a couple of stats here. Not one day were we under 100 megabits. We got off to a little bit of a rough start as Drupalcons tend to do because nobody takes seriously when we tell them how much bandwidth we use. But if you look at it, we asked for 100 megabits and 103 megabits, 107 megabits. And there is a really nice lady named Debbie Olivia's. Debbie, I think, worked about 48 hours between Monday and Tuesday to make sure that we were up and running and smooth on Wednesday and Thursday. So Debbie, wherever you are, my apologies to your children. You did a great job. Center plate, our caterer, as far as the convention center goes, this kicked butt over the Moscone Center in San Francisco. The food here was pretty darn delicious. And also, the Denver community as well for myself, I work for the association I Get Paid. I work with people like Ben and a bunch of other folks that will introduce you to in just a bit. You guys are just amazing. And thank you so very, very much. So we'd also like to thank our keynote speakers. So thank you, Dries, for coming out. Also, very happy to have Mitchell Baker speaking on Wednesday. We'll be all really enjoyed that keynote. So thank you, Mitchell. Thank you for coming out this morning. I hope that was wonderful. Thank you, Luke, for coming out. And also, thanks to the Drupal Association for their support and really making this happen. So I mean, it's a lot of volunteers that go into this, but it's people like Neil and the rest of the Drupal Association staff that have direction and have, like, drive to make this happen. And it's very much appreciated. Thank you, Drupal Association. Thanks, Ben. So speaking of the association, we have a great group of people, a really great group of people that are working with us in the association, and I'd like to introduce those folks now. So are any of my partners back there? Neil Drum, our Systems Manager. Thank you. Chris Clinkhardt, our Office Manager. Liz Trudeau, our Data Wrangler. My new partner, Stephanie, Stephanie Alhouch. Marta Betts, our Marketing Manager. And I think you all probably know Jacob Redding, our Executive Director. Thanks, guys. Why don't you guys stay up here for just a moment, and there's a few other folks. I'd mentioned that we have this local community that was really just tremendous. There's some local volunteers that we'd like to bring out and introduce you to. I can't do it all by name, but you can see them up on the screen. Hey, you guys, why don't you come on out? We had about 40 volunteers organizing since October of 2010, so big round of applause to all of these folks as well. So, like I said, I get paid, these guys don't, and many of them put hundreds and hundreds of hours in. I write these roles and responsibility pages for people who want to volunteer, and I lie like a rug about how much time you'll spend doing this, but by that time, they're already invested, so they stick around. But would you all say it was fun? Would you all say that it was worth it? Would you all say it was worth it? So, it really is fun, and it's really rewarding, because the next month you think, I hate this, and then you're on site, and just the adrenaline just keeps you going, and you're really, really proud of what you've done. I think any of these people will tell you. If you would like to volunteer for a DrupalCon that we have in an upcoming city, just go to the website, click on the link and submit your information. What would you like to do, and what makes you good at it, and we'd love to have you as a part of us. So, with that being said, I'd like to thank all of you folks for your interest ever. Tonight, we've got some trivia. Tomorrow, if you want to contribute back to the project, we've got the code sprint going on. I think everybody here has been just fantastic. I really love doing the show. I'm very, very proud. I thank you, and I think it's time for a beer. Thanks very much.
