AI Page Building with Drupal Canvas

Speaker: Aidan Foster 

AI-powered page building is now in Drupal Canvas. Marketers can create content independently, keep brand consistency at scale, and move faster without sacrificing quality.

Aidan Foster, part of the team behind the DrupalCon Vienna Dries Note demo, walks through Canvas page building - generating complete landing pages with hero sections, CTAs, and testimonials in minutes. You'll also see the Context Control Center, which keeps AI output aligned with your brand voice and content guidelines.

Epic Things You Built with Drupal AI

Speaker: Michael Schmidt

If you're skeptical whether this AI stuff actually works in the real world, Michael rapid-fires through ten companies already using it in production.

• World Cancer Day uses AI to automatically filter spam from story submissions.
• A French telecom built an image search that verifies whether they own the rights to use photos (99% accuracy). 
• A UK council converted over 2,000 old PDF documents into accessible websites 240 times faster than doing it manually.
• A shipping company reduced problem resolution from weeks to minutes.
• A European train company processes 20,000 delay compensation claims per hour and actually improved customer satisfaction with the faster service.

The pattern? Most of these aren't flashy public features. They're internal tools that make teams more efficient. That's where AI has the biggest impact right now. Not replacing people, but giving them superpowers to handle volume they couldn't before.

Lessons from Integrating AI Into Real Marketing Teams

Speaker: Akansha Saxena

Akansha Saxena shares practical lessons from six months of integrating AI into a marketing team at Acquia, focusing on what works in reality rather than headline claims. She explains how confusion, not fear, is the main barrier to adoption, and shows how small, low friction changes, regular shared learning, and human review can make AI genuinely useful. The session includes clear examples of cost savings and simple automation, offering a grounded and credible approach for managers seeking to encourage meaningful AI adoption within their teams.

Drupal CMS AI and Google Gemini

Speakers: Josh Koenig & Alex Moreno López

In this sponsored session, Josh and Alex explore how the new Drupal CMS’s AI capabilities (via the Tools API) integrate with Google’s Gemini models to deliver advanced content understanding, generation and editing flows. They present technical architecture, use-case examples (multi-language, personalization) and discuss trade-offs when coupling open-source CMS with proprietary large models.

Smart Search, Safe Search: How Drupal + AI Work Together

Speaker: Sachiko Nitta

Here's a problem most companies building AI features ignore: what happens when different people should see different information?

Satanita demonstrates this beautifully with "Pillow Street," a fake company's internal website. When someone from the finance team asks the AI chatbot "What's our Q3 revenue?", the AI answers with the actual numbers. When a regular employee asks the same question, the AI says "I cannot access that information."

Most companies building AI chatbots or search features don't think about this until it's too late. Then someone uses a clever question to trick the AI into revealing confidential information. Satanita shows how to build it right from the start, of course using Drupal.

Help! My search page is getting hammered by an AI bot!

Speaker: Antje Lorch

In this practical session, Antje explores how increasing AI-powered bots and crawlers are stressing Drupal sites’ search pages. She covers detection techniques, mitigation via contrib modules (such as Solr Search, Facets, and Antibot), threat modelling for AI-driven traffic, and performance/reactivity best practices — helping site-builders keep real users happy while protecting backend resources.

Drupal AI – strategy and application

Speakers: Christoph Breidert & Frederik Wouters

This session unpacks how Drupal has positioned itself as a platform for AI integrations — showcasing real-world business scenarios like intelligent search, content generation, personalization, and RAG (retrieval-augmented generation). Christoph and Frederik walk through the architectural patterns, module ecosystem, and governance approaches that make AI in Drupal approachable, scalable, and ethical.
 

AI Agents in Drupal CMS - Create your own agent

Speaker: Vincenzo Gambino

Vincenzo demonstrates AI that not only generates content but can take action across systems. In his event manager demo, a single instruction to create an event leads the AI to post on a Drupal site and add a Google Calendar entry, figuring out the necessary steps on its own. 

He contrasts traditional workflows, which follow fixed steps, with AI agents that set a goal and determine the process independently, highlighting where each approach is most effective. The session also covers practical considerations for global deployments, showing how processing costs vary significantly by language, with real implications for budgeting.
 

The Future of Drupal Theming: AI, Drupal Canvas, and Beyond

Speaker: Mike Herchel

Discover how Drupal Canvas and emerging AI tools will transform front-end development. This session explores building components for Drupal Canvas, integrating AI into theming workflows, and applying best practices to reduce code bloat and future-proof your themes. Ideal for front-end developers familiar with Drupal theming who want to stay ahead of the next evolution in design and development.
 

Oh no! Undo! Revert recipes and AI configuration changes

Speaker: Fabian Bircher

Learn how to safely undo changes in Drupal—whether you’ve applied a recipe or let AI modify configuration. Join Fabian Bircher as he demonstrates tools like the Config Checkpoint UI module and the Drupal Launcher rollback feature, highlighting practical rollback methods across environments. No prior AI or advanced config-management experience is needed.

Using AI to go from Figma to a Drupal Theme

Speakers: Dries Buytaert and Witze Van der Straeten

During his keynote at DrupalCon Vienna Dries put the spotlight on Witze's work in developing an innovative solution that uses AI to transform Figma design templates into a working Drupal Themes.

The AI Agent Swarm has come to Drupal Canvas!

Speaker: James Abrahams

James introduces the “AI Agent Swarm” concept embedded in the new Drupal Canvas (Experience Builder) environment: multiple collaborating AI agents that assist site-builders in content creation, layout optimisation, and user-journey refinement. Through live demo and case-studies, attendees observe how these agents reduce repetition, enhance productivity, and shift how teams build Drupal sites.

AI vs. Human Creativity: How to Strike the Right Balance in Drupal

Speaker: Anubhav Tiwari

Anubhav invites the audience to explore the human–AI interplay within the Drupal ecosystem: when to rely on AI for speed (e.g., content drafts or layout suggestions), and when human judgement, editorial voice, and design intent must lead. The talk covers governance frameworks, review workflows, ethical implications, and how to preserve creativity when using AI tools.
 

ECA, AI and MCP: Connecting Context, Intelligence and Action

Speaker: Jasper Lammens

This session delves into how AI can be integrated with Drupal’s Events-Conditions-Actions (ECA) architecture alongside the Model-Context-Protocol (MCP) to build intelligent automation. Jasper demonstrates use cases such as chat, text-to-speech, event-driven responses and adaptive content workflows — showing how Drupal can move from passive CMS to a context-aware, proactive system.

AI Content Migrate for Drupal: Automating Large-Scale Content Migrations with AI

Speaker: Raffaele Chiocca

Raffaele presents an advanced workflow where AI analyses legacy content, maps it into new Drupal structures, classifies entities, and automates migration pipelines — dramatically reducing human effort and increasing accuracy. Attendees learn how to use AI-driven tooling for scalable migrations, risk mitigation when upgrading older Drupal sites, and how to integrate these into a live Drupal project.
