Drupal AI Initiative: Drupal AI Summit, Paris | Creating AI systems that belong to everyone

Drupal AI Summit

On 9 December 2025, leaders from across the globe will meet in Paris for the Drupal AI Summit, hosted within the Future of Software Technologies (FOST) conference, the world's largest federated technology event.

The summit brings together engineers, architects, product leaders, and marketers who are putting AI to use in real systems. It explores what happens when AI meets the open-source values that built Drupal: transparency, community, and long-term thinking.

Within FOST, the Drupal AI track will host twelve focused sessions led by leaders in Drupal AI. These sessions will share lessons from real projects and outline the steps toward making Drupal the most AI-enabled open-source CMS.

Attendees who are part of the Drupal community can access complimentary VIP tickets, each valued at €299, which include entry to 25+ co-located tech conferences at the same venue. The discussions will focus on architecture, governance, and collaboration, showing how to create AI tools that teams can trust and maintain responsibly.

Why this summit matters

AI is now part of how organizations work, publish, and communicate. The question is no longer whether to use it but how to use it well.

Through its open-source foundation, Drupal is helping teams improve publishing, accessibility, and content quality with AI. These are not experiments; they are production workflows that make everyday work faster and clearer.

Most AI systems are created quietly in the background, out of view in black boxes. Open source makes this work more transparent. It brings the process out for everyone to see and understand, so teams can see how the system behaves, adjust it with intent, and guide it with clarity.

Progress on Drupal AI has accelerated in the past year, with the Drupal community shaping it as a framework for practical features across content generation, moderation, governance, and automation. Each feature is designed with human oversight in the loop to keep controlled and responsible AI at the core.

The Paris summit brings these efforts into a wider conversation. It is a place for people who want to see AI and open systems work together, as partners in how modern software is built and maintained.

Building together

AI will continue to influence how digital experiences are created and maintained. The question is how we build it and who gets to decide.

The Drupal AI Summit is for those who believe progress should stay open and shared. It is a day for collaboration, curiosity, and honest discussion about what responsible and open AI can look like when built together.

Join us in Paris on 9 December 2025 at CNIT Forest, La Défense. Learn how Drupal and its community are shaping the next phase of AI, one that keeps people at the center of every creation.
