Are you prepared to gain mastery of your Drupal Skills? BADCamp has two full days of training offered from some of the most talented leaders in the Drupal community. Join the masters on Wednesday and Thursday while they unfold the magic. This year BADCamp offers skills training in DevOps, theming, module development, content strategy, and much more!

BADCamp has historically provided a completely free training thanks to the overwhelming generosity of our sponsors. However, this year we must charge a nominal fee of $25 to cover operating expenses as we are short on sponsorship funding. We sincerely apologize for this short notice. We needed to find ways at the last minute to break even.

This was a really difficult decision for the BADCamp organizers to make.

If you can't afford the $25 or its super complicated to get funding, please reach out to the BADCamp organizers via the contact form and we will help! We have had generous attendees offer to donate extra seats in the classes.

Thank you for your understanding. 

BADCamp is 100% volunteer run and 100% funded by our sponsors and the support of our local community. Thank you!

Please note, due to the logistics of running the event and coordinating trainees, all seats are non-refundable after Thursday, October 12.
