We are excited to officially announce the Mautic Developer Days and Community Sprint, taking place in Vienna from July 19th to July 22nd alongside the Drupal Developer Days event.

For the subsequent two days, we have lined up an exciting schedule of community contribution sessions.

Regardless of your expertise, there will be ample opportunities for you to make a valuable impact and contribute to the growth of Mautic.

If you can’t make it to Vienna, you can still join us virtually from anywhere.
