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. 

Our second year of running the event, we welcome everyone interested in deepening their knowledge of Mautic and joining our vibrant community. Whether you're a developer, marketer, technical writer, or simply curious about Mautic, this is the perfect opportunity to dive into the world of this outstanding open source marketing automation platform.

What to Expect

The event kicks off on the first day with a comprehensive introduction to Mautic during a training session. This session is tailor-made to provide a solid foundation for individuals new to Mautic, ensure you're up to speed, and ready to unlock its full potential.

For the subsequent two days, we have lined up an exciting schedule of community contribution sessions. These sessions offer firsthand experience in various aspects of the Mautic project, including development, testing, marketing, technical writing, community building, and event organizing. Regardless of your expertise, there will be ample opportunities for you to make a valuable impact and contribute to the growth of Mautic.

Embrace Flexibility

In recognition of the diverse Mautic community spread across the globe, we are pleased to offer a remote participation option. If you can't make it to Vienna, you can still join us virtually from anywhere. We want to ensure that every member of the Mautic community has the chance to participate and contribute, no matter their location.

Several of our team members will be contributing remotely so we will have mentors available both in-person and online to get you started.
