About


DrupalSouth Shorts is our online-only event format. New for 2021, with shorter formats, topical content and the opportunity ask questions and interact online. 

We’ve worked decades as business as usual, but what does business as unusual look like? 

Guest speaker, Executive Director Digital, Design and Innovation at the Department of Premier and Cabinet (Vic) and CIO50 - 2018 and 2020, Jithma Beneragama will share the Department’s strategy and learnings following a roll out of new digital technologies during a time of immense change. 

What’s included:

  • Practical insights into how new digital technologies can support business goals
  • Learn how to accelerate your organisation’s digital capabilities to thrive when practices return to business as usual. 
  • Ideas sharing with executive peers during two breakout discussions 
  • Enjoy an online lunch catered by Drupal

This event is by invitation only with seats limited to 20 guests to ensure all participants have an equal opportunity to contribute to the discussion. RSVP today!
