DrupalSouth Melbourne 2025 wrap-up!

Morpht had an incredible time at DrupalSouth 2025 Melbourne! It was, as always, a fantastic event filled with connection, collaboration, and learning alongside the Drupal community.

20 March 2025

DrupalSouth Melbourne 2025 was a fantastic event, and Morpht was excited to be an active part of it! Once again, Morpht was a proud Gold sponsor of the conference and had three presentations throughout the conference by David Flores-Condezo, Amber Henry and Naveen Valecha.

Murray Woodman was part of a closed panel of thought leaders from some of Australia's leading digital agencies discussing the Future of web - Emerging Trends. Also, a big shout out to Andre Kakos for volunteering his time to be a track lead again this year! Amber Henry also volunteered her time to help out with marketing the conference with email campaigns and social media posts.

A big thank you to the DrupalSouth committee, volunteers, Splash Award organisers, judges and the community for such a wonderful conference and we can't wait to see you all again in New Zealand in 2026!
