We're heading to (May 12-14)! 🇳🇿
If you're building Drupal sites that need to handle modern bot traffic, or evaluating AI infrastructure that doesn't compromise data sovereignty, our team will be there with two technical sessions worth your time:
👉 Sean Hamlin (Principal Architect): "Bots, Scrapers, and Proxies: Defending Drupal Sites in an Automated Internet"
🗓️ Wednesday, May 13 | 10:10-10:40 AM | Breakout 1
Modern bots use headless browsers, residential proxies, and AI-driven scraping that mimics real users. Traditional IP blocking doesn't cut it anymore. This session covers pragmatic, layered defenses; Drupal modules like Perimeter and CrowdSec, plus how to use Anubis to selectively protect high-cost endpoints without breaking accessibility or SEO.
👉 Toby Bellwood (Head of Engineering): "Platform-First AI: How We Built a Secure AI Infrastructure and Showcased It Through Drupal"
🗓️ Thursday, May 14 | 1:20-1:50 PM | Breakout 2
Most organizations start with AI use cases, then scramble for compliant infrastructure. We built the platform first, LiteLLM-based, multi-provider, complete data sovereignty, then developed Drupal integrations to prove it works. We'll cover our open source AI infrastructure, custom Drupal AI Provider module, and real implementations (batch alt-text for 10k+ catalogs, vector-powered chatbots).
Stop by our booth to talk shop about managed open source hosting and private AI infrastructure. Plus daily prize draws: LEGO sets, YETI Ramblers, and exclusive swag. 🥳
