Drupal’s motto has long been “Come for the code. Stay for the community.” If our code comes from smart people and our community comes from kind people, we could rephrase our motto as “Come for the intelligence. Stay for the emotions.”
In this time where Artificial Intelligence is dominating discussions in the tech world, it’s important to look at what is motivating us. What are our emotions driving us to do?
And since we are all tremendous nerds, let’s go all the way back… to the evolution of emotions. And then forward to modern advances in brain science.
During the last 80 years, Brain Science, Psychology and Artificial Intelligence have been linked in surprising ways. Understanding how our brains work has revolutionized both AI and psychology.
Let’s take a sweeping look at our emotional intelligence and our artificial intelligence. With a better understanding of those topics, I hope we can improve ourselves… and our code.

Abstract:
As AI reshapes every industry, organizations face a critical choice: rely on expensive big-tech APIs or build tailored, in-house AI capabilities. In this session, InDigital's team presents AIaaS — a homegrown Artificial Intelligence as a Service platform offering end-to-end AI solutions including image analysis, speech recognition, NLP, video analysis, and semantic data representation. We'll walk through the architecture, the deep learning technologies powering the platform, and how modular AI microservices can integrate with content management systems like Drupal to supercharge content workflows — from automated metadata extraction to intelligent document processing. Whether you manage a media archive, a cultural heritage portal, or a sports platform, this talk will show you what's possible when AI meets open-source thinking.

Drupal migrations can be scary, unknown processes. Content is often messy and full of edge cases. What often starts out as simple can quickly grow out of control, with seemingly endless frustrations along the way.

With some groundwork, constraints, and clear expectations, things become a lot easier.

This session will give you some practical advice to planning and execute your content migration into Drupal.

Ever struggled with delayed processing, lack of real-time feedback, or the inability to choose how and when your queue items run? What if you could hand-pick your message transport, control sync vs async execution, and build intelligent pipelines with built-in retries and failure handling? This is where Symfony Messenger steps in. It brings a modern, flexible, and battle-tested messaging system into your Drupal application.
