# drupalcon new orleans!

may 9, 2016

the time has come! it’s [drupalcon new orleans](https://events.drupal.org/neworleans2016)! while many of us, myself included, will be battling out the 88 degree temperature with crazy humidity, all attendees will be eagerly diving into the [drupal](https://www.drupal.org/) ecosystem. lots of great conversations happening around [drupal 8](https://www.drupal.org/8), project management, and the new horizons track to talk about upcoming and rad ideas.

[drupalcon new orleans](https://events.drupal.org/neworleans2016) represents my fourth drupalcon and my fourth opportunity to volunteer as the local lead for [@drupalconna](https://twitter.com/drupalconna) and [@drupalcon](https://twitter.com/drupalcon). if you send out a tweet or a facebook message, i’ll be the one replying along with a host of other amazing drupalcon staff members and the global lead [paul johnson](http://www.pauldjohnson.co.uk/).

however, like any other conference attendee, i want to get the most out of the drupalcon experience and collective brain power. because of those ocd tendencies, i made sure to map out my schedule in advance on my calendar. phew! clearly, a busy week!

laissez les bon temps rouler!
