Experience: 
Intermediate

Whether you’re embracing it or bracing yourself for it, Drupal 7 has arrived. If it hasn’t happened already, you’ll soon find yourself fielding questions from your clients about D6 to D7 upgrades, so it’s time to get prepared.

In this session, we’ll walk you through a real-life example of upgrading a site from D6 to D7. We’ll also cover how we successfully migrated over 100 subsites at once. We’ll talk about the dos and don’ts of upgrading to D7, best practices and how you can painlessly (and fearlessly!) welcome D7 to the world.

Intended audience: 

Developers and site owners who face the migration from D6 to D7 for their projects.
