Panel: Recruiting, growing, and keeping Drupal developers

The demand for Drupal knowledge is higher than it has ever been, and there's a shortage of Drupal talent. While this seems like an ideal situation for current Drupal developers, it presents a challenge for businesses that are wanting to either implement a new Drupal solution or maintain an existing one.

This panel will share the experiences of both Drupal developers and the business leads of Drupal shops.

This panel is intended for technical leads, managers, and recruiters who are tasked with building a team of Drupal talent.

Who wouldn't attend ?

Really, I know I will, this is one of the key challenges for any Drupal shop I think and I am curious to listen and possibly discuss afterwards about succesful solutions and strategies.

Interested in helping

This is something I've thought about for a while now, and I'd be happy to share my thoughts/experiences from our first 3 years of business.
