ATLANTA, GA — (Marketwire) — 09/27/12 — The Atlanta Drupal Business Summit, to be held October 26, will be discussing how to unlock mobile for online success. The Atlanta Drupal Business Summit takes place at the Cobb Galleria on Friday, October 26, from 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM. This event brings together business leaders and technology strategists to discuss business solutions built with Drupal and sharing real-world examples, lessons learned and best practices. Among the featured examples is Georgia.gov, the first state portal in the country to be powered by Drupal, which runs websites for both the White House and US House of Representatives and will save about $4.6 million.

The conference will also feature afternoon Peer-to-Peer Networking Breakout Sessions and a Cocktail Reception immediately after the event. Breakfast and lunch will be provided. To register for this free conference, visit: http://atldrupalsummit.eventbrite.com/.

“Drupal is the leading open source content management platform for business benefits, rapid technology advancement and long-term ROI,” says Jim Caruso, CEO of MediaFirst and an avid Drupal Association member. “Attending this event is an easy, local way to learn the value of Drupal as a go-to platform for business.”

Josh Clark is a popular speaker, mobile web designer and author of numerous books on mobile apps. He even created a very popular running program, “Couch-to-5K,” (C25K) that helped millions of people take up jogging. Josh’s talk, titled, “The Seven Deadly Myths of Mobile,” will explain the difficult craft of designing simple interfaces for complex mobile apps, and will share techniques for future-friendly mobile efforts while debunking seven stubborn mobile myths. Attendees will learn why smart approaches to content management systems and publishing tools are the key to unlocking multi-device magic and how to overcome the challenges of mobile for content workflow, storage, and transport.
