# It's almost time for MidCamp! Are you going (because you should!)



       ![MidCamp March 24-27](/sites/default/files/styles/homepage_/public/2021-03/Screen%20Shot%202021-03-10%20at%2011.45.10%20AM.png?itok=5RPGRaZ6) 

 

[**MidCamp is coming!**](https://www.midcamp.org/2021/article/midcamp-2021-its-you) MidCamp is coming! MidCamp is coming! I hope to see you there (virtually) from March 24th - 27th.

I know in a previous blog post I claimed Florida DrupalCamp was *the best* Drupal camp ever, but it is really MidCamp. (Kidding, they're both amazing and my two favorite Drupal camps and have a special place in my heart and history with the Drupal community.)

This year the organizers have put an interesting spin on the event – each day represents a different style and format. There isn't even an official formal call for papers.

- **Wednesday - Get Started With Drupal.** There are a series of sessions that help give new attendees an introduction to Drupal and the community and connect for mentorships.
- **Thursday - Meet the Drupal Community.** Thursday looks to be a fun day full of "human time" virtual activities. [Avi](https://www.drupal.org/u/froboy) proposed a Zoom walk. Get out, take a walk with friends, and show off your neighborhood.
- **Friday - Share Your Knowledge.** This is the official day of sessions in an unconference format. Not sure what an unconference is like? They explain it pretty well on the [Friday schedule page](https://www.midcamp.org/2021/share-your-knowledge).

See the full schedule details here: <https://www.midcamp.org/2021/schedule>

I miss my Midwest folks (and those who travel from afar to join each year, as well.) So I am pretty excited about the format this year as it feels very social.

There is **one more** reason I am excited. This is my first year with [Bluehorn Digital](https://bluehorn.digital/) and I am also bringing two folks who are brand new to Drupal. I have been fortunate enough to work with a client that enabled me to hire two individuals looking to break out of their current career and into development. Right now they're working on a Laravel application, but I **cannot wait** to get them introduced to Drupal and the Drupal community. (🤞 maybe next year we won't only attend in person but as more than just contractors.)

I write about Drupal, PHP, and the quiet infrastructure behind large sites — caching, config, and testing. New posts land every week or two.
