Upgrading a site to the latest major core release can be a difficult time, with some huge changes that often require a complete rebuild of the site. I'll guide you through the process to help you plan upgrading a site from Drupal 6, 7 or 8 to Drupal 9.

This presentation will be aimed for site builders who are comfortable working with a copy of their site locally on their computer, and are comfortable downloading files from the Drupal website. They should also be comfortable using a simple text editor to edit some simple text files, e.g. Nodepad, Nano, Text Edit. Ideally they should also feel a little comfortable running commands like "Drush", but copy & paste afficionados will not be excluded.

Attendees will learn how to upgrade their site from Drupal 6, 7 or 8 to the latest Drupal 9, how to build a plan around the upgrade, identify known tasks and learn how to handle issues that might pop up along the way. Attendees will then have working knowledge on how to begin upgrading their own site to Drupal 9.
