Drupal 7 is upon us and, like so many things, this release makes some significant changes in the way you need to optimize your site for Google and the other search engines. But D6 is still alive and kicking! Come to one session and learn both. Ben Finklea, author of Drupal 6 Search Engine Optimization (and its forthcoming sequel), and Ivo Radulovski, a leading SEO consultant in Austria, will show you what needs to be done, what is changing, and how to get on top of the awesomeness that is Drupal SEO.

Running a Drupal consulting firm requires much more than Drupal development or design skills. You need excellent customer service, sales, project management, operations, accounting, recruiting, human resources — the list is huge! So how do successful Drupal firms make it all work?

We'll look past Drupal for an hour and focus on what it takes to run a successful consulting firm. We've assembled a top-notch panel of Drupal firm owners and managers to discuss what works for them and why. Addison Berry of Lullabot will moderate the discussion, and the floor will be open for questions.
