25+ unmissable DrupalCon Denver blogs, podcasts and resources

As the Social Media Lead for DrupalCon Munich I have monitored DrupalCon Denver online with a sharp eye. Indeed I became a volunteer and enjoyed shadowing Matt Tucker as he worked tirelessly to build the audience and encourage participation using the social channels. There seems a concensus online that DrupalCon Denver was one amongst the best Drupal events ever.

Following such a vibrant feature packed conference inevitably comes a wave of new content to consume. To help you cope I have collated as many as I could find into one handy post, enjoy.

Access DrupalCon Denver Sessions

All the sessions from Denver are available either at the original session page on the Denver web site or are collated at Blip. 

Podcasts

As Drupal grows it's great to see the podcasting community flourishing. We now have several enthusiastic podcast journalists at each conference. Here is a summary of the shows published so far. I know more are in the pipeline.
