Row, Row, Row Your Rows: Surviving Multi-Agency Government Drupal Migrations

Migrating a single Drupal site is hard enough. Migrating dozens of government agency sites, each with their own legacy inconsistencies, unique data quirks, and real public-sector stakes is a different animal entirely.

This session is built from the accumulated lessons of multiple large-scale government migrations: what you actually need to get moving, where projects stall, and what a mature migration playbook looks like when you've built one through hard experience.

We'll cover the fastest way to get paddling down the stream at scale, the surprisingly tricky data transitions that trip up experienced teams, file migration strategies that hold up under pressure, and how to structure multi-site engagements so knowledge compounds across projects rather than getting rediscovered each time.

Whether you're staring down your first big migration or your fifth, you'll walk away with patterns you can put to work immediately.
