Drupal Mountain Camp Davos 2025: if there's a heaven, it looks like this

Drupal Mountain Camp 2025 in Davos Klosters: skiing, an AI panel, a no-code AI workshop where 85% of participants had a RAG setup running by the end, fondue, and a Nebelmeer view.

That's what I was thinking while going down the slopes in Davos Klosters. The previous two weeks had been very stressful. Next week, I was diving straight back in. But this week? The contrast couldn't have been bigger.

The sessions

Being in the AI panel was a good conversation. And then the workshop.

Thanks to Mountain Camp for letting me run my no-code AI workshop. By the end, 85% of participants had a RAG setup running with multiple AI integrations locally. I'll consider that a success.

Inspiring networking too: Lauri Timmanee on Figma to XB, AI lifecycle management, and catching up with Mikko Hämäläinen, Ursin Cola, and others.

Ending it all with fondue and a Nebelmeer view.

The event quality was top notch across the board: food, fruit, sessions, media material. That attention to detail is what makes Mountain Camp stand out. And it's great to see the enthusiasm in the Swiss Drupal community. Thank you Mountain Camp.
