Large organisations like councils, governments, universities have always needed to run a varying number of small websites. However, these are often on disparate technologies, maintained by disparate individuals and companies and quickly become inconsistent and out of date.
Let's take the pain of managing a fleet of microsites away and manage them all from one Drupal installation - the LocalGov Drupal Microsites platform.

Prerequisite
None, but helpful to have an interest in running a fleet of microsites from a single Drupal installation.

Outline
Let's have a look at the LocalGov Drupal Microsites distribution. The microsites platform was built by local government organisations (councils) in the UK, but is a great fit for any organisation that would like to centralise their web estate, not just local government!
We'll see how you can have one central platform to run all your sites - no more wondering who has the keys to any individual site.
We'll see how you can customise the look and feel of each site in your portfolio in the browser, without the need for front-end developers.
We'll then see how we can specify a custom theme to ensure some sites remain true to your brand guidelines, rather than each site being nearly the same.
We’ll also look briefly at the organisations behind this distribution and the open source collaboration between councils, suppliers and Open Digital Cooperative that coordinates continued support and development.
And we'll have time for a Q&A!
