Past Present and Future of Event Registration in Drupal
A quick introduction to the RNG module is what is out for D8.
For event registration, the signup module worked just fine for Drupal 6. Once Drupal 7 came around, Entity Registration was the go-to module. Kaleem will demo cetl.kennesaw.edu site and how we use Enitity Registration. Then will demo a D8 install of RNG and its features.

So you need a Drupal 8 theme and you need it fast. Only one problem—you’ve never worked with Drupal 8 before. And maybe you don’t have the time to delve into all its intricacies. Fortunately, it is really easy to seamlessly integrate front end frameworks into Drupal 8.
In this session we’ll explore using Zurb Foundation 6 to create a custom Drupal 8 theme. Foundation 6 was released in November 2015, and delivers a lean system that aims to reduce complexity, improve accessibility, and provide tools that are becoming standards in Drupal theme development.
Topics we’ll cover:
Provide a quick intro to the top features of the Zurb Foundation framework and its customizability.
Create a custom responsive theme using parts of the “Stable” theme with css and javascript from Foundation.
Investigate the build tools delivered with the Zurb template, and how you can use their package to include prototypes, and a style guide within your Drupal 8 theme.
Compare the contributed Drupal Foundation theme with the custom approach.
After attending this session you’ll have a great path forward for standing up a Drupal 8 theme that easily integrates modern front end tools, and delivers a powerful framework to jumpstart your project.
This session is intended for front end developers who are new to Drupal but fans of Foundation or to Drupal front end developers who are new to D8 and want to create a custom theme.

Description
Back in the Drupal 7 days (aka last year), we came across some pretty large, hard-to-maintain Drupal 7 sites. The theme was often responsible for a lot of the cruft. We saw themes with excess code, too many template files, and not enough documentation.
The Drupal 8 theme layer provides new features like libraries and Twig blocks that can help us to build cleaner, better-organized themes. So now is a good time for themers to re-visit which theming techniques to use to create themes that are smaller, maintainable, and well organized.
In this session, we’ll cover some of these features and look at specific examples of how to apply them in real-world themes:
Creating libraries to load CSS and JS in different contexts
Extending existing libraries
Using breakpoints consistently
When to use view modes
How to use Twig blocks to reduce template code
When to use templates vs. preprocess functions
Why/how to use theme settings
