# Drupal Foundations



 

 

 

 

Twenty-five years ago, Dries Buytaert built a message board in his college dorm and called it Drupal. In this Engage Denver 2026 keynote, the creator of Drupal and Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of Acquia explains why the same structured content and API-first architecture that once made Drupal feel “heavy” now make it the best CMS for agentic AI workflows and why AI is both the storm and the way through it.
