Convene

Convene is a modern Drupal site template designed for events, conferences, and summits, built entirely using Drupal Canvas components.

It enables organizers to launch high-quality event websites quickly, with a strong focus on structured storytelling, schedule presentation, and speaker visibility, without relying heavily on traditional Drupal configurations like Views.
