It’s already that special time of year – Symposium season.

Each year, the Sitecore Symposium program feels bigger and better. The momentum pushes us to bring more as well. And for 2018, Avanade is pulling out all the stops. In fact, our theme this year is all about going big in customer experience: increasing return on investment, accomplishing more with Sitecore technology, and maximizing business impact.

We’re looking forward to engaging with clients, meeting with technology partners, and seeing old friends. So what will we be doing on-site? Here’s a sneak peek at what we’re excited to bring to Orlando:

Celebrating client wins
Awards, amplified: We were thrilled to share the recent announcement that Avanade and several of our clients (Volvo Cars, Merck & Co. and Open Universities Australia) won regional Sitecore Experience Awards. Will we snag any of the global Ultimate Experience Awards to be announced live on-site? All our fingers are crossed.

Volvo rewards: In addition to awards, our client Volvo Cars will be joining us on-stage on Tuesday to share their digital transformation story. Not only will we reveal how a well-established brand is reinventing itself to meet the demands of modern customers, but one lucky Symposium attendee may walk away with a 24-month Care by Volvo subscription.

Sharing insights through speaking sessions
When it comes to customer experience, there is a lot of ground to cover. Attend our track sessions to get our perspectives and practical tips around a variety of topics from content to commerce, accessibility to acceleration, business intelligence, and more. We’ll share what is working well for our global clients, and how other organizations can leverage those solutions.

Plus, Avanade’s own CMO, Stella Goulet, will lead a marketing strategy session that reveals how we and our clients are overcoming some of the most common pitfalls faced by organizations who still struggle to enhance their customer experience.  Check out our full schedule of sessions for the week below.

Meaningful conversations at our booth
If you’ll be at Sitecore Symposium, please spend a few minutes at our booth (#505) on the expo floor.

Food, drinks and knowledge: dive deeper into our track sessions during our revolving coffee breaks and happy hours each day. Refuel and learn more from our on-stage presenters during these interactive breaks.

In-depth demos and Q&As: Talk is cheap. We’ll put our (digital) pencils to (digital) paper to show the how, not just the what, that makes our clients successful. Throughout each day, see our rotating booth demos to find out how we’re helping brands innovate with personalization and intelligent search experiences, cloud, headless CMS, digital utilities experiences, managed services at scale, and more. Learn more on our Techs & Specs blog. 

This is just the beginning. The Avanade team has a great deal lined up for this year’s Symposium, including some surprises and giveaways sprinkled in-between these sessions and demos. You won’t want to miss a thing, so meet us in person and follow @AvanadeInc live as we share updates throughout the week.

What are we most excited about? Partnering with our clients to help them share their incredible success stories, and meeting with you to find new ways to enhance your own customer experience. Please come by and say hello.
