SUGPL#8 - xCommerce Speaker and organizator

It was time to start the new year with our Sitecore community! To do that we have organized new SUGPL meetup in Białystok.

Moreover, I was one of the speakers on this event, where I have presented xCommerce architecture which can be modified during customizations.

As we can see above I was the first presenter of this meetup. My main goal of the presentation was to let people know how xCommerce is built and where they can put own code to make it custom. What is the flow of xCommerce and how they can change it.

Make xCommerce fit to you from Robert Debowski

The second presentation was made by Artsem Prashkovich who described Sitecore Service Bus.

The third presentation prepared Jakub Koba who talked about Machine Learning in Sitecore

After charging of new knowledge as usual we have started SUGPL after party, where our guests from Belarus SUG join as well. Good time with excellent people, it's worth to repeat as many times as it can be!

Cheers!

SUGPL #6 Białystok - Organizator feelings

Our SUGPL operates very dynamically, hence we had a new meetup! This time, Białystok! For me it was special, because I was generally responsible for organization. It sounds proudly ;)

Organizers feelings, well, you have to do everything and think about everything. It remind my my wedding in some way :) But I like it! Because of that feelings and activities I want to do it!

It also worthy to notice that we had high attendance, but moreover we saw a lot of new faces, what is even better in that. I hope it will start a new journey for some people to became a dynamic part of our Sitecore User Group Poland.

Besides the community, we had 3 great presentations. Two of them was presented by our friends from Belarus - Alexei Vershalovich and Andrei Paliakou. The third one has presented my close friend - Tomasz Juranek.

During first presentation Alexi was describing Marketing Automation in Omni Channel. Great topic that he mentioned during last SUGCON in Berlin. It was an opportunity for other people that join this event to hear a lot of very interesting things, how we connect Sitecore in so many ways.

Nest speaker was Tomasz Juranek whom presentation topic was "Sitecore Forms and Marketing Automation in practice". Tomasz has shown us haw we can use this two tools and combination of them to achieve our business goals and be better marketing masters :)

At the end presenter was Andrei, Commerce MVP who presented topic "Sitecore Experience Commerce 9 - expectations and reality". He has described how many differences have been made in new xCommerce and how improvement it contains currently. Great to see that !

When we finished all presentations it was time for afterparty! It was good to talk with earlier mentioned new faces

As picture shows, a lot of smile on the faces so it had to be good time :) I hope we will see all together in next meetups as well!

Thank you all!

Winners of Sitecore Hackathon 2018 - Feel like a star- SUGCON Berlin 2018

Hi all!

In this post I would like to share with you my memories from lat SUGCON which was placed in Berlin, Germany.

At the beginning I would like to say it was one of the best time I've ever had in my professional 'career' ;) Hence, my description could be a little bit subjective :) , but in other hand it should be a better motivation for those, who haven't attend in this conference to change it and join!

First of all,

Berlin

It was my first visit in this city. The main building which dominates over others is Berlin TV Tower, besides that I was surprised what a beautiful old town there is, so small stroll was a pure pleasure. Just take a look on pictures below.

Conference

It has started like good party in the club. I felt this power in the air.

It's good point to notice that before the conference has started, we had an opportunity to pass Sitecore Certification exam on the newest Sitecore 9 version. That was 1st success during that days, new Sitecore 9 certificate.

Also I would like to congratulates for the organizers for whole services like catering, which were on really top level. Perfect job guys !

Presentations

Hard to cover all topic were available during this two days, we can mention GraphQL with JSS team, Marketing Automation by Alexi Vershalovich and of course presentation about SIX by Robert Senktas, my good mate from SUGPL community and same company as well :)

If you are more interested in SIX, try to check this link: SIX

Hackathon 2018 - Winners Announcements

Akshay Sura has come on the stage and after little kick of he announced that this year Sitecore Hackathon won... LasVegans!!! What means, my team!

I would like to thanks my partners, Tomasz Juranek and Wojciech Urban who has this motivation, power and trust to build together solution that win competition this year!

One more time, Thanks guys !

Afterparty

After all of peresentations, I have still felt endless joy. Attendees could met at hotel lobby (which was really good and huge) and what we did.

Great time, great people ! :)

Who still haven't been on SUGCON or is wondering is it worth to go, I definitely recommend to take bag, put some clothes, book tickets and meet together in London in 2019.

Hope we will see next year !
