1. CDP: Creating the right content for the right visitor
A presentation by Dan Lopez and Rob Reilley.
About the presentation
Using CDP we will show you how a visitor can be interested in getting more information by clicking on an ad campaign. Once clicked we will show more information from CDP in a form of a pop-up on a personalized Sitecore page. Sitecore page will be customized based on the ad campaign link clicked.
What is CDP?
The Sitecore Customer Data Platform is the full SAAS platform of Sitecore to gather customer data such as website visits or offline interactions. And to make decisions on this data. Thus enabling the customer to deliver custom web experiences to their site visitors.
You use Streams to send data to CDP. To consume data from CDP, use Interactive API's.
Why this presentation is interesting
CDP is rather new for me and I'm looking forward learning more about it. A nice presentation that goes through a real time use-case is a great way to get to know the Sitecore CDP product better.

3. DevOps and governance in Sitecore containers
A presentation by Kelly Rusk.
About the presentation
Running Sitecore in containers brings about a completely new range of DevOps and governance considerations. Learn how to structure your DevOps to go from local development in Docker to deployment in an AKS Cluster with the appropriate post-deployment steps. We'll cover the necessary governance for both releases and production support.
What is Docker, AKS?
Docker is an open platform for developing, shipping, and running applications.
Docker containers are executable units of software that code is packaged in, along with libraries and dependencies. Containerization of an application provides a clean separation of concerns, as developers focus on their application logic and dependencies, while deployment teams focus on deployment and management.
AKS stands for Azure Kubernetes Service and is a cloud orchestration service that allows you to deploy, scale and manage your Docker Containers.
Why this presentation is interesting
We have our fair share of knowledge with Docker Containers and I'm looking forward to see how DevOps integrates with deployment into an AKS cluster.

4. Search unleashed! "Reflektions" on personalized search for XM Cloud
A presentation by Dennis Augustine and Hugo Santos.
About the presentation
Let the dogs out! Join us to discover what's possible when omnichannel content is served up by a best-in-breed recommendation and relevance engine informed by a 360° view of the customer. We've been in the lab with Sitecore Discover (formerly Reflektion), Personalize, and XM Cloud, and the results are explosively awesome! Join us for this session to see for yourself and imagine what else is possible.
What is Sitecore Discover?
Sitecore Discover is a commerce module platform that delivers unique shopping journeys tailored to each shopper’s in-the-moment needs and wants.
Presenting highly targeted products at the right moment - out of thousands of products in a catalog - is the essence of converting a visitor into a buyer.
Why this presentation is interesting
I'm eager to see this presentation that showcases the power of Sitecore Discover combined with Personalize and XM Cloud. Since XM Cloud is also relatively new, it will be nice to have some insights into how it works and operates.
