6.40 – 7.25 – Mike Reynolds -From Forms to Riches: Sitecore Experience Forms

WFFM is dead. Long live Forms. One of the most popular Sitecore modules has finally been given a modern overhaul. Moving from a mature module presents both great opportunity but also new challenges trying to replicate well established business processes. What the new Experience Forms means to you and the power behind it.

7.30 – 8.15 – Corey Smith & Rick Bauer - JavaScript Services and Marketing Automation

Sitecore MVPs Corey Smith and Rick Bauer provide a wide-angle view of JSS and Sitecore Marketing Automation. Focusing on developers, this session provides a high-level understanding of what the end product of Sitecore Marketing Automation should look like from a marketer's perspective based on real-world use cases. Then we'll pop open the hood and show how it was achieved using JSS, including tips, tricks, and lessons learned.

This will be accompanied by refreshments and nibbles with a subsequent adjournment to a nearby bar for continued discussion
