We are extremely elated to announce the February meetup of the Queen City Sitecore User Group!
Join us for food, great company and cheer as we watch amazing presentations from two notable members of the Sitecore community!
How do I get in?
The Sandbox Collaborative is located on the 5th floor of 1230 Elm St. in Manchester, NH. You can use the elevator (lift) or the many many stairs!
Agenda:
6:00 pm - 6:15 pm Food/networking/introduction
6:15 pm - 7:00 pm Introducing SitecoreUML - Zachary Kniebel, EPAM
SitecoreUML is a productivity tool that enables architects to create Sitecore templates directly from their UML diagrams, as well as export an existing Sitecore solution’s template architecture and generate UML diagrams from it. It's great for creating template architectures, auditing existing architectures, and creating detailed documentation that can be updated in just two clicks!
7:00 pm - 7:15 pm Break
7:15 pm - 8:00 pm Sitecore Cortex - Fred Schwaner, John Hobart and Michael Thompson, Coria Inc.
Sitecore Cortex got some serious buzz at the 2017 Symposium. The question is, are we - as marketers - ready for it? Are we collecting the right data? What the heck is a neural network, anyway? We'll share steps you take today to prepare your marketing machine to take full advantage of Cortex when it is released.
