๐ Connecting, Innovating, and Presenting: Bluesoft at Kentico Partner Connection 2024
This year, we decided to attend both Kentico Partner Connections — in Prague and Miami. These exclusive events, tailored for Kentico partners, offered a deep dive into Xperience by Kentico and provided a platform to connect with industry experts, fellow partners, and Kentico’s team.
We also got the opportunity to present on the technical stage.
๐๏ธ Ecommerce bridge between the new Xperience by Kentico and Kentico Xperience 13: Our CTO Milan Sustek
The optimal solution is native ecommerce of course, but while XbK is being actively expanded (just check out their packed roadmap), there is a bridge connecting existing KX13 ecommerce functionalities with the powerful, modernized framework of Xperience by Kentico. Our CTO, Milan Sustek explained the architecture, functionalities and an in-progress case-study we have in development right now. This integration can smooth a transition and maximize business potential with Kentico’s latest platform. Want to know more about it? Reach out to us!
๐ The Evolving Xperience by Kentico
This year’s agenda was laser-focused on Xperience by Kentico, showcasing its capabilities as a Digital Experience Platform (DXP). Because we've already become quite familiar with XbK thanks to our most recent projects, we got to focus on the deep-dives, networking and future plans. We've completed the new Sales certification and are excited for the teased Marketers certification. A very interesting highlight, giving insight into the future of XbK, was the AI assistant AIRA. In the future it should ease the workload of marketers and connect their own workspaces to the admin of XbK. They used this new feature very ambissiosly - with a live, interactive DEMO event app. The available app with AI chat assistant let us compte against each other with quizes or ask questions about the evetn. You can read more about the AIRA project here.
Key highlights from the events included:
๐ต A deep dive into market trends, including the growing trend of CMS platforms consolidating and expanding into DXPs.
๐ต Hands-on practical sessions, such as 11 and a half tips for upgrading to Xperience by Kentico by Brian McKeiver and practical strategies for migrating from older versions, presented by Trevor Fayas.
Beyond the Presentations
The Partner Connections weren’t just about learning—they were about building relationships. From engaging discussions during sessions to shared jokes and ideas over dinner, these moments underscored the collaborative spirit that defines Kentico and its partner community.
Our Sales Manager summed it up best: "A great event filled with insights, innovation, and fun. We can’t wait to be back next year!”
Looking Ahead
As we return to our daily projects, we’re inspired by Kentico’s commitment to pushing boundaries and fostering growth. For us at Bluesoft, these events reaffirm our dedication to leveraging Xperience by Kentico to deliver cutting-edge solutions for our clients.
