Sitecore kicked off the day with a special announcement of three new product offerings:

1. Sitecore Search - AI website search not to be confused with Sitecore Discover (AI commerce search)
2. Content Hub One - a pure-play headless content management system
3. Sitecore Connect - a drag-and-drop interface for integrating apps/tools both within and outside the Sitecore ecosystem

You can learn more about Sitecore's three public cloud products on Sitecore's website.

Other notables:

• Sitecore deepens its partnership with Accenture
• Sitecore is giving away limited edition pillows each day. Get the app to play.
• Konabos held an unofficial party (what happens in Chicago...🤐)

Today at the Sitecore Symposium...

• Sitecore’s Chief Product Officer, Dave O’Flanagan, embraces a composable future and announced some incredible updates that he and his product team have worked hard to release. After three years of transitions and acquisitions, the Sitecore platform is looking more and more like a best-in-class composable DXP.
• Anne Guichard, Global Head of Digital at L'Oreal had this to say, "We are experiencing a shift from a product focus to an experience and customer focus. At the center is content."
• Sitecore says, "XM Cloud includes integrated Personalization, Testing, and Real-time Analytics"
• Akshay Sura says, "Looking forward to the authoring experiences in XM Cloud - components can pull content from Sitecore and other CMSes as long as they have a GraphQL endpoint"
• Mindy Kaling says, "be your authentic self - speak your truths" - this also applies to your brand
• Sitecore Experience Platform (XP) 10.3 is available now! On-prem customers can also anticipate Sitecore version 10.4 coming out next year. 😎 

WOW! It's hard to believe that the Sitecore Symposium has come to an end! Well, unless you're an MVP and sticking around for the Sitecore MVP Summit. 

In any event, there were so many great speakers and breakout sessions this year which made it impossible to cover them all, including our very own by Kamruz Jaman, Akshay Sura, and Hugo Santos. You just have to come next year and experience symposium for yourself.

Kamruz and Akshay kicked off our breakout sessions in the morning (to a packed house), by discussing the "Road to Composable", the lessons learned helping clients since 2019 pivot to composable DXP architectures, and shared how Sitecore's XM Cloud and its latest announcement of Content Hub One fit into the picture.

Hugo and Akshay spoke in the afternoon and gave tips for "Search Unleashed" and how Sitecore's Discover product (formerly Reflektion) combined with Sitecore CDP+Personalize can create unbelievable visitor experiences and keep folks on your website longer for better conversions.

Interestingly, there was no closing keynote as in previous years, so knowing where next year's symposium in 2023 is going to be held will be a wonderful surprise. See you next year!

Most of what happens at the Sitecore MVP Summit is confidential and proprietary, but what we can say, is that there is plenty of great conversation and Konabos partner, Kamruz Jaman received his 10-Year Sitecore MVP Award! Congratulations Kamruz!
