SUGCH 2019/1 - Event Summary and Outlook
It’s already a while since we all came together by the end of April. No less than 30 (yes, that’s a new all time high!) Sitecore enthusiasts met in Baden at the friendly host Infocentric.
TL;DR: As usual here’s a short summary of the presentations. And this time, we can already announce the next meetup. Scroll down to learn more ;-)

Preventing Accidents with the Help of Marketing Automation and EXM
Andreas Baumgartner & Christoph Brunner presented their real world Sitecore marketing automation and Email Experience Manager use case and had some great insights on what worked and what not.

Field Whitelisting - An Approach to Prevent Field Creep
Markus Klimmasch introduced us to his novel approach on Sitecore Field Whitelisting to clean up the authoring experience in the Content Editor. Visit his blogpost for a nice summary on the topic.

Elevate publishing to social media channels thanks to a direct integration with Sitecore 9.x and Sitecore Experience Analytics
Last but not least, Oliver Raduner introduced us to a module that allows integrated publishing to social media channels from within Sitecore. A feature, that was provided out-of-the-box by Sitecore for some time, but then was removed again. If you’re missing this, check out his presentation!

Round Tables
Round tables seemed to work well, so we again had some interesting and engaging discussions going on. We’ve discussed topics, ranging from “ORMs, Wrappers or the Habitat way” to the future of headless Sitecore solutions (aka JSS) and more.
SUGCH 2019/2 is coming!
While you’re hopefully enjoying the summer sun and sipping cool drinks in the evenings, we kindly ask you to quickly switch to your agenda screen and save the date for the upcoming SUGCH on the 4th of October!
We’ll have some exciting speakers to meet: Akshay Sura and Jason Wilkerson are repeating their SUG EU Tour. And this time, Mark Cassidy is joining them, too.
Make sure to sign up early on Eventbrite. We’ve opened the registration already and it’s limited to 40 attendees for now. By signing up early you allow us to carefully plan for catering, thank you!
