SUGCON INDIA 2023 Weddings in the Cloud with Sitecore Connect

Last month (24th-25th Aug, 2023) I got the opportunity to attend and present at Sitecore User Group Conference India (SUGCON) 2023 event at The Grand, New Delhi.

The event was very well organized and Kudos to the organizers and community for giving us this wonderful learning experience. It was two days full of Sitecore Excellence.

Day 1 (24th Aug, 2023) started with the Paid training on “Introduction to XM Cloud Pages”, it was an informative and great 2 hrs session (8 AM-10 AM) to start your SUGCON. I also attended this session and found it really useful.

SUGCON India 2023 Agenda

Agenda was quite impressive and there were sessions related to Headless, XM Cloud, GraphQL etc, It wasn’t possible to attend all the sessions as there were multiple sessions running in parallel, but we tried to attend and get an overview from most of the sessions as much as possible.
