Sitecore User Group - SUGCAN 2023 wrap up
The inaugural Sitecore User Group Canberra (SUGCAN) was held on Thursday May 11th 2023 with a great turnout of around 40 Canberrans representing public and private sectors.
SUGCAN is a Canberra-based Sitecore user group that provides an open environment to share experiences, ask questions, and network, all while enjoying drinks and snacks at Reload Bar in Canberra City.
SUGCAN is more than just a tech-focused user group. It's a community of Sitecore enthusiasts who are passionate about exploring the full potential of the Sitecore platform. The group is open to anyone who wants to learn more about Sitecore, regardless of their level of expertise. The group meets to discuss various topics related to Sitecore, including personalisation, optimisation, experimentation, data, and digital design.
On the night we heard from Dawn Henry from Sitecore who presented their composable roadmap. Greg Baxter from Aceik on the Composable Customer complete with a demo, Leigh Gittoes from Annex a new Sitecore partner presented new approach to developing Sitecore components – and finally, Mike Marquette from Deloitte Digital spoke with Josh Burns from IP Australia on the ‘Great Digital Divide’ where they explored the delta between the provision of Government services Vs the digital maturity levels we experience as consumers, and how Sitecore can be implemented to generate uplift.
The meetings are informal and provide an opportunity for members to share their experiences, ask questions, and learn from each other. One of the unique aspects of SUGCAN is its focus on creating a welcoming and inclusive environment.
The group is committed to providing a safe and respectful space for all members, regardless of their background or identity, and to new and aspiring Sitecorians. SUGCAN is also committed to fostering a sense of community among its members. The group also organises social events, presentations and networking events, to provide members with an opportunity to connect with each other outside of the regular meetings.
These events are a great way to build relationships and expand your professional network. If you're interested in joining SUGCAN, you can find more information on their website or social media pages. The group is always looking for new members who are passionate about Sitecore and want to learn more about the platform.
Whether you're a seasoned Sitecore expert or just starting out, SUGCAN is the perfect place to connect with like-minded professionals and explore the full potential of Sitecore.
