Keynote: Lessons from the canvas - Dodging the digital wasteland
For digital experiences to suck less... For your website to stop being so incredibly boring... You need to transform your world of incremental improvements, reliance on CRO tactics, and cut through all internal fights over who gets to have the most pixels on your homepage.
Design thinking and other innovation processes helped. But those methods don't always lead to high-quality digital moments.
This opening keynote will tell you about those who know the most about how to insist on the quality of the end result of your digital experiences.

Digital Experience is a team sport
Join us for an insightful discussion on the evolution of digital experience platforms (DXP) and the importance of inclusive collaboration among all team members.
The traditional approach of the monolithic DXP, while catering to marketers, often neglected the developer experience.
As a result, the industry witnessed a shift towards SaaS headless CMS tools designed exclusively for developers, inadvertently leaving marketers behind.
Pieter will shed light on Sitecore's visionary perspective on the future of DXPs—the concept of a composable DXP.
Sitecore recognizes the significance of embracing a team-oriented approach to building compelling digital experiences. Whether you're a business leader, marketer, IT professional, or developer, Sitecore's vision focuses on the needs of every team member.
In this session you will gain valuable insights into how Sitecore is bridging the gap between marketers and developers, fostering collaboration, and empowering every individual involved in the digital experience journey.

Don’t get stuck on legacy. The real story about composable and agency dependencies
Developing a modern and composable setup drives many new challenges, that you need to understand and mitigate – suchs as:
- More vendors - More complexity
- More orchestration - More custom code
- More custom code - More agency lock-in
In world where composability and MACH is on many agendas, it is important to understand the actual business needs and how you in the future can avoid many of the pitfalls of complexity, custom code/technical debt and agency lock-in.
Peter Munk (Global Equistrian Group) and Toke Lund (Enterspeed) has both worked in the LEGO Group and Salling Group together, and nowadays they are engaging in a customer and buyer relationship with the clear target of simplifying the tech stack (incl. CMS), use standards and avoiding agency lock-in.
