Acquia Ignites Enterprise Digital Transformation at Acquia Engage, the Digital Business Conference

BURLINGTON, MA--(Marketwired - Jun 19, 2014) - Acquia, the digital business company, today opened registration for Acquia Engage, the new Acquia customer conference. This November 3-5 in Boston, Acquia Engage will showcase the strategies that are driving success for Acquia customers, providing insight for attendees ranging from the C-suite to digital marketers, strategists, technologists, commerce and customer experience leaders. Attendees will be able to take advantage of three days of keynotes, more than 30 breakout sessions and panel discussions, industry vertical meetups, and networking opportunities.

Digital disruption is creating new challenges in every industry. Yesterday's strategies for commerce and customer engagement are no longer effective; today's on-demand world requires enterprises to provide better customer service with fewer resources. Commerce sites can't merely showroom products; today's digital brands need to pair commerce offers with relevant content to inspire loyalty and grow revenue. Context is king, and there's tremendous pressure to deliver targeted, personalized experiences from the first touchpoints. Acquia Engage is a gathering place for executives to share their strategies for overcoming these challenges and winning in today's digital economy.
