Following you can find my highlights and interested-in sessions for the coming week in the three sitecore events going on, go through and join me if you like any (which I'm sure you will :)): 

MVP Summit:

MVPs get an Exclusive Invitation to the MVP Summit, The Summit is executive insight to product and company strategy with lots of networking and fun activities.

A great open Q&A session with the  Sitecore team, brings up a lot of interesting discussions and clarified some more details of where Sitecore is heading with certain parts of the product.

In the summit we get to know the roadmaps for the different products, features, fixes and new strategies which help us guide our clients to best route possible. 

For me, I'm already looking to know more about XM Cloud, future plans, features and roadmap, so I will be looking out for related sessions. 

Sitecore DX: 

Definitely Looking forward for our Sitecore Practice director Jonathan Price session speaking with our client United Airlines about integration of Sitecore XM, Personalize, and CDP, definitely not to be missed session, inviting  everyone to attend that one!
