Magento, an Adobe company organized its biggest annual event – Magento Imagine from 13-15 May 2019 in Las Vegas. This three-day global Magento conference brought together more than 3,500 eCommerce industry experts, merchants, retailers, agencies, and developers from around 60+ countries all over the world.
Ranosys, a Magento Professional Solution Partner and an active contributor to the Magento Community, joined the event as a Silver Sponsor.
Magento Imagine 2019 kicked off with the Big Dam Run 2019 – a 5k run/walk. Team Ranosys also joined the Magento crew and ran the Big Dam Run. This run provided us with an opportunity to have meaningful conversations with industry influencers.
The conference commenced with a General Session by Philip Jackson, Ecommerce Evangelist and Digital Strategist, who talked about how to expand the opportunity that is available to you. Gary Specter, VP Commerce Sales, praised the exceptional contribution of Mark Lavelle (Magento’s CEO) and the Magento Community.
Many veterans from the Magento ecosystem such as Jason Woosley, Michele Miller, Gloria Chen, Max Long, etc. took the stage to share the latest announcements, impart their experience and knowledge, and engage with the audience. The event was full of announcements about Page Builder, Progressive Web Apps, Adobe Sensei, Magento Commerce Cloud, Omnichannel Order Management, and much more. Some important announcements were:
- Integration of Adobe Sensei with Magento Commerce
- A community-driven project: Adobe experience platform extension was announced to enable merchants to create smarter workflows and drive deeper insights.
- Native integration of PWA studio’s to Paypal’s Braintree
- General availability of the Google Ads shopping and Amazon sales channels
The conference concluded with a legendary after-party at Encore Beach Club to give attendees the much-needed relaxation and allow them to socialize with each other, amidst the beauty of water lounges and cabanas.
Indeed, Magento Imagine 2019 was a phenomenal experience and a great opportunity for team Ranosys to meet global Magento Community and learn the latest Magento trends through insightful talks & keynotes. We are looking forward to meeting you all at another Magento event soon!
