8.  Past attendees are already getting excited about coming back to Synergy.  Just watch the posts on our #Ektron Twitter stream ramping up over the Summer.  What do they know that you should  know?  Check out these presentations from last year’s sessions to get a taste of what Synergy 2011 will deliver. 

7.  Rub elbows with Ektron engineers, developers and other members of the product team.  The technical Developer track sessions at Synergy are presented by the Ektron developers, architects, and project managers  who work directly on product features. Bring your list of questions and your feedback for the people at Ektron charged with building and improving our product. 

6.  Understand Ektron’s features and benefits from a marketing perspective.  Synergy is both  a technical conference and a business conference.  If words like Smart Forms and taxonomies leave you cold but you get excited learning about content targeting, building online experiences and increasing conversions, the Marketing track of Synergy 2011 is for you to learn how to harness the power of Ektron for your marketing needs.

5.  Discover how your peers are implementing Ektron.  One of the most popular elements at every Synergy is  the opportunity to discuss experiences, best practices, tips and techniques with people just like you, professionals using Ektron’s technology every day.  From formal presentations to informal networking events, learn how businesses, non-profits, educational institutions and organizations like yours are getting the most from their Ektron investment. 

4.  Stay ahead of the curve. See what features are coming in the new version of Ektron and understand what they mean for you.  A ‘sneak peak” into Ektron’s future plans will help you empower your Web development and marketing teams with the knowledge they need  to be more efficient and effective at delivering your Web strategies.   

3.  Become the thought leader in your company on the future of your WCM.  Web content management is evolving from, “How do I manage my web content”  to “How do I produce rich, dynamic, contextual, engaging experiences? “  and Ektron is establishing itself as a leader in creating that future for WCM.  At Synergy, you’ll learn how to become the catalyst for change in your organization to set the direction of your own WCM future strategy.

2.  Tour a sparkling Partner and Exhibitor Showcase.  Looking for new ideas and solutions for your Web projects?  Planning on building or refreshing a site but are concerned about limited internal resources?

1.  Surprise, surprise.  Expect a few surprises at Synergy 2011.  What are they?  That would be telling… although maybe one may have something to do with the Number 9.  But the only way for you to find out is to register today.
