Taking on the theme of "inspire" this year, the conference aims to shift the focus away from a traditional business event atmosphere and use the gathering as an opportunity to bring attention to the outstanding people and brilliant ideas that make Pimcore unique. Attendees can expect to walk away with valuable key insights and knowledge around the future of data management and digital experience management, especially with this year's lineup of renowned keynote speakers. This year's roster includes:

• Dietmar Rietsch, Pimcore's own CEO and co-founder, will deliver his keynote on the topic, "Own the Digital World," which will dive deeper into how Pimcore's founders built the open-source powered platform. With more than 23 years of experience in the industry, Dietmar will share the story of Pimcore, touching on both the hurdles and successes the team faced in growing a successful software company.
• Mike Lowndes, Senior Director Analyst at Gartner, will discuss "The Future of Digital Experience Platforms," where he will explore how attendees can be prepared for emerging changes in DXP.

• George Lawrie, VP and Principal Analyst at Forrester, will share "What you need to know about the role of Product Information Management in Customer Experience," where attendees will learn about trends such as "headless commerce" and the skills partners need to deliver content-rich, compelling customer engagements on behalf of clients. Lawrie is a methodical, analytical and results-driven strategic leader with 37 years of experience in the areas of technology research and advising.

More than 20 partner agencies will also share Pimcore case studies, in addition to group panel discussions about the future of digital experience management and product information management. At this year's dinner event, partners have a chance to win one of five awards as well, recognizing top community members, solutions and technology partners, among others.

"For us, partners are like friends and family, and to be able to celebrate their achievements and create a space where we can all connect as a group is extremely important to us," said Shashin Shah, CEO of Pimcore. "We keep close relationships with and value our partners, because they are the key influencers and multiplicators, spreading the word about our product and mission. The purpose of this conference is to give our partners the opportunity to meet and collaborate with our founding team in person and network with other partners. We want them to walk away from this experience with the knowledge and expertise surrounding the future of digital experience management so they can go back and share it with their organizations."
