The conference agenda features hands-on best practices sessions and executive business sessions all focused on helping Asia Pacific organisations succeed with their digital initiatives.
“At Acquia Engage Asia Pacific, the leaders in digital transformation will share their insights, projects and future dreams empowering attendees to deliver innovative, scalable, and best-in-class digital experiences,” said Nicole Stirling, director – marketing Asia Pacific and Japan, Acquia. ”Attendees will have a unique opportunity to learn how to plan, design and deliver digital experiences that support great customer brand experiences and deliver the right content to the right person at the right time.”
CEO Mike Sullivan, CMO Lynne Capozzi, SVP Product Matt Kaplan and VP of Digital Marketing Eric Williamson will be among the Acquia executives featured throughout the conference.
Additional featured speakers include those from leading global brand innovators. Michael Mancuso, head of digital analytics at international fast food restaurant chain Wendy’s, and award-winning user experience professional Luis Andrade, director, digital experience – global marketing at global public safety company, UL, will discuss how to generate great customer experiences and the lessons learned from the front lines of digital platform development. In addition, Jo Collins, digital product & services at Football Federation Australia, will discuss how digital transformation has reinvented national and state club and fan engagement.
Acquia Engage Asia Pacific is sponsored by Avanade, Axelerant, Deloitte Digital, Srijan Technologies and VMLY&R.

“Open source and cloud technologies are driving digital experience innovation across Australia, and Acquia Engage Asia Pacific brings all of the tremendous collective work of today’s digital pros into the spotlight,” said Chris Gibbs, general manager for Acquia Asia Pacific and Japan. “There’s no better opportunity to learn from peers and get firsthand insight into successful digital strategies.
Gibbs continued, “We learned in our inaugural research report on the state of customer experience that more than 60 percent of marketers plan to increase their investments in martech in 2019. Attending Acquia Engage is an imperative for any digital pro to make the most of their digital experience tech spending.”
