Acquia is the open source digital experience company.
We provide the world’s most ambitious brands with technology that allows them to embrace innovation and create customer moments that matter. At Acquia, we believe in the power of community — giving our customers the freedom to build tomorrow on their terms.

Acquia is helping some of the world’s leading brands succeed, including Twitter, Mercedes Benz, Warner Music Group, and the BBC. More than 4,000 organizations are using Acquia’s solutions for content, community and commerce.

The first step to creating better experiences is listening to what your customers are telling you when they open an email, visit a web page or add an item to their online shopping cart.

Today, brands collect so much customer data in digital interactions that the primary challenge to effective digital experience comes down to a brand’s ability to work with it. With so many data points scattered across digital channels, it can be a struggle to know if you’ve got the right data and how to use it to drive customer acquisition and boost loyalty.

Customer data platforms (CDPs) are helping marketers like you to meet the challenge, allowing to provide truly personalized customer experiences, even as budgets and regulations tighten.

This webinar from Acquia and TA Digital will answer your questions about leveraging this new way of marketing that delivers immediate returns on your initial investment and enables new capabilities as your use cases expand. We will cover such topics as:

- Understanding your customers and how to reach them in real-time across all channels
- Building a well-orchestrated customer journey to grow customer lifetime value (LTV)
- How CDPs streamline campaign reporting and execution
- Tips on prioritizing your CDP capabilities

Future-proofing Your Marketing Through Better Customer Understanding

Drupal is an open source content management system that’s been consistently evolving to better meet modern technological and user needs. Drupal 10 is the upcoming version to be released this December and it’s time we talked about the move. We called the upgrade to Drupal 9 the easiest upgrade in a decade, but just you wait — the process from D9 to D10 is even more refined. This webinar will cover a spectrum of details regarding the upgrade:

- New flexible default front-end theme, Olivero, providing better experiences for content managers
- Improved administrative experience with new theme, Claro, providing a better experience for site administrators
- Upgraded, easy-to-use rich text WYSIWYG editing experience improvements that make managing content smoother (and prettier)
- Improved core code performance (some modules moved to the contrib space) makes it easier for content creators to manage workstreams
- Code Cleanup - Deprecated code has been removed to streamline the codebase, making Drupal development more consistent
 

>The Upgrade Process from D9 to D10

- Install Upgrade Status
- Complete all steps that upgrade status outlines
- Upgrade Status will let you know when you are complete
- Run Composer Command to update to Drupal 10
- Start using Drupal 10 in non-production environments

While women have never been more influential in Technology Industries than they are today, it’s not quite time to declare “mission accomplished.” Acquia CMO Lynne Capozzi will guide a panel of accomplished Women in Tech leaders in a discussion of the progress made so far, where we’re headed next, how to support the next generation, and much more.

Within this panel we will be joined by 4 Panellists, for a discussion around the following questions & topics:

- Let’s start with some brief introductions –, tell us who you are and your role within your organizations and a bit about your journey to that role? 
- Was there a catalyst in your career that changed the course of your career? 
- Have you seen substantial changes since entering the tech world and now? 
- Impostor syndrome—the idea that you’ve only succeeded due to luck, and not because of your talent or qualifications—was first identified in 1978 by psychologists Pauline Rose Clance and Suzanne Imes. In their paper, they theorized that women were uniquely affected by impostor syndrome. 
Did you ever experience feelings of Imposter Syndrome and how did you overcome? 
How can you effectively manage women who may be experiencing Imposter Syndrome?
