Technical Talks

What a Difference a Year Makes: Beginner Extensions to Best-Practice SuiteApps (DEV1244SES)

Steve Goldberg, Project Manager of NetSuite Ecommerce is co-presenting with Juan Carlos Silva Otero, a principal software engineer, also in the commerce team.

Last year, Joaquín Gatica and Goldberg gave a presentation introducing the commerce extension framework, and, this year, Otero and Goldberg are going to build on that foundation by talking about the developments that have happened since then.

Importantly, Otero is going to be delivering a lot of new information on NetSuite's best practices, what they've learned from a year of developing official NetSuite extensions, and what the future holds for extension development.

Speed Up Your Site: Optimizing Ecommerce Performance (DEV1086SES)

Ecommerce performance sessions at SuiteWorld are usually among the most popular and highly recommended sessions, and with good reason. Every year NetSuite performance engineers deliver top insights into how they're working hard to provide the means for customers to unblock performance bottlenecks.

This year, one of NetSuite's senior performance engineers, Martin Przepiorka, is joined by Juraj Baric, a senior product manager in the NetSuite commerce platform team. Not only will this presentation deliver invaluable advice about the work you can be doing to improve your site, but you'll also get a look at the new tools that Baric's team is providing, and the work they're doing behind the scenes to domain configuration, security certificates, caching, and more.

Ask The Experts: SuiteCloud and Commerce Development (DEV1487SES)

This open session features a number of Suite experts including NetSuite's own Florencia Meilán, who has penned a number of technical blog posts for NetSuite. This is the perfect opportunity to get any burning questions you have answered, as well as hear from other developers in the community who also have questions.

Non-Technical

Although appropriate for all audiences, these are still ideal for commerce developers because of the valuable insight you'll get that you might not get anywhere outside of SuiteWorld.

On the Horizon: Ecommerce & Promotions Product Roadmap (MKS1165SES)

Another must-see presentation. Hear from the leaders of the commerce product management team about where ecommerce and promotions are going over the next 6, 12, and 18 months.

While NetSuite shares product visions as part of the keynotes, special roadmap sessions allow NetSuite to share the complete view about all aspects of the product.

SEO for Ecommerce: Migrate, Optimize, and Grow to the Next Level (MKS1221SES)

Search engine optimization is not just about the tactics you employ in specific scenarios, it's also about devising and implementing a strong strategy. Digital experience manager Diego Gallo, and senior product manager in the search team, Kabir Merali, are hosting a session on just this.

Diego is the go-to expert in the team for troubleshooting SEO and advising on best practices, whereas Kabir is the leader of the roadmap for the commerce search team. Both of them are well-placed to offer advice on not only getting the most out of SEO when on the NetSuite platform, but also on what you'll need to migrate to NetSuite and flourish thereafter.

Enhance & Extend: How to Get a Cutting-Edge Site with Commerce Extensions (MKS1194SES)

If you're interested in refreshing your foundational knowledge of commerce extensions, this is the perfect session. Or, if you're bringing along colleagues or customers who are unfamiliar with or considering migrating to SuiteCommerce, this will furnish them with all they need to know about what's available and if it's a good fit for them.

React in Real Time: The Importance of Data in Giving Customers What They Want (MKS1206SES)

In short, this session looks at how gathering analytics about your customers can give you an edge when it comes to meeting your customer and business needs. They say, "Information means competitive advantage, and knowing how to use it in your customers' favor will increase conversion and engagement", and we are inclined to agree.
