10 things to look out for at SuiteWorld 2023
By Andy Fury
The largest annual gathering of the Oracle NetSuite community is back for 2023. Returning to Caesars Forum in Las Vegas, from Monday, October 16 to Thursday, October 19, SuiteWorld is set to offer more networking opportunities, practical training, and upskilling sessions, as well as news of the latest developments, than ever before.
There’s still time to register for the big event, but for those who can’t make it to Vegas, all sessions will be available to access online and on-demand for free, so you don’t have to miss a thing.
If you’re attending in person, here are a few things you can get up to throughout the week:
Grab a drink at the Welcome Reception
On Monday evening, the Expo Hall will become the world’s biggest NetSuite mixer when it hosts the Welcome Reception. Kick your week off in style by enjoying drinks and appetizers while you rub shoulders with NetSuite partners, customers, and employees.
SuiteUP with learning and development sessions
This year at SuiteWorld, NetSuite is encouraging everyone to SuiteUP and unlock new skills that will allow you to achieve NetSuite’s long-held vision: to empower leaders to get a complete view of their business.
To help you brush up, there are over 200 breakout sessions, workshops, and hands-on training events to get involved with. Whatever new know-how you want to take home with you, there’s a session that’ll get you there.
Covering a wide range of topics, from industry deep-dives and customer success stories to quick and dirty tech tips, Sessions are hour-long talks from NetSuite experts packed with valuable insights and takeaways.
There are also 20 Solution Showcase Sessions on the agenda. These half-hour events will see NetSuite partners and solution providers outline how their products and services can help you elevate your NetSuite game.
We definitely recommend trying a few Workshops if you’re keen to get into the nitty-gritty. Hosted by NetSuite’s Education Services team, these hands-on sessions allow you to explore new features, discover advanced techniques and processes, and get tips directly from NetSuite technical experts.
Nothing beats getting to play around with cutting-edge features in demo environments, so book your slot early, as these sessions tend to be popular.
