Over the past year, NetSuite has invested thousands of hours of time and resources into building out our Advertising, Media and Publishing (AMP) vertical. SuiteWorld 2017 is indicative of that trend, and this year we will have our first ever dedicated industry keynote.

Aside from the industry specific keynotes, we have 175+ sessions over the three days, allowing each attendee to create their own SuiteWorld experience. You will hear from NetSuite leaders, customers and partners discussing a wide array of topics from growing your start-up to taking your company public. There will be specific sessions on growing your professional services organization, taking advantage of OneWorld to manage your acquisitions, and how to use developer tools to customize your platform.

SuiteWorld is an opportunity to learn about trends in your industry, network with likeminded individuals and plan for your businesses next move. The theme for the event this year is, “Next Starts Now,” because we want to encourage our attendees to prepare for what’s coming next in today’s economy. As we prepare ourselves for the conference in a few weeks, here are four things to expect:

Advertising, Media & Publishing First Ever Industry Keynote

This is a special year for NetSuite’s AMP vertical; we will have our first ever industry specific keynote entitled, “Platform Powers Next: A Dynamic Creative Industry.” The keynote will focus on technology as a catalyst in the creative industries, how to achieve brand relevance and authenticity, and the keys to executing at a global scale while preserving best-in-class teams.

The Points Guy

You may have seen Brian Kelly pop up on your Facebook, Twitter or Instagram recently; these days, Brian is better known by his trade name ‘The Points Guy,’ and he is an expert in optimizing credit card, hotel and travel rewards. He will be in the expo hall doing a Q&A during the welcome reception, so make sure to stop by for some great advice.

Birds-of-a-Feather

On Wednesday, April 26th, attend the Advertising, Media & Publishing Birds-of-a-Feather lunch to discuss technical challenges with NetSuite product experts and industry peers. Each table will have a topic of interest; participation is on a first-come, first-serve basis, and other topics include Financial Planning, OneWorld and OpenAir.

Professional Services Automation

As technology continues to evolve, it is becoming imperative to tie your people into your back-end business processes. NetSuite is your partner in finance and professional services automation. Our OpenAir product continues to evolve for services based businesses, while SRP (Services Resource Planning) continues to develop as the leading product for hybrid business models. At SuiteWorld, you can learn how to better manage your people & your finances together, all on NetSuite’s unified platform.
