It’s only a couple weeks now until Sugcon Europe – a definite highlight for any budding Sitecore developers. There are two days of amazing sessions lined up from a mixture of Sitecore employees and community members.

This year I’ve put together a talk all about integrating different channels with Sitecore – in this case Alexa. What better way to demonstrate the concept than to build a skill.

If you want to find out about the sessions, speakers and so on, you can download the skill for free at: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07C35NBYF/ref=sr_1_1

My particular favourite intent: play the speaker lottery.

It highlights some interesting challenges around creating chat interfaces, each of which will be covered in my talk at Sugcon. To hear the full talk swing by the Main Stage around 13:45 on Tuesday 🙂

A couple teasers:

• Context is king and why does yes matter so much?
• Why personalizing the content can have such positive, or negative results
