Thoughts and Takeaways from the April 2026 #Sitecore Chicagoland Meetup

I always love attending and participating in these. I was excited for this one because I could finally get rid of some of the Sitecore swag that has been sitting in my office. I loaded my bag up and another container with what I could. I love these Rickshaw custom backpacks btw. So here is a summary of the meetup in photos.

Things started off with a Q&A. Water Cooler Unfiltered: Candid Conversation with Eric Stine, Eyal Altman & Jon Price (Eric Stine, Sitecore, Eyal Altman, Littelfuse, Jonathan Price, Americaneagle.com). This was a great session. Learned so much about the future of Sitecore and how AI fits in. I also got a question answered that I relayed to the person I was asking for.

Next up was a session about Littelfuse’s journey. Always like seeing how things start and finish. Moments That Matter: How Littelfuse Transformed Digital Experience Through the Voice of the Customer (Sai Prasanna Pusarla, Littelfuse Josh Stanley, Sitecore Maggie Burke, Americaneagle.com)

One of my favorite new Sitecore offerings is the marketplace. I love creating apps for it so was excited to learn some new things. The session presented was Extend your SitecoreAI Instance with Marketplace Apps (Ahmed Okour, Americaneagle.com).

Final Thoughts

I love being part of the Sitecore community. I am still looking for a new position and I am doing everything I can to stay part of it. It was great to reconnect with everyone. What I learned at the meetup I can use in my future role.
