2023 Acumatica Developer Conference
The Acumatica Developer Conference is an annual conference that provides our technical community with the in depth knowledge & tools required to build great customizations, integrations and even applications, fully utilizing Acumatica’s cloud xRP platform.
This year’s event will be held over three (3) shorter days with three (3) hours of presentation each day. Last years attendee feedback suggested that it would work better for busy schedules to move from a two day format to a three day format. We will still include all the popular topics and in depth content as we have had in the past.
Our speakers are anchored by our Founder and CTO, Mike Shchelkonogov along with other Acumatica or Technical Community speakers. Please plan on joining us for all three days! The agenda and speakers have been finalized.
