While this event was mostly attended by leading US-based partners I met a couple of International partners as well.<\/p>\n<p>The evening before the main event took place we had a chance to casually network on a boat cruise on Lake Michigan. The Episerver (Optimizely) team hosted a wonderful evening!<\/p>\n<p>GPI was able to discuss with many Episerver (Optimizely) partners our translation and localization services for digital marketing and e-commerce companies. We found a lot of interest in our Episerver (Optimizely) Translation Connector, a tool which allows Episerver (Optimizely)-based websites to initiate translation workflows with a single click and gain access to an array of reports to track and manage global translation projects through our own Translation Services Portal.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globalizationpartners.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/cms7banner_348x116.jpg\" alt=\"episerver-7\" width=\"348\" height=\"116\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Some session highlights from the event:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Business Track<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Innerworkings &#8211; Eric Harke, Vice President of eCommerce and Product Management<\/li>\n<li>Silverpop &#8211; Bryan Brown, Director of Product Strategy<\/li>\n<li>Everweb &#8211; Sallo Bah &amp; Alex Martel, Episerver (Optimizely)<\/li>\n<li>Add-Ons &#8211; Special Guest, InRiver &#8211; Kurt Kristmann<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Developer Track<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Adaptive Design, Joe Bianco, Episerver (Optimizely)<\/li>\n<li>Search for Commerce, Bill Murray, Episerver (Optimizely)<\/li>\n<li>Condor, David Bowen &amp; Mark Hall, Episerver (Optimizely)<\/li>\n<li>Extending Promotions for Commerce, Shannon Gray, Episerver (Optimizely)<\/li>\n<li>Test Cloud, Jeff Wallace, Episerver (Optimizely)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It would be great to see you at the Summit next year!<\/p>\n<h4>More Resources on the Episerver (Optimizely)Translation Connector and Website Translation<\/h4>\n<p>GPI&#8217;s Episerver (Optimizely) Web CMS Connector is a plug-in that you can install on the server (client side) that extends the standard Episerver (Optimizely) UI and allows users the option to send pages\/content for translation.
