Sitecore Symposium 2025 - Orlando Florida

You can read about #SitecoreSYM anywhere.

But what I'll remember are the people — the smiles, the late conversations, the feeling of belonging.

You may be big names online, but you are also big persons — open, kind, and human. That's what makes this community special.

Thank you, my new friends, for the talks and laughs outside sessions — at breakfast tables, in hallways, during lunch, or on the bus. You know who you are.

Thank you, Sitecore, for asking for our feedback, for listening, and for being ready to hear our voice.

I hope this vibe can be felt online too — it's worth sharing.

My First Symposium Experience

This was my first symposium — I didn't know what to expect. Traveling from Sofia via Amsterdam with a 4-hour layover, then 10 hours to Orlando. Arriving Sunday evening, I found some friends there and we went to dinner. I met people from Europe which I knew from SUGCON Europe 2025.

I really enjoyed the early morning coffees with Anna, those quiet moments before the day began. Throughout the symposium, I had wonderful conversations with so many people. Each conversation added something special to the experience.

The days were filled with sessions, talks, and connections. The SeaWorld event for MVPs was a great way to connect with the community. We had dinner with colleagues in Disney Springs, which was a perfect way to unwind and share experiences.

The Universal Studios experience with the Symposium party was incredible — the Harry Potter and Fast and Furious rides, the butterbeer, and all the excitement. Finally met my hero, Andy, and had a chance to tell him that his session was the best in April.

The MVP summit brought together so many passionate people in the Sitecore community. Time flew by so fast with all the sessions, talks, and activities.

On the way back, I shared a ride with Yassine to the airport — a nice way to end the trip. The long flight back from Orlando via Atlanta, Paris, and Sofia gave me time to reflect on everything.

I will remember these 5 days forever. Thank you to everyone who made this experience special — Anna, Gabe, Rodrigo, Gaurav, Ahmed, James, Jon, Andrew, Julia, Jared, Alex, Dennis, Krassi, Yassine, Corey, Wes, Casey, and Andy. I'm sure I missed someone — sorry about that. Your conversations, laughter, and shared moments made this first symposium unforgettable. Hope I can see you all next year!
