London — 22 May 2018 — Digital experience company Acquia today announces the full line up of speakers and partners for its inaugural Acquia Engage Europe 2018, including Baroness Brady of Knightsbridge CBE as she takes to the Engage stage as our keynote speaker.

Held in the UK on the 4th and 5th June, the conference will bring together digital leaders and creatives from around Europe, discussing how they are pushing the boundaries of digital, what the most pressing challenges are and their strategies for success — inspiring others who are in the midst of their own digital transformations.

Such is the importance of digital to business success these days that 81 percent of large organisations have made it part of their overall business strategy. However, the challenge is as big as the opportunity itself, with 65 percent of organisations admitting that implementing digital is their number one strategic challenge.

Sylvia Jensen, VP of EMEA marketing, Acquia, said: “We’ve been running Acquia Engage in the U.S. for a number of years now with such success that we wanted to offer digital leaders in Europe the same opportunity to come together and discuss digital.

“Digital is one of those things that everyone wants to do, but struggles with considerably. This event will give attendees the chance to learn from the best in the business about what’s needed to make a digital project truly work.”

Mainstage sessions include:

  • Panel: Big Ideas in Digital with Hiscox, Virgin Sport, Bayer
  • Delivering Digital in the Experience Economy with Capgemini
  • An Acquia Update from CEO Mike Sullivan
