Acquia Engage attendees that arrived at the Austin airport were greeted by an Acquia banner.Last week, Acquia welcomed more than 600 attendees to the fifth annual [Acquia Engage Conference](https://engage.acquia.com/) in Austin, Texas.

During my keynote, my team and I talked about Acquia's strategy, recent product developments, and our product roadmap.

I also had the opportunity to invite three of our customers on stage — [Paychex](https://www.paychex.com/), [NBC Sports](https://www.nbcsports.com/), and [Wendy's](https://www.wendys.com/home) — to hear how each organization is leveraging the [Acquia Platform](https://www.acquia.com/products-services/acquia-platform).

All three organizations demonstrate incredible use cases, and I invite you to [watch the recording of the Innovation Showcase](https://youtu.be/1Jkl-bgY4DU) (78 minutes) or [download a copy of my slides](https://dri.es/files/acquia-engage-keynote-2018.pdf) (219 MB).
