Welcome to Engage Paris 2026

The day begins with a warm welcome to attendees gathered for a morning of Acquia sessions in France. Delivered in both French and English, the opening sets a friendly, practical tone and makes clear that everyone in the room is looked after.

The host walks through the housekeeping that makes a multilingual event run smoothly. Sessions throughout the morning are presented in both French and English, and attendees can scan a QR code to follow every session by live stream with live translation in the language of their choice. A second QR code opens the event app. Anyone with a question is encouraged to ask one of the Acquia team members nearby, who are on hand to help.

It is a short segment, but an important one. It welcomes a regional audience in their own language, removes the friction of following a packed agenda, and hands attendees the tools to get the most from the day. The welcome closes by introducing our Chief Market Officer at Acquia, Jennifer Griffin Smith who takes the stage to set up everything the audience is about to see. Watch this short opening to get oriented and comfortable before the keynotes, the customer stories, and the product showcases that follow throughout the morning.
