Two tracks. One conversation.
To make sure everyone gets the most value from the day, we'll run two parallel tracks focused on different perspectives of the Sulu ecosystem. Whether you're building platforms or building a business around them, you'll find discussions designed for your role.
Build what's next.
Spend the day with the Sulu core team exploring what's coming in Sulu 3.1 and what it opens up for future projects. We'll look at new platform capabilities, AI, MCP and Intelligent Search and work through the architectural questions behind them.

Topics will include:
- Sulu 3.1 and new platform capabilities
- Sulu.ai, MCP and Intelligent Search
- AI agents and developer tooling
- Extension points and configuration
- Architecture, content modelling and best practices

Grow with the platform.
The market around Sulu is changing, and so are the projects our partners are competing for. This track is about what those changes mean for agencies: where we see new opportunities, how we position Sulu for more complex projects, and what we need to provide as a platform and company to help partners succeed.
We'll share what we're learning from the market and where we're heading, then work through the open questions together. From positioning and enterprise requirements to the partner programme and the sales support you need in real client conversations.
Topics will include:
- What's changing in the market and what it means for Sulu
- How to position and sell Sulu in client conversations
- Market and competitive positioning
- Enterprise projects, hosting, SLA and services
