Magento Imagine 2019


Magento Imagine is the biggest Magento conference. It brings together more than 3,000 ecommerce experts, merchants, partners, agencies, developers and technology providers from all over the globe (over 60 countries) to collaborate and share their experiences, exchange ideas, and develop business relationships.  

Imagine started nine years ago with a great idea: to keep abreast of the latest Magento news and developments and connect the global ecommerce community. At Magento Imagine, you can find out a lot of useful information, while cooperating and having fun with the leading innovators.

2018 was an exciting and productive year for Elogic. We became the number one Magento Community Insider Contributor of the year. You can learn more about this on the Elogic and Magento blogs. We were really happy and honored to be invited to Magento Imagine 2019 as Magento partners to receive the Community Insider reward.

The Magento Imagine conference, like the previous events, took place at the Wynn hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada and lasted three days from May 13th to 15th. Magento announced three top priorities of the upcoming year:

  • Superior Experience – Magento is focused on improving B2C and B2B shopping experience to boost sales on Magento-based stores
  • Omnichannel Innovation – Magento is going to continue building features that help merchants sell everywhere and deliver anywhere
  • Commerce Intelligence – Magento is going to enable intelligent experience, helping merchants uncover insights about their customers and employ better measurement.

Here is a small summary of all key highlights happened at the event.
