Breaking Silos to Accelerate Outcomes

Wednesday 5 November

Join Aceik, Sitecore, and Vercel for an exclusive executive lunch with CSR’s leadership team, as we uncover how their XM Cloud transformation fostered cross-team collaboration and delivered measurable business impact.

Restaurant Hubert - 15 Bligh Street, Sydney

As customer expectations soar, the digital landscape is evolving faster than ever—demanding seamless, personalised, and dynamic experiences at scale. For marketing and digital leaders, the challenge is clear: traditional approaches are no longer enough. Success now requires agile, AI-powered solutions that enable real-time interactions and meaningful engagement.

For organisations like CSR, managing multiple brands and regions means delivering consistent, high-performing digital experiences is critical to strengthening customer connections and achieving strategic growth.

In late 2024, CSR partnered with Aceik, Sitecore, and Vercel to reimagine their corporate and brand websites on Sitecore XM Cloud. The transformation streamlined digital operations, empowered teams to work faster and smarter, and established a scalable foundation for future innovation—keeping CSR ahead of rising customer expectations.

Join us to hear directly from CSR’s leadership as they share their digital transformation story—covering lessons learned, strategies for driving collaboration, and the measurable business outcomes achieved through their website transformation.

The Agentic Experience - Building Brands in the Age of AI

Everywhere

Customers are everywhere, attention is nowhere, and AI is rewriting the rules of engagement. Brands once relied on clicks, campaigns, and linear funnels—but today, discovery happens through summaries, social signals, and AI-driven interactions. For marketing and digital leaders, the challenge is clear: how do you meet customers where they are, when “where” is constantly shifting?
