Whether you’re a seasoned attendee or a first timer, start your OpenText World experience with a Welcome Session—it’s the perfect way to kick off this year’s conference. This annual customer event brings together the vast and diverse OpenText community to learn, connect, and innovate—and the Welcome Session is designed to ensure everyone gets off to a great start.

Each year, we look forward to meeting new faces and catching up with familiar ones in our relaxed, fun, and informal orientation sessions. We’ve prepared two dedicated Welcome Sessions to accommodate all attendees, giving you the flexibility to choose the one that best suits your schedule:

Monday, November 18
1.30 – 3.00pm: Welcome to OpenText World!
3.30 – 5.00pm: Welcome to OpenText World! (Repeat)

Bonus:  A 20-minute turbo talk is also scheduled for Tues, Nov. 19  at 1pm. If you can’t make the Monday sessions, join us at OpenText World: A yeti’s eye view.

Register for OpenText World and add one of them to your agenda now! It’s a fantastic way to get settled, meet fellow OpenText enthusiasts, and set the tone for an inspiring and productive conference week.

Why attend the Welcome Session?

The Welcome Session serves as your all-access guide to OpenText World 2024, covering everything you need to know to navigate the week seamlessly. Here are some highlights of what you’ll gain from joining:

1. Get the low-down on logistics and the schedule.

We know conferences can feel overwhelming—so much to do, so many people to meet, and not enough time! That’s why the Welcome Session will provide an essential overview of logistics, a detailed look at the schedule, and tips for how to get the most out of each day. You’ll hear about the keynotes, breakout sessions, workshops, networking events, and evening socials, helping you prioritize what matters most for your goals.

2. Meet other OpenText users. 

Attending OpenText World is as much about connecting as it is about learning. In our Welcome Sessions, you’ll have the chance to meet other attendees in a relaxed setting. Connect with like-minded professionals who share your interests, goals, and challenges. Many attendees find that the connections made during the Welcome Session lead to lasting professional relationships and valuable insights long after the conference ends.

3. Get tips and tricks from experienced attendees.

Every conference veteran has their own tips for making the most of OpenText World—and we’ve collected them. In the Welcome Session, you’ll hear friendly suggestions about maximizing your experience—whether it’s how to best plan your sessions, optimize your networking opportunities, or even where to find the best coffee at the venue! These insider tips will help you navigate like a pro.

4. Win prizes and have some fun! 

Plan to arrive at the conference early so you can pick up your badge and conference materials in a stress-free environment. Then join the Welcome Session, where you can enjoy a fun welcome and win prizes! Not only will you avoid the rush, but you’ll also have time to check out the exclusive OpenText swag and other resources to help you prepare for the week.

Make the most of OpenText World—starting at the Welcome Session!

OpenText World 2024 promises to be an exciting opportunity to learn about the latest trends in digital transformation, network with peers, and engage with thought leaders in the industry.
