Every year, BigMachines is proud to host its BigIdeas Customer and Industry Forum. BigMachines customers and partners gather from across the globe for a two and a half day session to learn the latest industry trends from outside speakers and industry analysts, and to discuss best practices in implementing web technology. During BigIdeas, BigMachines shares its detailed roadmap plans with our customers- who guide us on our product development priorities. Each year we commit to developing the top new features voted by our customers… and to launch them prior to next year’s conference.
