Top four reasons to attend the London debut of ENGAGE

by Sarfraz Ali

Smartsheet ENGAGE is an opportunity to dive deeper into the capabilities of Smartsheet. And this is the first time we’re bringing our customer conference to London, so it’s a special time to attend. What makes this event stand out is the emphasis we’re placing on helping you create connections with Smartsheet experts and peers who share your ambitions. 


At our London event, you’ll get a ton of ideas and insights when you’re chatting with Smartsheet experts, networking with your peers, and deepening your Smartsheet knowledge in breakout sessions. And I know you’ll have a lot of fun and come away energised, too. 


Here are my top four reasons you should attend this first-ever ENGAGE in London:

1. Smartsheet experts at your fingertips

ENGAGE offers a unique chance to connect with a network of Smartsheet experts, including our esteemed channel partners. With over 750 partners globally, of which more than 200 operate in the EMEA region alone, you'll have access to a wealth of specialised knowledge tailored to what you do. They’re well-versed in your verticals and can provide valuable insights into processes and solutions that will help you get the most value out of Smartsheet. 


Smartsheet employees will also be there to answer your questions. You’ll be able to talk with them about specific features that you spend a lot of time on — or want to learn more about. It’s also your chance to tell us your Smartsheet feedback!

 2. Dedicated time to tap into the collective wisdom of your peers

Smartsheet customers from around the EMEA region will share the creative ways they’re using Smartsheet in the keynote and in breakout sessions. But it’s really the networking outside the sessions where you have the opportunity to learn more about your peers’ stories. 


One thing I know from my time at Smartsheet, is we have the most amazing customer base. Every year I attend ENGAGE, I am amazed at how willing folks are to share and help each other out. And you should definitely tap into their wisdom. You’ll have time between sessions, during lunch, and in our attendee reception to brainstorm solution ideas and share stories.

3. Actionable sessions that will help make your work easier

There are more than 20 breakout sessions where you’ll be able to deepen your Smartsheet expertise and gain the tools and best practices that’ll help grow your career. The sessions are organised in beginner, intermediate, and advanced tracks so there’s something for everyone no matter your familiarity with Smartsheet. Here are descriptions of a few sessions that’ll give you an idea of what to expect:

  • The Smartsheet product vision: A look ahead    
    Discover our vision for the future of the Smartsheet product. You'll get a preview of upcoming innovations and enhancements, and learn how you can get involved to help shape our product roadmap.
  • The transformative impact of generative AI    
    Learn how the artificial intelligence that’s being incorporated into Smartsheet will help you eliminate many of the time-consuming manual tasks typically involved in collaborative work.
  • Automate and scale your project portfolio with Smartsheet    
    This session is perfect for both Control Center users and those considering it for the first time. We'll demo the product and explore best practices and strategies to optimise project consistency, visibility, and scale. By the end of this session, you'll be equipped with the knowledge and tools to drive successful portfolio outcomes.

Hopefully that gives you an idea of what to expect, but be sure to check out the full agenda.

4. A fun, energising experience

The last thing is, Smartsheet ENGAGE is simply fun; it’s energising. After a full day of programming on the first day of ENGAGE, our team is hosting a reception where you can mix, mingle, and meet with other attendees over drinks and hor d’eouvres. There are always moments of surprise and delight throughout ENGAGE events, and I am confident our first in London will be no exception. 

Boost your Smartsheet skills

Well there you have it — my top reasons to attend ENGAGE in London. And I'll throw in one more: I'll be there and would love to connect with you. The conference is filling up quickly — be sure to register before it’s too late. Cheers.
