The SyteLine User's Complete Guide to Inforum Conference
Inforum is Infor's flagship annual conference where SyteLine and CloudSuite Industrial users get direct access to product roadmaps, hands-on labs, and peer networking. With hundreds of sessions spanning multiple tracks, SyteLine-specific attendees need a focused strategy to extract maximum value from their time and travel investment.
Must-Attend SyteLine Sessions at Inforum
Inforum organizes sessions by industry CloudSuite tracks, so SyteLine content falls under the CloudSuite Industrial and Discrete Manufacturing tracks. The keynote product roadmap sessions from Infor's CloudSuite Industrial product management team reveal upcoming feature releases, deprecation timelines, and multi-tenant migration plans that directly impact your upgrade planning.
- CloudSuite Industrial product roadmap sessions covering SyteLine 10.x feature pipeline and MT migration
- Hands-on labs for Infor OS, Birst analytics, and ION integration with SyteLine data
- Customer spotlight sessions where manufacturers share real SyteLine implementation outcomes
- Infor Technology sessions on Mongoose framework updates and IDO extensibility improvements
- Ask the Experts roundtables with SyteLine product managers and principal developers
Networking and User Group Connections
The real value of Inforum often happens outside the session rooms. SyteLine user group meetups, Birds of a Feather gatherings, and the CloudSuite Industrial customer advisory board sessions provide candid peer discussions that do not appear in marketing materials. Planning your networking schedule in advance doubles the actionable contacts you bring home.
- Join the CloudSuite Industrial Customer Advisory Board dinner for early roadmap influence
- Attend SyteLine User Group (SLUG) organized meetups listed in the Inforum community app
- Visit the Partner Pavilion to evaluate SyteLine add-on ISVs and integration specialists
- Schedule one-on-one meetings with Infor product managers through the Inforum concierge service
- Connect with peers on Infor Campus and BaanBoard community forums before the event
Post-Inforum Action Plan
Returning from Inforum with pages of notes but no execution plan is the most common missed opportunity. Build a structured debrief within one week that maps session takeaways to your SyteLine environment roadmap, prioritizes quick wins, and assigns ownership for longer-term initiatives revealed during product roadmap sessions.
- Consolidate session recordings from Inforum On Demand for team members who did not attend
- Map announced SyteLine feature releases to your current pain points and enhancement requests
- Submit feature requests through Infor's Idea Portal referencing specific Inforum session content
- Schedule follow-up calls with vendors and partners contacted at the Partner Pavilion
- Brief your steering committee on MT migration timeline impacts discussed in roadmap sessions
