Imagine started eight years ago with a grand vision: to connect the global eCommerce community. Today, it brings together 3,000+ eCommerce experts, including merchants, agencies, and technology providers from over 50 countries.

Gary Specter, VP Commerce Sales, and Customer Success, Experience Business, Adobe addressed the audience at Imagine 2019 by saying "The magic and power of Magento comes from all of you. Our biggest accomplishment is our community."
