Kaushal Shah, a director in Perficient’s Magento Practice, will participate in a panel discussion on “Magento 2.0: Merchant & System Integrator Perspectives.” Shah joins five Magento 2.0 merchants and system integrator partners and clients for an interactive discussion on the newly released version of the Magento platform. The panel convenes at 4:30 p.m. Pacific time, Monday, April 11, in the Moutin 1 meeting room.
Shah also will join David Hess, a national sales director at Perficient, and Ashley Gensler, CEO of Loom Décor, to present “Migrating to Magento 2.0: Insight from a Beta Partner,” a first-hand account of the technical insights, considerations, and lessons learned installing Magento 2.0 Beta.

Our implementation at Loom Décor is a great example of a complex implementation that wouldn’t have been possible without the new features in this release.”
