It is always great how SuiteWorld, the largest annual gathering of Oracle NetSuite users and partners, brings the community together to learn, network, and be inspired by what’s possible with the NetSuite platform.
This year’s event was no different, with over 7,000 attendees from many countries who joined for four days of learning and celebrating how our customers and partners use NetSuite to accelerate their businesses.
Before we jump to the takeaways from this year’s Suiteworld 2022 event, we recommend reading our blog on the top takeaways from last year’s event.
It is inspiring how Netsuite managed to bring the community together again and produce great content that is relevant and very practical.

Suitecommerce is a NetSuite eCommerce platform that helps retailers build and manage their online stores. It delivers retailers’ capabilities to design and customize their stores, process transactions, manage inventory, and ship products to customers. Suitecommerce also enables retailers to tap into NetSuite’s powerful merchandising and marketing capabilities.
