Box admins, specialists, and cloud lovers: BoxWorks is around the corner!

OK. You've heard it before: "This year's XXX conference is going to be the best yet!" "Don't miss XXX conference!" "The top conference of the year!"

I don't mean to add to the noise, but BoxWorks 2017 will actually be better than ever before. That's because we're introducing content tracks that have been created AND will be co-hosted by the most important part of BoxWorks (and TBH the reason why we even do this): our customers!

We've broken down BoxWorks sessions into categories based on what describes you as a Box customer. We'll be rolling out lists of must-sees based on what suits you through out the coming weeks on the blog, so be sure to keep checking back!

Today we're dedicating our post today to you, practitioners. Here's how you might describe yourself if you're a practitioner:

• Account Administrator or Co-Administrator
• Box Champion or Specialist
• Love all things cloud and want to learn more about what Box has to offer

Think one of these sounds like you? Great, we're happy you're here. Now let's get to it. Here are some of the sessions I'm most excited about, created just for practitioners:
