Get ready for the 13th CA 2E CA Plex Worldwide Developers Conference

April 2023

13th CA 2E / CA Plex Conference


We're working hard to put the finishing touches on the 13th CA 2E / CA Plex Worldwide Developers Conference, which is now only ten days away.


Brand new: if you're interested in catching up on the General Sessions only, we have a just-launched Virtual Pass Lite free of charge. Simply register here with your name and email and you're all set.


We're looking forward to meeting the CA 2E and CA Plex professionals in person who have registered for the conference, but we do know that many of you can't afford the time and cost to travel to Boca Raton, Florida, due to busy schedules.


If that's you, consider a Virtual Pass at $114 per ticket (in-person is $499).


The conference covers many CM WebClient topics, including integrating JavaScript web applications into CA Plex, modern security approaches, and undocumented but extremely useful CA Plex and CM WebClient features.


And as a sponsor of the event, there will be a lot more CM WebClient content, including the latest and most advanced features yet.


With the Virtual Pass, you can attend remotely, or watch any of the videos we put out in the weeks after the conference. They'll be available for at least a year, so you'll have plenty of time to catch up on the material.


More details about the Virtual Pass can be found below.


Also, read more for our article on best practices for assessing legacy code, plus some links to articles on card interface design, css, javascript, docker, and more.
