Welcoming Progress Sitefinity Champions 2025

Welcome to the Progress Sitefinity Champions for 2025! This program recognizes individuals who are passionate about Progress Sitefinity.

What Is a Progress Champion?

The Progress Champions program is a recognition for the best in our software industry—for developers, designers, testers, architects, advocates, partners and forward thinkers. We transformed our individual “MVP” offerings to a unified program structure to allow us to create a stronger, more impactful presence within the software community. We’ve started off with Developer Tools and Sitefinity, with the ultimate goal to include the entire portfolio of Progress products—MOVEit joins us in 2025. This will be an annual program with year-round nominations, evaluations in November/December and inductions/renewals in January/February.

Progress Sitefinity Champions for 2025

Progress Sitefinity Champions are engaged community advocates who listen and promote Sitefinity Digital Experience Platform and Progress tools while fostering collaboration and providing guidance to developers and partners. Progress Sitefinity Champions are emissaries for Progress in both the worldwide and local communities.

They are passionate and involved in at least one broad community engagement area, such as blogs, X (Twitter), video and online and in-person speaking engagements. They are champions in both the Progress community and public community forums. They have demonstrated expert knowledge and excel at providing constructive and credible insights into how Progress can be a better product based on real-world experience.
