What is the Universal CMS Summit?
The Universal CMS Summit is an exclusive industry event designed to bridge the gap between developers and marketers in the realm of digital experiences.
The summit will explore the future of content management systems and discuss the concept of a Universal CMS — a CMS that empowers content teams and developer teams to do their best work on any stack, any technology, and any channel through universal visual editing, universal content delivery, universal developer experiences, and universal deployability.
Look forward to keynotes from industry leaders, engaging panel discussions and breakout sessions, and concluding the day with a dinner boat cruise along the St. Lawrence River, taking in stunning views of Montréal. Space is limited, so please register your interest to secure your spot.

A new council for answer engine optimization
A new council for answer engine optimization formed in November 2026 at a side event in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
