What is the CMS Kickoff?

In brief: CMS Kickoff 27 is Boye & Co’s annual gathering of the global CMS and digital experience community — held January 19–20, 2027.

It’s where digital leaders, partners, and practitioners connect, share real-world insights, and explore what’s next in content and experience platforms.

An optimistic event built around people and conversations — where you’ll meet the people you don’t know you need to meet.

For some more background: The event is curated and designed in close collaboration with our CMS Experts community. We started with CMS Kickoff 23, which was quite well received as a vendor-neutral place for the industry to meet across customers, vendors, agencies and analysts.

We made it bigger and importantly better at CMS Kickoff 24. For CMS Kickoff 25 we moved from the beach venue to the museum in St. Pete and that’s also where CMS Kickoff 26 was held.

Conferences come in many shapes and forms. This one has max 120 participants.

Venue

Once again we will be at the The James Museum of Western & Wildlife Art in downtown St. Pete. It is an ideal setting for a conference like ours with its spectacular modern and historic works of art that evoke the spirit of a wide-open frontier and the beauty of life in the American West.

For accommodation, St. Pete has many hotels in all budget ranges within walking distance.

And how to get there: Tampa International Airport is about 30 minutes drive away.
