CMS Summit 26
Thanks for joining us!
CMS Summit 26 brought together digital leaders, content teams, agencies, analysts, platform experts, and technology vendors from across Asia, Europe, and North America for honest conversations about AI, digital experience, governance, workflows, platforms, and where the industry is heading next.
Just as importantly, it brought workshops, hallway conversations, dinners, coffee discussions, reconnecting with old friends, and many new connections across the community.
Thank you to everyone who joined us at Museum für Kommunikation Frankfurt and helped create such an open, thoughtful, and generous atmosphere throughout the event.

Venue
Our 2026 venue is located right a the Main river, very centrally in Frankfurt
CMS Summit 26 will take place at Museum für Kommunikation Frankfurt.
It’s a fitting venue for the kind of conversations we care about at Boye conferences. Not a generic conference centre, but a place rooted in how communication, media and technology evolve over time. Old systems meeting new ones. Structure meeting change. Exactly the tensions CMS teams live with every day.
Why this venue works for us:
Central Frankfurt location, easy to reach
Designed for dialogue, not just presentations
A setting that encourages reflection, not vendor theatre
What more can we say? There are many hotels nearby and Frankfurt is easy to get to.
