2016 CMS Experts meetings
The CMS Expert community goes back over a decade. We started in 2008 with the idea to bring customers, analysts, vendors and agencies together in this forum. In 2011 we then also launched a local chapter in North America and these days we cover broadly everything labelled digital experience.
Enjoy some of the highlights during the years below - more to come. Get in touch if you are missing something or have a fond memory to contribute.
