2023 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.

What does AEM Franklin & Movable Type have in common? In October, we held our first ever meeting in Sacramento and with Adam Kalsey, Deane Barker and Mark Demeny looking both to the past and to the future.

As the quote goes:

"Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it"
