CMX Summit has always been a place where genuine connections are made—attendees consistently tell us how meaningful their networking experiences have been. However, in past years, the format has followed a traditional corporate conference structure, where keynotes and workshops happened on separate days, and networking often felt incidental rather than intentional.

This year, we're making major changes to create a more purposeful, engaging, and action-driven experience.

A Fresh, Dynamic Agenda

Instead of dedicating one day to keynotes and another to workshops, we’re mixing it up—offering a blend of keynotes, panels, workshops, and a brand-new "Hot Takes" session format.

• Hot Takes: Rapid, 7-10 minute deep dives into actionable strategies, designed to get straight to the point with tactical insights you can implement immediately.
• The mix of session types will keep things fresh, engaging, and high-energy.

One Unified Stage, One Shared Experience

We’re eliminating the second stage this year, ensuring that every attendee shares the same content experience. By moving as one audience throughout the event, we’re creating a stronger sense of connection—everyone is part of the same conversations, learning the same insights, and walking away with shared takeaways.

No More Theory—Only Actionable Insights

We’re shifting away from high-level discussions and focusing entirely on tactical, problem-solving content.

• No more "why community is important"—we know you already get that.
• Instead, every session will be deep in the weeds—real strategies, real case studies, and real solutions to the challenges community professionals face.

To ensure attendees walk away with concrete takeaways, we’re introducing the CMX Summit 2025 Action Guide—a digital workbook that all attendees will receive after the event. This guide ensures that every insight is immediately applicable, making it easier for attendees to implement what they’ve learned as soon as they return to work. Each speaker will have a dedicated section featuring:

• Their name & LinkedIn for easy follow-ups
• Their slide deck for reference
• A custom actionable worksheet directly tied to their session

AI-Powered Pre-Event Networking

To make networking more intentional, we’re introducing AI-powered tools to help attendees connect before they even arrive. This way, you’ll have the chance to form relationships ahead of time, making it easier to dive into meaningful conversations at the event.

Social & VIP Experiences

We’re adding more opportunities to connect beyond sessions, including:

• Workshops throughout the day with more opportunity to meet and work with other attendees
• A happy hour at the end of Day 1 for casual networking.
• Exclusive community member dinners on the first night.
• A VIP party for speakers, sponsors, CMX Connect directors, and select community leaders.

These updates are designed to make CMX Summit a more immersive, high-impact experience—where networking is intentional, content is deeply practical, and every moment feels meaningful.

I can’t wait to see you there!
