This year, CMX Summit turns 10! For a decade, we've built a vibrant community by sharing knowledge, supporting one another, and creating lasting connections. It's been incredible to witness so many talented community professionals launch their careers right here at the Summit, and it's an honor to be a part of their journey.

Yet, we recognize that financial constraints and systemic barriers can prevent talented community professionals from joining us. At CMX, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to experience the magic of the Summit. That's why we're excited to announce the return of our annual CMX Summit Scholarship Program!

This year, we will be giving away 20 CMX Summit tickets to passionate community builders who want to join us in Redwood City from April 25th - April 26th. This includes access to all the talks and workshops on April 25th and April 26th, a special CMX Summit T-shirt, and access to all the CMX Summit recordings.
