“This was my first CMX Summit, and I loved every second of it. The quality of speakers and range of topics was outstanding. It was so easy to forget this was a virtual event because the enthusiasm pulled you right into the conversations that were happening. There’s so much to take away. Thank you CMX for putting this amazing event together!”

“I’ve been working in engagement and community-building for about five years, but attending CMX Summit 2020 was the first time I felt like I had a shared language about what I do and a community of people to whom I don’t have to explain why my role exists or why it’s important. Thanks to CMX for this community of practice!”

Kate Richey
Engagement Manager, Hearken, Inc

“I was so impressed by the way the CMX staff were able to put this together. So much information for various types of communities! I absolutely felt the “community” even though it was virtual. Loved that we could chat with each other during the panels, and the Q&A tool worked great.”
