CMS as we know it is transforming.

As AI impacts everything from search visibility to the very future of websites, how are builders and businesses adapting? And how are open source CMSs – and their communities – playing a crucial role in what’s next?

In this informative session, industry analyst, speaker, and content management authority Matt Garrepy will shine a light on the key trends impacting the CMS category and the topology of digital experiences. Matt's presentation will cover research and insights from hundreds of interviews he has conducted with digital leaders at agencies, enterprises, and commercial and open source CMS vendors.

As we pass through the gate into a sea of uncertainty, Matt will explore the perils and possibilities, and how the growing chorus around digital sovereignty and securing the software supply chain will make 2026 a pivotal year for open source.
