Become a Speaker!
Take the stage at CMS Conf 2026 and share your expertise with a diverse audience of developers, designers, and business leaders. We're looking for passionate speakers to deliver engaging talks on a variety of topics related to content management systems, web development, digital experiences, and industry trends.
Whether you're an experienced speaker or new to the stage, we welcome your unique perspective. Join us in inspiring and educating the CMS community!
We have two tracks: the Developer Track for technical practitioners, and the Creator Track for managers, marketers, content strategists, and SEO specialists.
What we're looking for
Developer Track
CMS architecture, headless and composable setups, API integrations, performance, security, developer tooling, and real-world technical case studies.
Creator Track
Content strategy, AI in content workflows, SEO, CMS selection for non-technical teams, and practical case studies from managers, marketers, content professionals, and agency practitioners.
We prioritize practical experience and real case studies over vendor pitches or product demos. Not sure if your topic fits? Reach out before submitting - we're happy to give early feedback.
What we offer speakers
All accepted speakers receive a complimentary conference pass. For speakers traveling from outside the Tricity area, we offer a travel contribution of up to €100. We also promote every speaker through our social media channels, conference website, and our newsletter - meaningful reach for anyone building visibility in the CMS space.

Set sail for broader visibility
As a CMS Conf speaker, you reach an audience beyond your usual network. Your name and brand appear alongside people who make long-term decisions in the CMS space.
Build trust as a practitioner
The CMS Conf stage is for people who share real experience and hard-won lessons. Speaking here positions you as a credible practitioner, not a vendor - and that reputation stays with you.

Your talk can change how attendees think about content architecture, tooling choices, or AI workflows. Practical insight from real projects is what moves the industry forward.
