Why Attend?

As the choice of CMS options continues to expand, web production companies face the pressing challenge of moving beyond simple functionality comparisons. Now, they must also consider client business challenges, operational frameworks, and security requirements in their proposals. The summit will systematically organize the criteria for CMS selection, providing attendees with insights into key features, successful case studies, and future trends in CMS usage.

Participants will benefit from a keynote speech, vendor sessions, and engaging discussions with industry experts, all designed to share practical knowledge. Following these sessions, there will be networking opportunities for speakers, vendors, and attendees to connect and exchange ideas.

Focus on Decision Making

The CMS market has undergone significant evolution, particularly with platforms like WordPress, headless CMS, and SaaS-based CMS gaining traction. Many creative agencies are grappling with the dilemma of determining the best CMS to propose. The CMS Selection Summit 2026 aims to provide a fresh perspective that allows agencies to understand each CMS's unique role and suitability concerning client challenges. It will also delve into comprehensive considerations for CMS selection that encompass content management, security, and maintenance in the age of AI.

Takahiro Iwakami, CEO of GIG, will cover the latest trends and decision-making criteria in CMS selection during his keynote address.
