The CMX Fellows Program is a selective initiative designed to support early- and mid-career community professionals who want to grow as leaders, connect with peers, and shape the future of the community industry.
As a Fellow, you’ll join a small, exclusive cohort of other community professionals, gaining access to mentorship, networking, and hands-on opportunities to pilot new CMX programs. You’ll leave the program with enhanced skills, deeper industry connections, and a stronger presence in the community field.
Fellows will also receive either a discounted ticket to CMX Summit 2026, or entirely free. We want to be sure price isn’t a barrier for community professionals to attend, especially if you’re between jobs.
