ContentCon 2026: Every Brand Now Has Two Audiences, Humans and Agents
Key Facts:
AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Contentstack, the independent CMS pioneer redefining agentic digital experiences, today announced the keynote lineup and core theme for ContentCon 2026, focusing on how global brands must build for both human and AI audiences simultaneously. The annual conference will take place in Amsterdam in September and Chicago in October.
How to Build Digital Experiences for People and AI: Inspiring Humans, Informing Agents
Our opening keynote at ContentCon, "Inspiring Humans, Informing Agents," will explore how brands can create compelling digital experiences for users while giving AI agents the context they need to accurately understand and represent them.
"Winning today requires mastering two completely different conversations at once: inspiring the human buyer and giving AI agents the context to represent you accurately," said Neha Sampat, founder and CEO of Contentstack. "That requires a fundamentally new approach to content, data, and technology, and Contentstack is showing brands how to run with it."
Featured speakers will answer this question: What did you have to stop doing, start doing, or completely redesign to operate in this new era? For Contentstack, that meant rethinking how decisions get made across its own organization first. "It was a chance for us to decide what humans own and what agents own across the organization," said Sampat. "We wanted to make that call ourselves before asking our customers and partners to make it too, and now we're helping them do exactly that: redesign how they operate, not just what tools they use."
At ContentCon in Amsterdam and Chicago, some of the biggest brands in the world will show exactly what that redesign looks like in practice:
The full lineups, including sessions with Alaska Airlines, Philips, MassMutual, Walmart Marketplace, Mondelēz International, and Forrester, are available here: Chicago, Amsterdam.
Real-World Execution & Industry Awards
New in this year’s programming at ContentCon, Contentstack will also offer official certification sessions for the Contentstack Agentic Experience Platform (AXP) and Agent OS on Day 1 of ContentCon Europe and ContentCon US. The 'Become an Agentic Pioneer' workshops will give attendees a practical playbook for deploying agentic digital experiences as well as formal certification on Contentstack's agentic platform, exclusive to ContentCon attendees at no additional cost.
ContentCon 2026 will also recognize excellence in digital experience through the Contentstack Experience Awards (CXAs), with categories for World’s Best Digital Experience, Most Successful Transformation, Best Personalization Project, Agency Partner of the Year and Technology Partner of the Year.
