AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 24, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- The 2026 Contentstack Experience Awards (CXAs) were announced today, with Contentstack celebrating its fifth year of recognizing outstanding digital work from Contentstack customers and partners. The awards ceremony will take place live on stage at ContentCon US in Chicago on October 28, at Convene Willis Tower. This year's finalists come at a pivotal moment for brands, as they are now building digital experiences for two audiences: the people they serve and the AI agents that increasingly research, compare, and act on those people's behalf. The 2026 CXA finalists are already ahead of this shift, rethinking how content is created, managed, and delivered to build more adaptive digital experiences for what comes next.
The CXAs are a celebration of teams doing standout work in digital transformation, personalization, and partner innovation. This year, the finalists span across five categories: World's Best Digital Experience, Most Successful Transformation, Best Personalization Project, Agency Partner of the Year, and Technology Partner of the Year. The winners will be announced live at ContentCon US in Chicago on October 28.
The World's Best Digital Experience category is recognizing organizations delivering exceptional digital experiences that delight customers, drive engagement, and set new standards for digital excellence. Alaska Airlines, for instance, is a finalist for building a brand-aware digital platform where one shared codebase powers Alaska Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, and its new Atmos Rewards program, in 10 languages, with each brand keeping its own identity. This showcases the company's ability to create a cohesive digital experience that respects the unique identities of its various brands.
In the Most Successful Transformation category, Verizon Connect is a finalist for modernizing to a composable architecture powered by Contentstack's Content Cloud and Data Cloud (Lytics) to deliver fast, personalized web experiences. This transformation allows Verizon Connect to efficiently manage and deliver content across multiple platforms, ensuring a seamless and personalized user experience.
The Best Personalization Project category highlights brands using personalization to create more meaningful experiences for their customers and drive business impact. Land O'Lakes, for example, is a finalist for using dynamic, behavior-based audiences to personalize experiences across its brand websites. This approach allows the company to deliver highly relevant and personalized content to its customers, enhancing their overall experience and engagement.
The Agency Partner of the Year category recognizes agencies that have driven innovation and customer success through their work with Contentstack. Huge, for instance, is a finalist for designing and delivering category-defining digital experiences for its clients. The agency's expertise in creating compelling and innovative digital experiences is evident in the work it has done for its clients, showcasing its ability to meet and exceed client expectations.
The Technology Partner of the Year category honors technology partners that have advanced customer innovation and helped organizations get more from their digital experience ecosystem. SAP, for example, is a finalist for helping shared customers modernize their commerce and digital experiences. SAP's expertise in providing solutions that support and enhance digital experiences is highlighted by its partnership with Contentstack, enabling customers to deliver more personalized and efficient digital experiences.
The 2026 CXA winners will be announced live at ContentCon US in Chicago on October 28. The awards ceremony will take place at Convene Willis Tower, where digital leaders, marketers, developers, and tech innovators will gather to celebrate the achievements of the finalists. The opening keynote, "Inspiring Humans, Informing Agents," will explore how brands can create compelling digital experiences for people while giving AI agents the context they need to accurately understand and represent them.
Contentstack is redefining digital experiences for an increasingly agentic world. As the pioneer of the Agentic Experience Platform (AXP), Contentstack brings together structured content and brand governance (Content Cloud), real-time customer data and omnichannel personalization (Data Cloud), and autonomous AI orchestration (Agent OS) into one system.
