CMX steps up to help members learn and grow without asking for anything in return, shares learnings with radical transparency, and operates from the conviction that when one member wins, all members win. No member is left behind. Groundbreaking CMX is a community for the bold and ambitious. CMX believes community is the future of business and holds both the opportunity and responsibility to shape that future — through constant experimentation, innovation, and building systems that benefit future generations of community builders. Active Inclusion Building inclusive spaces is both right and value-creating. CMX does not expect its community to become diverse, equitable, and inclusive organically — it takes an active role: ensuring all practitioners can learn from shared lessons, seeking out unheard voices, making space for those voices, and working collectively to check bias and improve.
