Today, we're excited to announce the next step in that journey: the AEM Global Developer Collective!
This new community brings together AEM developers and architects from around the world through virtual and in-person events focused on technical learning, knowledge sharing, and real-world implementation experiences. The goal is simple: create a place where the global AEM community can learn from one another regardless of geography.
Why a Global Developer Collective?
The AEM ecosystem continues to evolve rapidly. Between Edge Delivery Services, Adobe Experience Manager as a Cloud Service, Document Authoring (DA), AI integrations & Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), and enterprise-scale architectures, there's never been a more exciting time to be an AEM developer.
With these innovations come new challenges. Organizations are solving increasingly complex problems, and the best solutions often come from conversations with others who have faced similar situations.
The AEM Global Developer Collective was created to foster those conversations by providing a dedicated space where developers can:
- Learn from experienced AEM architects and developers
- Share implementation successes and lessons learned
- Discuss modern AEM architecture and best practices
- Explore emerging Adobe technologies and integrations
- Build relationships with peers across the global AEM community
What to Expect
The Global Developer Collective will host a variety of events designed for developers at different stages of their AEM journey.
Topics will include:
- Adobe Experience Manager architecture
- Edge Delivery Services
- Real-world implementation stories
- Technical deep dives
- Best practices and troubleshooting
- Emerging Adobe technologies
- Interactive community discussions
Whether you're an experienced AEM architect or an aspiring developer looking to expand your knowledge, the community is designed to provide valuable insights and opportunities to connect with fellow practitioners - like the first meetup just held on complicated problems solved with AEM & Edge Delivery Services.
Learning from Real Experience
One of the most exciting aspects of the Global Developer Collective is its emphasis on practical experience.
Rather than focusing solely on product features or documentation, sessions will highlight real implementation stories, including the technical challenges, architectural decisions, and lessons learned from complex enterprise projects.
These conversations provide valuable context that simply can't be found in documentation alone.
Join the Community
The success of any user group depends on its members, and the AEM Global Developer Collective is no different.
Whether you're interested in attending events, sharing your own experiences, or simply learning from others in the community, everyone with a passion for Adobe Experience Manager is welcome.
We're looking forward to seeing this community grow and helping connect AEM professionals from around the world.
If you're passionate about Adobe Experience Manager, this is a community you won't want to miss.
