Introducing the 2026-2027 Adobe Champions.

09-01-2026

Celebrating the experts, innovators, and community leaders helping shape the future of Adobe solutions.

It's one of our favorite times of the year. Today, we're proud to introduce the Adobe Champions Class of 2026-2027. The 2026-2027 class reflects a diverse mix of experts spanning Adobe Analytics, Adobe Commerce, Adobe Experience Manager, Adobe Experience Platform + Apps, Adobe Marketo Engage, and Adobe Workfront.

Adobe Champions are some of Adobe's most passionate practitioners who go beyond their day-to-day roles to strengthen the communities around Adobe marketing technology. They share their expertise, help others succeed, work closely with Adobe product teams to influence the future of Customer Experience Orchestration, and explore new ways to drive innovation with AI.

You'll have the opportunity to connect with Adobe Champions through a variety of in-person and virtual events, the Experience League Communities, and social media.

We're honored to recognize this year's class and celebrate the passion, expertise, and generosity they bring to our global community.

Interested in meeting or connecting with one of these Adobe Champions? Please head over to Experience League where you can ask questions, learn from peers and network with the Adobe Champions.
