How to Vote

Create an account on CXM and select your top five TechStars, ranking them in the order of your choosing.

Once your votes have been submitted, the team will oversee the process of calculating the final order of 2026’s TechStars. This final ranking will come from the accumulation of total readers’ votes and judges’ scores.

Leading into CX Vision 2035

Tech Stars is also the launchpad for something bigger. Later this year (November 5th), we’re bringing the CX industry together at CX Vision 2035 — the moment where senior CX leaders, strategists, and the most influential voices in technology meet in London to map out the next decade of customer experience. Our Tech Stars and CXM Stars sit right at the heart of that. They’re the people whose thinking will shape the conversations, set the priorities, and define what it actually takes for businesses to compete on customer experience over the years ahead.
