Who we are

Our mission

Advance and empower the global Magento community and commerce ecosystem through open collaboration, education, and thought leadership.

Magento Association

The Magento Association is dedicated to fostering and supporting technology projects, community events, training and education, and online collaboration. The Magento community has a rich history in building collaborative programs and successful events across geographies. The Magento Association is building upon that to complete the vision: An open, healthy and powerful Magento ecosystem for continued success of future generations.

Join our Community

History

For nearly a decade, the Magento community has organized and hosted Magento-focused events around the world, bringing community members together to learn, share and collaborate on commerce challenges. Many people became business partners and some even became lifelong friends. At the Imagine 2018 conference Magento, an Adobe company, announced that it will partner with the organization behind the Meet Magento events and the entire global Magento community to create the new Magento Association.

Four Pillars of the Magento Association

The Magento Association has developed four pillars to represent the lenses through which we view every opportunity and decision that comes before the Board of Directors. In a world of infinite possibilities as to how we serve our diverse, global community, the pillars help us determine what we will spend our finite resources on as we pursue our mission to advance and empower the global Magento community and commerce ecosystem through open collaboration, education, and thought leadership.
