Acquia Engage Denver 2026: Acquia Source Charts a Clear Path Forward for the Platform

This IDC Market Note discusses Acquia Engage Denver 2026. Acquia held its North American flagship event, Acquia Engage, in Denver on April 27-28, unveiling the next evolution of Acquia Source and launching Acquia AI, a no-code agentic platform embedded directly into Source. IDC attended the event and came away impressed by the product direction and the company's governance-first approach to AI, though the central challenge remains the adoption of Source among the existing customer base today, with many customers still running legacy Drupal versions."Source is the clearest vision Acquia has put forward for what its platform can become, and the AI strategy is grounded in the right priorities: governance, openness, and practical automation over hype," said Jordan Jewell, senior research director, Persuasive Content and Digital Experience at IDC. "The product is heading in the right direction, and the event painted the picture for customers of Acquia's vision for the future of DXPs and what Drupal will be."
