Malbek Announces Full Agenda for Envision 2026, Featuring Exclusive Smash Mouth Concert Experience and Builds on Star-Studded Keynote Lineup

Malbek pulls back the curtain on the full Envision 2026 experience and saves the best for last.

Austin, TX, Sept. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Malbek, the leader in contract lifecycle management (CLM) powered by contract intelligence, today announced the full agenda for Malbek Envision 2026, including the reveal of its closing night concert experience: Malbek City Limits, featuring a private, exclusive performance by Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum rock band Smash Mouth at the legendary Stubbs in Austin, TX.

Malbek City Limits, a nod to the iconic Austin City Limits, caps three days of keynotes, certifications, workshops, and networking at Hotel Van Zandt with a night that only Austin could deliver. Smash Mouth, whose feel-good anthems like "All Star," "Walkin’ on the Sun," and their iconic reimagining of "I'm a Believer" have defined a generation of pop culture, will take the stage exclusively for Envision 2026 attendees on Wednesday evening, October 14.

"Every single moment of this agenda was designed to make you feel something," said Ed Breault, Chief Marketing Officer at Malbek. "Certifications, keynotes, puppies, dueling pianos, and Smash Mouth closing us out at Stubbs. We did not come here to play it safe. Limitless isn't just our theme. It's a promise that we are delivering to every customer."

3 Days of Limitless Experiences

Envision 2026 opens on Monday, October 12 with Malbek's pre-conference certification program, offering two professional tracks: Admin Essentials for those building their CLM foundation, and the Advanced Data Insights certification for experienced admins ready to prove advanced data mastery. The conference officially kicks off that evening with Limitless Live, an unfiltered keynote with Malbek's executive team, followed by the Welcome Reception, featuring live music, great food, and a puppy adoption pop-up presented as part of Malbek's Leave It Better™ community giving program.

Tuesday, October 13 opens with the previously announced keynote lineup, led by NASA astronaut and recurring guest as himself on the CBS hit comedy The Big Bang Theory, Mike Massimino. Malbek CEO Hemanth Puttaswamy will then take center stage to share more on the future of Commercial Intelligence. The day closes with the Stars of CLM Awards Ceremony, honoring the community's brightest innovators, leaders, and MVPs. Attendees will close out the night at Geraldine's inside Hotel Van Zandt for 88 and Limitless, an exclusive dueling piano night with Felix & Fingers.

Wednesday, October 14 brings a full day of breakout sessions, workshops, and roundtables. The day will cover everything from AI ROI and contract intelligence to implementation best practices, amendment management, and enterprise integrations. Shashi Bellamkonda will take the main stage with his keynote, "Proving AI ROI When the CFO Has Heard It All Before." Hall of Fame speaker Christine Cashen will also take the main stage with "The Limitless Mindset: How to Be a Better Human in an AI World," a high-energy, zero-fluff keynote on staying fully human—and building the kind of connection no algorithm can replicate—in an AI-powered world. The evening culminates with Malbek City Limits, a private concert experience featuring Smash Mouth.

Smash Mouth is currently on the road in support of their worldwide "Go For The Moon Tour 2026" supporting the release of their current album, Mercury Comet.

The band continues to earn new generations of fans across film, television, sports, and advertising.
