The Invite-only forum for Heads of eCommerce, Digital and Marketing from leading DACH retailers

10/31/2023

eTail Germany Connect is the leading invitation-only event for Heads of eCommerce, Digital and Marketing from leading DACH retailers. We provide high-level networking through a VIP, closed-door experience, supplemented by pre-qualified 1-1 meetings with hand-picked solution providers.

In October 2023, over 2 days we brought together 100+ Heads of eCommerce, Digital and Marketing from leading DACH retailers to the luxury venue, Hotel Palace in Berlin! We hosted 16 engaging sessions to encourage benchmarking and learning from these senior peers. In addition, we offered 9 stand-alone 1-1 meeting slots; resulting in a total of 238 pre-qualified 30 minute meetings. Not just this, we also had networking experiences from our Beer & Bubbles Roundtables to our Mastercard Gala Dinner!

Our senior attendees represented some of DACH’s leading retailers, such as:

MediaMarktSaturn, Redcare Pharmacy, Douglas, Zooplus, Kellanova, Zalando SE, Reckitt Benckiser, Meta, H&M, AVA & MAY, Redcare Pharmacy, Flaconi, home24, Kellogg's, BMW, Motatos & adidas
