BECOME A SPEAKER

Share your expertise, experiences, or success stories with thousands of e-commerce professionals. Submit your topic, tell us why it matters, and take the stage at E‑commerce Berlin Expo 2026!

YOUR INPUT, REAL IMPACT

E‑commerce moves fast - and the most valuable insights come from the people living it every day. That’s why every year we open the Call for Speakers - to hear from the community, discover what keeps you up at night, and bring those real, practical topics to the stage. In fact, 40% of the conference agenda comes directly from speaker submissions, ensuring the Expo covers the issues that truly matter.

We’re looking for industry leaders, founders, and innovators in e-commerce and retail: people with practical insights, inspiring stories, or breakthrough ideas. Expertise matters more than sales pitches. Take just 3 minutes to submit your idea and secure your chance to speak in February 2026.
