Official ticket sales for JTL Connect 2017 start today, marking the third round of the JTL in-house exhibition. To do justice to the successful events from the two previous years, we have plenty of exciting presentations, exhibitors and activities in store this time too.
The basics
As in previous years, JTL Connect 2017 will take place in Düsseldorf, the capital of North Rhine-Westphalia, on August 25. Unlike before, however, this time the venue will be the Mitsubishi Electric HALLE. Concertgoers from the Rhine metropolis already know: you can expect over 3,000 square meters of event space with a view of the green Volksgarten next door.
Throughout the day, we will offer you more than 30 specialist presentations on trends, news and information about JTL products and the world of eCommerce in the main plenum and three other rooms. An integral part of the event since the first JTL Connect is of course the keynote speech by JTL founder Thomas Lisson. He will provide insights into the current status and new paths that the company will be taking in the coming year.
Another key topic at JTL Connect is the JTL-Fulfillment Network, which was announced last year. We will provide you with the first concrete information on this in the next few days – at the trade fair, for example, we will support this with illustrative live examples.
To get you in the right mood, you can find the summary of JTL Connect 2016 here:
Partners and exhibitors
Our partners, both from the service and technology sectors, will also be on site. For example, the main sponsor DHL will report on fulfillment in European eCommerce. However, if you are more interested in Amazon and Co, the presentation on Amazon Growth Hacking by Trutz Fries is a good choice. In addition to presentations, many partners will be represented with stands and are looking forward to talking to you about solutions, innovations and services.
JTL speed dating
Before you ask yourselves: No, we are not competing with Parship. Rather, speed dating is our campaign for this year. On the JTL Connect website, we will introduce you to a new partner for the speed dating area every two weeks. There you will find several available time slots for which you can apply. If you receive your desired time slot, you will have 15 minutes to talk exclusively with the respective product owner or developer about a concern, feedback or similar.
JTL-WMS Live Demo
Anyone who was there last year already knows it. In the exhibition area you will find a sample warehouse where you can try out our warehouse management system live. See for yourself what advantages and increased efficiency you can achieve by using JTL-WMS. Of course, the JTL-Packing Bench+ will also be there to support online retailers in packing and shipping their sales orders.
The evening before...
…is part of the JTL PreConnect. Our pre-evening event is aimed in particular at early arrivals and online retailers from the surrounding area. To get in the mood for our event highlight of the year, we invite you together with the Händlerbund to a social get-together along the lines of the JTL regulars’ tables.
The evening after...
The evening after…
…starts with the after-show party. We invite you to BBQ, cocktails and cool drinks. To provide the right relaxed lounge atmosphere for your physical well-being, a DJ and a live band will accompany the evening. There will also be the perfect view of the countryside from the venue. We are particularly looking forward to the exciting conversations and a unique evening with you.
Come along and don’t miss out on all the eCommerce news and information, direct contact with members of the JTL network and a brilliant evening event! We look forward to your visit!
