Can you hardly wait like us? In exactly four days, JTL Connect will once again open its doors at the Mitsubishi Electric Halle in Düsseldorf. But that’s not all: our eCommerce trade fair is celebrating its 5th anniversary on this day, so you can look forward to many program highlights and promotions on August 30. We have summarized exactly what these are in this article:
A day full of exciting presentations
What would JTL Connect be without its colorful lecture program? This year, around 30 speakers will be sharing their eCommerce knowledge with you on four different stages. The presentations cover as wide a spectrum as possible so that you can find topics that are interesting and exciting for you, both as an industry newcomer and as an “old hand” in eCommerce.
The keynote speech by Thomas Lisson will once again kick off the trade fair day this year. Here he will provide you with deep insights into the development status of important JTL products and reveal one or two secrets about what will happen in the coming months.
So that you don’t have to wait too long, this week we are giving you a preview of our Business Intelligence solution JTL-BI, which was first announced in spring, as well as the long-awaited JTL-Shop 5 in a separate blog post and are already providing you with initial information.
After the keynote, various eCommerce giants will take to our four stages. For example, PayPal, who will present their new business credit and show why investments are essential for healthy growth in online business.

Software you can touch
If you don’t just want to listen, but want to get active yourself, you will of course also find what you are looking for at JTL Connect. Two large demo areas are waiting to be discovered by you on our exhibition area this time:
At the XXL demo stand of JTL-POS you will have the opportunity to get to know our new POS software and its features. You can also test the products of our payment and hardware partners live on site and look forward to a corresponding trade fair promotion. Our connected JTL-POS demo store invites you to choose a free product of your choice from selected sponsors and experience the POS functions of JTL-POS in productive operation.
Our JTL-WMS demo warehouse is popular every year and therefore even bigger this time. Here you can pick and pack as many trade fair goodies as you can and then send them home to you – and look forward to receiving your package of merchandise items after JTL Connect.
At the same time, you can see for yourself the benefits of warehousing managed with JTL-WMS, which helps you to optimize your logistics processes and avoid errors in the picking and packing process.
More exhibitors on a larger area
The 5th anniversary of JTL Connect was reason enough for us to expand the exhibition space by an additional 300 square meters in order to offer you as a visitor an even greater variety of products and bidders. To make it easier for you to find your way between the many product and service presentations from the areas of marketplaces, payment, logistics, internationalization, marketing and much more, we have come up with something new: This year there are new theme worlds in which central JTL products have been given their own stand. These will serve as orientation points for you, as all exhibitors are thematically placed around the respective JTL product.
Those of you who have subscribed to our event newsletter will already have read about the wide range of listings from our 80 or so exhibitors at JTL Connect 2019. We would like to introduce two more of them to you here:
At the frucht.bar (stand B13), for example, WebStollen, emarketing and doofinder will serve you a free organic smoothie and show you how you can take your JTL-Shop to a new level in terms of professional shop search and automated performance marketing and raise potential sales treasures – including a cool trade fair promotion. In addition, WebStollen will be presenting its latest product, dash.bar, to a large audience for the first time after a 6-month BETA phase, including a completely new smartphone app, with which you always have important store key figures and valuable information about your own online store with you in your pocket.
The Diagonal Group is offering you a day of digital happenings at JTL-Connect: it will be presenting you with a simple and convenient way to optimize your dunning and debt collection processes with a simple set-up in JTL-Wawi. As a full-service provider in this segment, the Diagonal Group creates solutions and added value for its customers and configures a variety of highly complex service components so that you can integrate them with ease. Would you like to discuss trends and innovations and win an iPad? You’ll have the opportunity to do so at the Diagonal Group’s stand B2.
Last but not least: Networking and after-show party
JTL Connect is aptly named, because the focus throughout the day is on “connecting”. Be it in our café area with its own barista service or at our well-known after-show party. Once again this year, you can look forward to cool drinks, live music and some culinary surprises.
Our video with a summary of the last four years also gives you a little foretaste of the JTL Connect trade fair day on August 30:
