• The event is taking place for the 7th time at the XPOST in Cologne

• Over 380 exhibitors and almost 9,000 visitors

Hückelhoven, September 05, 2024 – On September 27, 2024, the time has come: JTL Connect welcomes all eCommerce enthusiasts to the XPOST in Cologne. Visitors can find out about the latest trends in eCommerce in over fifty presentations on seven stages, whether they are new sellers or eCommerce professionals. Another highlight of the trade fair is the excellent networking opportunities. Participants can exchange ideas with top-class exhibitors, make new contacts and get to know potential business partners. JTL-Connect ends with a spectacular after-show party on the MS RheinMagie, one of Europe’s leading event ships.

Online business up close

JTL makes online business tangible: A look behind the scenes is provided by the WMS demo warehouse, which is always the highlight for visitors. It shows how the packing and shipping of products works with the help of JTL solutions. Participants can carry out all the steps from the initial picking list to checking and shipping and have their trade fair goodies delivered to their homes. But the live demos don’t stop there. The production tool will be used live at the JTL Plan&Produce stand. The POS demo store will show trade fair visitors how to use the mobile POS app JTL-POS for retailers. Retailers will learn how to use it by helping themselves to the full candy shelves from the candy store and cashing them in.

“I’m really looking forward to experiencing our solutions live in action. At least as valuable for me is the direct exchange with customers and partners from the JTL community. Their perspective on our products is incredibly valuable and keeps us moving forward,” says JTL CEO Sebastian Evers. In addition to the demo stations, JTL will be showcasing the many facets of online business through input from industry experts. This also includes panel discussions, which are celebrating their premiere at this year’s JTL Connect. Experts from companies such as eBay and DHL will classify and examine trends and challenges in the industry at the end of the trade fair.

Get off to a good start and deepen your expertise

On September 26, the day before the trade fair, JTL also invites you to the JTL Academy Day, a full-day workshop program. This will also take place at the XPOST in Cologne and is intended to give both new sellers and experienced users a practical insight into the various software tools. Guided by developers, almost every aspect of the JTL solution world will be examined: The optimal use of the ERP system JTL-Wawi or accessibility in online stores are just a few of the numerous workshop topics.

Pre-event for networking fans

After the JTL Academy Day, the traditional warm-up networking with the JTL PreConnect starts at 6:30 pm. Visitors who have already arrived are usually invited to the get-together in the XPOST Cologne and can get in the mood for the trade fair.

The core of JTL: The community

This year’s JTL Connect will be preceded by extensive investments made at JTL by the investor Hg over the course of the year. For example, the subsidiaries countX, GREYHOUND and JERA will also be represented at the trade fair with their solutions. Overall, the growth of JTL Connect shows the increasing relevance of the JTL community and the software company itself. Startups as well as medium-sized retailers and established eCommerce companies will be represented with relevant topics in the trade fair program and have the opportunity to create profitable synergies.

JTL’s success is primarily due to its strong and long-standing focus on the community, which consists of retailers, partners, developers and other industry players. This is also reflected in the diverse topics and areas of the trade fair.
