Public voting for the 11th 'Call for Speakers' concludes, narrowing a record pool of entries for the February 2027 event.
The E-commerce Berlin Expo (EBE) editorial team, writing for Ecommerce Germany, announced the conclusion of the public voting phase for the 2027 "Call for Speakers" on September 5, 2026. A record 911 submissions were narrowed down to a group of finalists. This selection process ensures the conference agenda focuses on real-world application rather than theory.
The Expo, scheduled for February 17-18, 2027, at Messe Berlin, relies on industry participation to build its schedule. Organizers source approximately 40% of the entire conference agenda directly through this open submission and voting model. This approach replaces "pay-to-play" speaking slots with practitioners who provide evidence-based insights into growth strategies, technology, and operations.
The guiding principle is simple: less hype, more substance. We are looking for practical insights, evidence-based approaches, and honest stories about what worked and what didn’t.
The high volume of submissions highlights a demand among performance marketers, logistics experts, and retail tech providers to share localized case studies. For the affiliate and performance marketing sectors, the event provides a platform to discuss evolving attribution models and AI integration in customer acquisition.
While the public vote determines the finalists, a professional jury handles the final selection stage. Industry Advisors evaluate the remaining proposals to curate the stage lineup. This two-tier system combines public interest with expert vetting to maintain editorial standards and market relevance.
The EBE selection process includes a "Wildcard track" to capture innovative ideas that missed the top public vote counts. Organizers provide a stage for these concepts regardless of the speaker's social media reach or company size.
The organizers will reveal the final speaker list on October 21, 2026. For the affiliate industry, the agenda reflects a shift toward first-party data strategies and sustainable e-commerce practices. These topics emerged as recurring themes among the top-voted submissions.
As the e-commerce landscape faces shifting consumer behaviors and tightening marketing budgets, the E-commerce Berlin Expo 2027 serves as an operational knowledge hub. Early community involvement allows the event to reflect the industry’s most pressing challenges. The full lineup, featuring speakers from across the retail, tech, and performance marketing spectrum, will be finalized this October.
