The E-commerce Berlin Expo, one of the most anticipated events in the e-commerce industry, is thrilled to announce its Call for Papers (CFP) contest for the upcoming 2024 edition. The event, scheduled for the 22nd of February 2024, promises to be a grand gathering with over 10,000 visitors, representing a diverse range of retailers and brands.
What is the Call for Papers Contest?
The Call for Papers contest is an integral part of E-commerce Berlin Expo. It aims to invite industry professionals to share their presentation ideas – and then, get the chance to share them live in February 2024, on one of the EBE24 stages in Berlin.
Whether it’s a well-executed project, a case study that you take pride in, or unique tips and strategies for the e-commerce community, this platform is for you.
Why case studies? Because they capture the essence of real-life challenges, opportunities, strategies, and successes. Through them, the audience gains insight into the practical aspects of the industry. You stand a much better chance of winning the contest if you come up with a case study!
Participants can submit their proposals under seven distinct categories. There are two voting phases, and the winners have the opportunity to present their idea on one of the stages of the E-commerce Berlin Expo 2024.

The CFP contest invites submissions across seven unique categories this year:
- FinTech: Delving into payments, tax operations, security, and fraud.

CFP Numbers Speak for Themselves
The E-commerce Berlin Expo’s Call for Papers (CFP) is more than just a contest; it’s a testament to excellence in the e-commerce field. Let’s take a look at what makes this so special:
- 5 conference stages open throughout the day, allowing a diverse array of topics and speakers, in front of expected 10,000+ visitors.
- A remarkable 90% of conference sessions were fully attended, reflecting the quality and relevance of the content.
- With over 400 contest entries received last year, the competition will be even fiercer this year, but it also highlights the vast pool of talent and innovation in the industry.
- Last year’s winners were nothing short of esteemed professionals, including names like Jöran Eitel from Thomann.io, Dr. Florian Nottorf from ADFERENCE, Dr. Anamika Datta from Zalando, and Dr. Ralph Hünermann from ODOSCOPE.
