More than 50 speakers, 180 exhibitors and 7000 visitors from all over the world came to Berlin to exchange knowledge and gather unique e-commerce insights. E-commerce Berlin Expo took place in STATION Berlin for the fifth time in a row and was bigger and more successful than ever before.
EBE2020 was special for a few reasons. It was a jubilee edition of this prestigious conference, and it has been gaining popularity and reputation for the last five years. This year, organizers set up the bar very high, whetting up the appetite for the sixth edition in 2021.

Each stage was packed with knowledge… and people who cameto absorb it. EBE2020 was one of these events where the audience was spoilt with insightful talks and presentations of the best professionals in the business.
Visitors from over25 countries
Do not be mistaken by the name of that event. While E-commerce Berlin Expo takes place in – obviously – Berlin, it has been attracting people from all over the world who have to make extra effort to come to Berlin for this one-day event. Is it worth coming? Statistics say it right: 7000 visitors could not be wrong.
“The E-Commerce-Expo Berlin radiates a spirit of optimism that is now often missed at established events. It is a good meeting point for retailers and merchants to find out about all the building blocks necessary for successful e-commerce and to network with the right partners. The fair has a clear sales and marketing focus, but there are still a good number of professionals on site. There are also many exhibitors and visitors from all over Europe who rarely appear at comparable events.” Roland Fesenmayr, CEO, OXID eSales AG
Renowned exhibitors
It is hard to disagree that EBE attracts more and more appealing exhibitors from all over the world. The networking zone was sponsored by Dubai CommerCity, while among exhibitors you could meet Shopify, ChannelAdvisor, AustrianPost, Asendia, idealo, JTL Software, Mapp, Oxid eSales, Rakuten, Shopware or Wirecard.
Doesn’t it sound impressive? If you are on a constant lookout for business partners, amazing insights and tools for your e-commerce, you can really benefit from there a few hours spent in Berlin.
