Exciting Commerce // Unlimited: K5 Conference Countdown: The “Who’s Who” of German E-commerce

In the last few days there was a grab for the last few K5 Conference tickets, especially from interested retailers. The event is now sold out!

Therefore a big thank you now to all participating retailers and e-commerce representatives for the vote of confidence. Everybody who’s anybody from the current (and future) German e-commerce scene has come on board. From Alternate to Zalando and from Amazon to Weltbild, the broadest spectrum of market areas are here.

Several complete industries are represented. From the book industry with Buch.de/Bol up to Buecher.de. All four of the big teleshopping networks (1-2-3.tv, Channel21, HSE24, QVC). Furthermore Groupon, Vente-Privée and several of the young innovation drivers are coming out.

We are happy to welcome many wine retailers - from Ebrosia to Meevio. Also several consumer electronics dealers such as Cyberport, Notebooksbilliger and Synaxon/PC Spezialist as well as practically all beauty product retailers. Home furnishing companies are represented by such names as Avandeo, Design3000, Westwing, Wilmowsky and XXXLutz. Just as well represented is the fashion segment where not only market portals are participating but also many brand manufacturers (Strenesse, Seidensticker, Street One, etc.).

Prescription glasses and contact lens retailers like Brille24, Lensspirit and MisterSpex are as well covered as the baby product market with Baby-Markt, Baby Walz and Windeln.de. In the sport and lifestyle segment, Bergfreunde, Planet Sports, Keller Sports and Frontline are amongst the names represented in this sector. Adding to this are construction material companies, online supermarkets and a load of retailers related to motor vehicles. Very present is the mass customization theme with such companies as Personalnovel, PosterXXL, Renesim, Woonio, Selve, Shirtinator and Spreadshirt.

How should a modern e-commerce conference for online retailing look like? That was the question raised by Exciting Commerce during the conception of the K5 Conference. And it was clear from the beginning that the program alone wouldn’t be the key driver. The K5 lives from the participants and the exchange of ideas between them. Whether it be during the program breaks or during the evening event, finally retailers from across the German e-commerce landscape will be able to trade information about their various development consultants and IT agency experiences instead of the other way around.

The response received has shown that a Pure Player conference also draws the attention of retailers who use multiple sales channels. We are therefore pleased to welcome the participation from Douglas, Obi, Baldur Garten, Jochen Schweizer, Louis Sayn, Neckermann, Otto and its daughter companies – from Baur to Bon Prix, from Heine to Mirapodo and from Limango to Smatch.

Very surprising was how many former CEOs, e-commerce and project leaders are now working as independent consultants. Anyone looking for qualified services on freelance or permanent basis will surely find what they need at the K5.

And on this topic: Expect a New Kind of E-commerce Conference! On the 6^th and 7^th of October in Munich, Germany.

A special thanks to our top sponsors who have made the impossible possible. The first K5 Conference for E-commerce
