The event features a wide range of specialist presentations, practical case studies and panel discussions on modern B2B communication, marketing and digitalisation. The focus is on current challenges and developments that companies face when marketing their products and services.

Key topics include:
Modern B2B marketing strategies
AI and digitalisation in marketing and sales
LinkedIn and social media in B2B
Brand building for industrial and technology companies

A focus on international B2B platforms and global markets
Anyone discussing the future of digital B2B sales cannot avoid the topic of internationalisation. At the elio stand, Andreas Klenk from ACKT Global will be on hand to discuss international platform strategies, global eCommerce projects and expansion into new markets. Together, elio and ACKT Global will show you the challenges and opportunities that arise when an online shop is gradually transformed into an international B2B platform.
Scaling complex B2B processes: Shopware 6 PaaS in practice
On the first day of the event at 1.00 pm, Sascha Vorderstemann (elio) and Norbert Klinnert (Noxum) will speak on the Solution Stage about scaling complex B2B processes using modern platform architectures. In their presentation ‘Scaling complex B2B processes: with Shopware 6 PaaS by elio’, they will demonstrate how companies can combine growth, internationalisation and individual business requirements on a future-proof commerce platform. The presentation is aimed at companies looking to further develop and scale their existing B2B commerce structures in the long term.
AI needs context: data as the foundation for successful AI projects
On the second day of the event at 2.20 pm, Ruben Theerkorn (elio) will demonstrate in the Marketer Lab why successful AI projects begin long before the actual AI comes into play. In his presentation ‘AI needs context: How synQup nextgen makes your system landscape AI-ready’, he explains how companies can consolidate data from ERP, PIM, CRM and e-commerce systems, thereby laying the foundations for reliable AI applications.
Using practical examples, he will demonstrate why many AI projects fail due to a fragmented data landscape and what prerequisites must be met for successful applications in marketing, content and personalisation.
Networking, insights and the B2B Heroes Party
Many of the most interesting conversations at events take place not only during the talks, but often during the breaks or whilst networking in the evening. The B2B Communication Days are deliberately organised with this in mind. Under the motto ‘Less fuss, more B2B’, the event focuses not only on expert input but also on personal encounters and strengthening existing contacts.
A special venue for this is the B2B Heroes Party, which takes place on the first day of the event from 7 pm at the Odeon Lounge in Würzburg. Here you’ll have the opportunity to meet speakers and partners in a relaxed atmosphere to continue the day’s discussions, make new contacts and share experiences.
Dennis Lisk, alias DENYO – known to many as a member of the hip-hop group Beginner – will be providing a special highlight of the programme. Not only will he be part of the evening as a DJ and MC, but he’ll also be available to visitors for personal insights and conversations as part of his fireside chat, ‘Bambule, Beats & Business’. The combination of networking, professional exchange and an extraordinary setting makes the evening an integral part of the B2B Communication Days and offers the chance to experience the event away from the conference stages.
