You can be certain to find a comprehensive overview of technology and solutions for advertising campaigns, digital marketing, marketing strategies, presentations, and search engine optimisation. The exhibition values problem solvers and disruptors, which is why DMEXCO has a dedicated Start-up Village populated by 200 companies, who are promising radical change. At the forefront of new trends are the expo and conference. The massive upheaval that NFTs has caused is the principal topic of the conversation. The future lies in crypto firms, and current predictions point many crypto firms will break into the top 10 companies over the next ten years. Intermediaries and brokers are going to be doomed by the new technology. DMEXCO is here to give professionals all the tools and information to navigate these tumultuous times, and explores the future of Web3.

Who Are You Going to Meet?

Given all that’s been said about DMEXCO, it’s not surprising to expect a diverse group that has a high impact on the industry. We’re talking marketing decision-makers, agencies, marketers, digital professionals and advertisers, who are coming not just to network, but also to inform themselves on all that’s pertinent in their specific niche. That’s why you’ll find a concentration of influencers and experts at the Congress Stage that’s the main feature of the DMEXCO Conference, where future trends emerge. Cologne is the base for the proceedings, but DMEXCO has a strong international character, as seen by the fact exhibitors represent 40 different countries. 

You can say that the entire digital marketing community meets under one roof. This is certainly the case if you look at the companies, which make it a point to attend year after year. Microsoft Advertising, Google, MediaMarktSaturn Retail Group, Amazon Germany, Acxiom, Shopware, IBM iX DACH, Akeneo and Adobe are names you’ll regularly encounter at DMEXCO.

Additional Value of Attending 

DMEXCO promotes connections between professionals and experts throughout the entire year. The pandemic has led organisers to become a lot more creative about how they approach public connections when they can’t happen in person. The all-digital edition served as the launch pad of the DMEXCO Community platform that keeps you well-informed about industry news. Another recent addition is the creation of a brand-new event called the Digital Spring Summit. 

Held half a year before DMEXCO, the digital summit serves as a way for attendees to reconnect a little before the real deal and catch up on news. The first summit performed impressively with 25 hours of generated content and 6000 participants. Attending the summit prepares you for the main topics of discussions and trends in the spotlight at DMEXCO. All programming is available for all attendees on the expo’s official digital platform. 

Where would the digital revolution be without startups? DMEXCO has dedicated a special area for startups to share their vision with the rest of the community. Are you a new company that does something no one else does? Are you a digital business? Then you can sign up to be part of the thriving Start-up Area at DMEXCO. Exhibitors will have the chance to grow their professional network by meeting makers, innovators, visionaries, marketing and media experts, techies, and creatives.

The conference at DMEXCO covers a massive territory of topics. You have topic stages that tailor their programming to different worlds (Agencies, E-Commerce, Media, Tech).
