Your JTL Connect – two days, packed with highlights
From the Academy Day right through to the after-show party: shape your JTL Connect experience exactly the way you want it. Here’s a first look at how both days will unfold. The full programme with all the slots follows in the coming weeks – stay tuned.
Academy Day – Hands-on to evolve.
The JTL Academy Day is the perfect kickoff to JTL Connect, a full day of hands-on learning, inspiration, and direct interaction with our experts. Together with our Product Owners, developers, and selected partners, you’ll experience live demonstrations of how our solutions for logistics, scalability, sales, and AI solve even the most complex eCommerce challenges. You’ll leave with practical insights, concrete use cases, and actionable knowledge you can immediately apply to your own business.
What to expect
Choose from four specialized learning tracks, each focused on a different area of eCommerce. Every track includes three 90-minute deep-dive sessions dedicated to a specific JTL product or solution. Since all four tracks run simultaneously, you’ll select one session during each time slot, allowing you to customize your own Academy Day experience.
With just 30 to 50 participants per session, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to ask questions, exchange ideas, and connect directly with our product experts.
The full Academy Day agenda will be announced soon.
Academy Day is exclusively available to JTL Connect ticket holders. Space is limited.
Operate & Scale
Get an exclusive first look at our new ERP Cloud solution and discover how Finance powered by JERA and Tax powered by countX work together to make accounting and tax management more transparent, efficient, and automated. You’ll also have the opportunity to participate in an App Hackathon, where you’ll build your own apps using the Hub.
Sell & Grow
See Dynamic Pricing powered by Dealavo in action, learn how to optimize your business for B2B customers, and explore advanced multichannel strategies, from connecting new marketplaces and online stores to expanding into new customer segments, including B2B.
Logistics
Experience the entire fulfillment process firsthand, from inbound goods and efficient warehouse operations to returns management. This track is divided into three sessions: Shipping 2.0, WMS, and Returns powered by Returnless, each offering practical insights into optimizing logistics workflows and creating a seamless fulfillment experience.
AI
Discover how our new AI agent platform, Juno, helps you automate and optimize your business processes with intelligent agents. Additional sessions explore Agentic Commerce & GAIO and Customer Service AI, demonstrating how AI supports smarter decision-making, streamlines operations, and delivers better customer experiences.
Pre-Connect
After the Academy Day, we’ll wind down the evening together: the Pre-Connect is a relaxed kick-off in a laid-back atmosphere – for everyone arriving a day early. The perfect chance to make your first connections in peace, before the big stage calls the next day.
Connect — 6 stages, one ecosystem
On the main day, you’ll hear all the latest news and innovations from the JTL universe, while also getting an update on the most important topics in e-commerce. That way, you’ll be ready to actively help shape the future and be among the winners of the current AI momentum. From 09:30 until early evening, the full programme runs across six stages, alongside our Guided Tours, which take you straight to your favourite topics.
After-Show Party
When the programme ends, the evening is only just getting started: our legendary after-show party aboard the MS RheinMagie brings the whole community together on board. Good food, drinks and networking with views over the Rhine – this is where the day’s best conversations simply carry on.
The Stages
6 stages along your merchant journey
In the morning we’ll all start together on the Main Stage; from midday, the programme spreads out across the themed stages – for the finale, we’ll bring everyone back to the big stage for the headliner.

Guided Tours
Instead of navigating the event buzz on your own, our Guided Tours take you straight to the topics that really interest you. Together with a JTL guide, you’ll explore relevant exhibitors in a small group along a clear focus area – for example AI & Agentic Commerce, Multichannel, B2B, the 360° value chain or Logistics Excellence. This way, you’ll get the key insights and answers in no time – with no detours.
Please note: The tours start from 12:30, places are limited.
