What is the E-commerce Berlin Expo?
The E-Commerce Berlin Expo (EBE) is Germany’s largest B2B event for online retail – a mix of expo & conference with hundreds of exhibitors, many stages and a huge amount of networking. According to the organizer, the 10th edition is expected to attract over 14,000 trade visitors, 340+ exhibitors and 150+ speakers.
When and where?
The EBE will take place from February 17–18, 2026, from 09:00–18:00 (Day 1) and 09:00–17:00 (Day 2). The move to Messe Berlin (ExpoCenter City) is new – more space, wider aisles, more space for demo zones. Previously, the 2025 edition was still held at STATION Berlin.
Who should visit?
For brands, retailers, marketplace sellers, D2C teams, logistics & tech alike. The Expo is explicitly positioned as “Germany’s biggest B2B e-commerce event” – here you can meet decision-makers, test solutions live and fill your to-do list with concrete next steps.
Topics & segments – what to expect
The tour covers the entire value chain: shop and platform tech, payment, marketing/AI, analytics, fulfillment & logistics to CX/service. The Exhibitors page and the event app (browse exhibitors, save favorites, plan meetings) help you navigate the line-up.
Program Highlights
Keynotes, panels & masterclasses will be held on several stages; the agenda is curated via an annual Call for Speakers (including wildcard slots). This means that not only “Big Names” but also fresh cases will land on the stage – show time is of course February 17–18.
Tickets & access
Visitor tickets are available via the official website; traditionally: free for retailers & brands, while solution providers/agencies choose regular passes. Details and registration directly with the organizer.
Networking – how to get more out of it
Use networking/VIP zones and plan your meetings in advance – many providers publish slot tools or can be booked via the event app. If you’re there for the first time: arrive early, check the hall plan, set fixed “must-see” points and allow time buffers between the stages. (The EBE visitor guide also provides useful route tips.)
Masterclasses: quickly booked up – register early!
The masterclasses are the most sought-after slots at the Expo: 45–60 minute deep dives with practical cases (SEO/SEA, CRO, Data/AI, Ops & Fulfillment, Marketplaces). Places are limited and often fully booked days before the fair. Check the agenda early, put 2–3 favorites on your watchlist and register as soon as registration opens. Pro tip: Have a backup session ready and plan buffers between hall changes – no-shows are sometimes filled at short notice just before the start, so it’s worth queuing early on site.
Why a trip to Berlin for the E-commerce Expo is worthwhile
The EBE falls ideally in February – exactly when many teams are sharpening their annual roadmap. A visit is the fastest way to test new tools & technologies live, get to know partners and service providers personally and, incidentally, gather inspiration for strategy, campaigns and internationalization. You’ll walk out with a notebook full of concrete next steps – and with a team that is professionally and mentally charged to start the next few months. Bonus: In the evening you’re right in the middle of Berlin – restaurants, bars and neighborhood life instead of the “typical trade fair nowhere”.
