Last Thursday, we once again gathered at the RheinEnergieSTADION in Cologne for our e-Commerce Day 2026! The energy was fantastic as colleagues, partners and industry leaders came together to connect, learn, share ideas, and celebrate what we are building. 🙌 Like the past years, we kicked things off the evening before with our traditional beach BBQ and some volleyball – the perfect way to catch up in a relaxed setting and get the energy going for the main event. The main day was once again packed with milestones and highlights: 🎤 We hosted 36 speakers who shared great insights on the future of our industry, including some of our own awesome colleagues like Bastian Balzer, Nicolas Neubauer , Felix Preuss, Eleni Dingiludis, Viola Trabold, Tenesha Hutchinson, Anabela Maticevic and so many more. 👥 The venue welcomed 2000 visitors throughout the day. 🏢 A total of 111 exhibitors showcased their latest innovations. 📣 Our CEO, Gerald Schönbucher Schoenbucher, shared a massive update: Kaufland Global Marketplace is expanding to Spain and the Netherlands in late summer this year, becoming the largest marketplace network originating from Europe. Stay tuned and follow Kaufland Global Marketplace for updates! 🥳 As per tradition, we wrapped up the entire experience with an after-show party for everyone. ❤️ A huge thank you goes out to all of our colleagues who worked tirelessly behind the scenes or on the stage to make this day a complete success. We love seeing our team spirit in action! Check out these pictures to see the faces of some of our KECse who make the magic happen! #KECCulture #ThisIsWhoWeAre #KauflandECommerce #EcommerceDay
