Shopware Community Day
Every year, the Shopware Community Day brings together eCommerce enthusiasts from across Europe to discover current and future trends.
Following the motto “Beyond Horizon” at the Shopware Community Day 2018, we ventured beyond the classic scope of eCommerce to explore what lies ahead. In his opening keynote, Shopware founder and CEO Stefan Hamann urged each and every one of us to hold tight of our childhood creativity and have the courage to forge new paths moving forward. Numerous top speakers shared similar messages and presented their own views on the current and future state of eCommerce, digitisation and the world of tomorrow.
Thank you for being there and making the day such an unforgettable event. Relive the Shopware Community Day in our recap and experience the exciting moments from a completely new perspective.
Keynotes of the main stage
Stefan Hamann
Opening keynote - Beyond Horizon
When it comes to turning ideas into sustainable projects, the preservation of imagination and courage to go beyond your own boarders play a determining role. In his opening keynote, Stefan Hamann shows why everyone should hold tight to their creativity, how Shopware exercises imagination and what is currently being researched and developed. Look forward to learning more about the next Shopware release and what you can expect in the near future.

Radical digital – from the product to the customer
In his slot, Peter Wippermann provides answers to burning questions about current changes in society. Why does digital media change our everyday life? Why do people up to 34 years old prefer to meet in the virtual world? Why do consumers value data from the past, present and future?

Johannes Altmann
The lucky ones!
We sit in the waiting room of perfection and wait for the day when our shop will be successful. Occasionally, a new hype startles us from our complacent idling and we run in the wrong direction with irrational exuberance. We lose our bearings in the forest of possibilities and forget to think of the customer's happiness. In this presentation, Johannes Altmann provides reorientation and takes us on an excursion into the roots of what we do.
