When DMEXCO opens its doors in Cologne on September 20 and 21, the big topics of the digital economy will once again be on the agenda. This year, Europe's leading digital marketing & tech event will take place under the motto "Empowering Digital Creativity" and will explore the question of what creativity can and must look like, in times of artificial intelligence, across numerous keynotes, panel discussions and sessions.

New for 2023 - Experts Come Together at the Retail Media Summit
Retail Media is one of the hottest marketing trends and strongest growth areas of the year. Many experts see enormous potential for advertising measures with clear target groups and precise targeting thanks to first-party data. A new approach to data and the professionalisation of the sector play a major role. These are expressed, for example, through generally applicable standards and KPIs that make solutions measurable and comparable.
The topic of retail media already attracted attention at last year's DMEXCO, and the top voices of this discipline of online advertising are again expected at DMEXCO 2023. Among the speakers at the Retail Media Summit on September 20 will be Patricia Grundmann (Vice President Retail Media and Managing Director, OBI First Media Group), Jessica Koch (Director New Business & Retail Media, Douglas), Christian Raveaux (Head of Customer Insights & Media, REWE) and Maike Abel (Head of Media, CRM & Content, Nestlé).
IAB Europe’s Chief Economist, Daniel Knapp, will also be hosting a lecture on Retail Media in Europe, where he will share the market sizing, and the investment opportunities for this new space. Find out more here.
Digital Fashion in Cooperation with the Deutsches Mode Institut
It won’t only be the eyes of the digital industry, but also the eyes of the fashion industry on Cologne this September. This is because Koelnmesse, Deutsche Mode Institut (DMI) and the German Association for the Digital Economy (BVDW) are organising the Digital Fashion - The Phygital Network event for the first time as part of DMEXCO 2023. The focus will be on digitisation in the fashion industry, which, among other things, can avoid overproduction and conserve physical resources.
Due to the possibilities of digitalisation, the fashion industry is facing an epochal upheaval. All professionals involved in the industry's digital value chain will find the right environment for networking and exchanging ideas about the challenges and opportunities of digitisation at "Digital Fashion." In this way, they can benefit from a diverse range of information and inspiration, prepare for the transformation in the best possible way, and play a decisive role in shaping the digital fashion industry.
