Renowned speakers from diverse backgrounds shared their visions for the future, offering a blend of inspirational talks and practical solutions. Interactive sessions and collaborative forums fostered a community-oriented atmosphere, empowering attendees to pioneer transformative changes in their organizations.

SCD 2023 was an impactful business event that brought together industry leaders and innovators from around the globe. The focus was on the latest trends in digital commerce, with expert-led panels discussing the future of ecommerce, the impact of AI technologies, and sustainable business practices. Highlights included engaging keynote speeches and ample networking opportunities.

As the biggest hybrid event for the international ecommerce community, we were more connected than ever. Whether you were soaking up the SCD feeling live and in person at the Tobit Campus in Ahaus, or were joining us online from anywhere in the world – the SCD 2022 was the place-to-be to exchange ideas and inspire each other.

A legendary SCD with legendary keynotes is behind us – for the second time completely digital. With over 5000 participants this was the biggest SCD ever! On a total of three stages, more than 70 lectures and educational masterclasses provided plenty of inspiration. Highlights of the event were international top-level speakers such as Steve Wozniak and Gary Vaynerchuk, as well as the upcoming Shopware features the Flow Builder and Guided Shopping. Thanks to each and every one of you who made the SCD 2021 unforgettable!

This year we look back on a very special SCD. Not only was this the 10th Shopware Community Day on the company's 20th anniversary, but also the first SCD to take place in a completely digital setting. We had two days of inspiring and informative programs for the community, with the first day being dedicated entirely to retailers and the second to developers. More than 3000 participants proved how flexible, future-oriented and agile our community is - despite the pandemic!

An unforgettable Shopware Community Day lies behind us. This year, a staggering 2500 visitors accepted our invitation to network with over 50 exhibitors and listen to 40 keynotes. The highlight of the day was the surprising announcement of Shopware 6. The event was celebrated by the community during the legendary afterparty – the performance of singer Cascada being a highlight. We thank you for a day full of inspiration, ideas, and many stimulating conversations!

Themed "Beyond Horizon" the SCD 2018 took place at the Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord for the first time. More than 2000 ecommerce enthusiasts joined us to look into the future of digital commerce. The highlight of the day was the Shopware 5.5 release and the new platform Playground, with allows retailers and developers to experiment. After a day full of inspiring and informative keynotes on four different stages, an extraordinary afterparty made the event complete.

"Hello human!" was the topic for the Shopware Community Day 2017 – for a reason, because there has never been a Shopware release so close to the people as the new version 5.3. Together with more than 1600 ecommerce enthusiasts, over 40 exhibitors, and 50 inspiring speakers, we marked the beginning of a new customer era. Of course, we celebrated the event and were networking with the entire community until late in the night. Great connections have been established and we grew even stronger together. We say?

At this year’s Shopware Community Day we took over 1600 excited visitors on a journey to discover the "unexplored digital ocean" with the motto "Digital Blue". In the context of this theme, Stefan Hamann announced that Shopware will no longer be encrypting the product in the upcoming version 5.2 so that every line of code can be viewed soon. The legendary afterparty rounded off another groundbreaking event for the community.

In order to unite the entire Shopware universe, this year's SCD took place on one day instead of two days. The vibrant audience, consisting of 1500 visitors and over 40 exhibitors, experienced the unique day true to the motto "circus ecommerce". But it wasn't just the fire artists that created excitement in the audience, but also the new Shopware 5.1 and the transformation of bepado into Shopware Connect. We celebrated the successful day along with our community at the infamous SCD afterparty.

In 2014 over 1500 guests and around 50 exhibitors accepted the invitation to the Shopware Community Day in Ahaus and the Shopware Developer Day on the following day. We're thankful for two unforgettable days with the community! In 2014 we were able to bury the bepado beta version - as bepado 1.0 is finally here! As always, the Shopware Community Day was celebrated until the early hours with an incredible afterparty and plenty of networking opportunities!

This was an unforgettable Shopware Community Day including the first Shopware Developer Conference. The two-day event attracted a total of 1300 ecommerce enthusiasts and around 50 exhibitors to the Tobit Atrium in Ahaus. The unquestioned highlight of the day was Darth Vader and Shopman, who introduced the new Shopware marketplace bepado. The successful day was celebrated with a legendary afterparty.

The theme of the Shopware Community Day 2012 was "Back to the Future" - we even had the DeLorean onsite in Ahaus! With a total of 900 visitors and 27 exhibitors, the SCD 2012 was more than twice as big as last year - the community is growing rapidly! The highlight of the day was the impressive keynote on Shopware 4. Together we celebrated the end of the event in style at the Dive! nightclub.

The first Shopware Community Day with over 400 visitors joining us in Ahaus was a great success. We say thank you to the fantastic ecommerce community! The highlight of the day was the new Shopware Connect, which enables the linking of shop systems. The exciting day was made complete by an informal community dinner followed by a fantastic afterparty and plenty of networking opportunities.
