Cologne/Germany, May 23, 2017 – More than 1,000 exhibitors, over 50,000 trade visitors, and more than 500 top speakers from the worldwide digital business are expected to come to dmexco 2017. And we will make sure that every one of them enjoys being in Cologne and benefits from dmexco as a central business and innovation platform. That is why today, about 100 days before the big show, we are working at top speed on numerous innovations. The innovations start with our plans for the halls and the exhibition grounds. This year visitors can reach dmexco via three entrances (South, North, and the entrance to Hall 6). Thanks to the new sixth hall, dmexco will be offering its exhibitors and visitors significantly more space. dmexco 2017 will establish the Expo special, World of Experience, as the central innovation hub for the marketing communication and marketing technology of tomorrow. This is where the “first movers” of the connected world will present their networked products, new consumer experiences and innovative business operations. The focal themes will include the Internet of Things, connected cars, artificial intelligence, voice technology, virtual and augmented reality, and numerous facets of the smart home. You can find more information about the dmexco World of Experience at http://dmexco.com/world-of-experience/. Inspiring keynote speeches and controversial talks about the increasingly important theme area Connected World, as well as all the other highlights from previous dmexco events, are now available on the restructured dmexco video channel at http://dmexco.com/video/. Relevant content can now be captured in five minutes instead of 45 minutes and shared directly with the community via the social media.

Newcomers from all over the world will make their pitches at the dmexco Start-up Village
The dmexco Start-up Village will occupy a hall of its own for the first time. More than 150 popular newcomers from the fields of marketing, media and tech will present innovative business ideas — mainly related to the Internet of Things — at dmexco 2017.
