JTL Connect 2026 takes place on October 2, 2026 at XPOST Cologne. Laioutr is on site and available for conversations about modern frontends in the JTL ecosystem. JTL-Software GmbH hosts its eighth Connect. The organizers expect around 2,000 visitors, more than 60 exhibitors and over 40 expert talks. The focus is on news from the JTL ecosystem, AI in online retail and agentic commerce: in the morning on the Main Stage, from midday on seven topic stages, and back on the main stage for the closing headliner. Speakers include Sebastian Evers (CEO JTL), Philipp Klöckner, Ryan Prichard (PayPal) and Robin-Manuel Thiel (JTL). The supporting program starts the day before: on October 1, the Academy Day offers hands-on workshops directly in the JTL software, followed by the Pre-Connect in the evening. After the main day, the after-show party takes place aboard the MS RheinMagie. The JTL ecosystem is an important environment for Laioutr. With the JTL app, orders from a Laioutr frontend are passed directly to JTL, while pages, content and campaigns are managed in the visual editor Studio. Teams working with JTL that want a more flexible frontend will find the right contact on site.
