Berlin Shopify Meetup #06 - Date: July 2018 - Location: WeWork Sony Center

 

Hi,

Thank you all who made it this time to our Berlin Shopify Meetup. It is great to see so many familiar and new faces - the Shopify Berlin community is growing!

For those who took part this time, please take a minute to let me know how you liked it and what you would be interested to hear more about in the future.

Community announcements:

Emma says goodbye: Emma who has started the Shopify Berlin meetups since the very beginning will step down and says Lebewohl, for now. Thank you so much for all the work and effort you have put in!

Adrian takes over: Co-hosting at this meetup #06, I am really excited and honored to take over from now on. I am a Shopify merchant myself (while running an agency at the same time) and a big fan of meetups and the Shopify community as a whole.

Germany has now a partnership manager: Hagen Meischner joined Shopify some months ago, works from the Oberlo office near Görlitzer Park, and will take care to adapt the Shopify platform to the German merchants’ needs. We are happy to have you and hopefully see you regularly at the next meetups, Hagen!

Big visit from Shopify’s headquarter: At this meetup also Leia, researcher at Shopify, and Ferry, the German Shopify Product manager, from Shopify’s headquarter in Canada visited us as they were currently on research tour meeting German Shopify merchants.

Presentations:

A big thanks goes this time to our three speakers, Ivan Bremers from Händlerbund, Glynn Ryland from ShaktiMat and Paul Blezinger from Talmo.

Ivan gave us a quick deep dive into the beloved topic of the past weeks, GDPR. Free guides and further info for merchants on GDPR you can access here (they also offer a special offer for all Shopify Berlin merchants, getting the first three months for free with the code “P2010#2018”).

Glynn and Paul took us on a journey of the Shopify Buddy Program that launched in Berlin last December. If you should be interested in participating in the program let me know and I connect you with Glynn.

Save the date & join the group!

Our next meetup take place on Wednesday, August 29.  Until then join our Facebook group where we keep in touch and give updates. I will update you once the tickets go live.
 

Excited to seeing you at future meetups!
