The Future of Retail, One Conversation at a Time
No lengthy keynotes, no filler content. Just substantive discussions, fresh perspectives, and insights worth carrying into your next conversation.
+ Friday (04.09.): Growth Engines – Retail Media, Marketplace & Retail-as-a-Service
+ Saturday (05.09.): Future & Tech – AI Scaling, Market Insights (China) & Regulation
On the 4th and 5th of September, during IFA 2026, we're opening the doors of the exclusive Marshall House for a series of short, sharp content pieces: talks, panels, and fireside chats with the people shaping the future of media, retail and technology.
At the heart of it, MediaMarktSaturn hosts two curated days of insights and networking.
Friday (04.09.2026) focuses on growth engines, namely Retail Media, Marketplace and Retail-as-a-Service, exploring how new business models and partnerships create value for brands and retailers.
Saturday (05.09.2026) looks to the future, examining how AI, technology, trust and regulation are reshaping commerce and customer relationships. Both days offer curated talks, meetings and ample opportunities for personal exchange.
And because we think that knowledge and new ideas should be available for everyone, our sessions are free for all IFA visitors.
Join us at Marshall House during IFA, and be part of the conversation.
