eco Interaction Day

Exchange – insights and networking – in Cologne

On 4 July 2024, eco once again opened its doors at its Cologne office for the eco Interaction Day. Under the motto “eco connects – digitally and on site!”, members, partners and interested parties came together to exchange ideas on current topics in the Internet industry and to experience the many facets of eco live. Participants gained in-depth insights into the association’s various Competence Groups, initiatives, services and funding projects.

A day full of knowledge and exchange

Numerous information stands – for example on the eco Complaints Office or the Certified Senders Alliance – invited visitors to speak directly with the experts. The programme was rounded off by engaging keynotes and expert presentations. Topics included sustainable innovations for a greener Internet industry (Tim Schumacher, Eyeo), digital infrastructures as the basis for value creation in the Internet industry (Roland Broch, eco), and the role of domains and DNS in the digital ecosystem (Thomas Rickert and Lars Steffen, eco).

Networking as a central element

Just as connectivity is embedded in eco’s DNA, networking also played a central role at the Interaction Day. In addition to numerous informal opportunities for exchange, this year’s event offered two special formats: a business speed dating session, organised by networking partner SoSafe, and LiT networking, which specifically promoted exchange between women in the tech industry. Visitors used the opportunity to make new contacts and deepen existing networks. The eco community ended the day together with a relaxed BBQ.
