B2B Communication Days 2026: Our impressions from Würzburg
On October 7 and 8, 2026, the Vogel Communications Group brought marketing and communications leaders from industry, technology and B2B to Würzburg, Germany. Under the motto “Less fluff, more B2B,” the B2B Communication Days entered their second edition. Our colleague Martin Göbel attended on behalf of EIKONA Media. Here is what we took away from the event.

Two keynotes, one clear message
Two keynotes stood out in particular. Jean-Remy von Matt summed it up in a single sentence: “You can only overtake on the racing line.” In other words, if your brand wants to lead, you have to show up where the competition is toughest.
Borussia Dortmund took a very different angle that turned out to be closely related. The football club describes its positioning like this: “We are an intense community, always on the offensive.” An advertising legend and a football club are two worlds that seem to have little to do with B2B at first glance. Still, both hit the mark, because they show how much power lies in a clear stance that is lived consistently.
Brands come to life where images and product data meet
The conversations with marketing leaders from industry were just as valuable as the stage program. One thing stood out: almost every discussion about brand eventually came down to the same question. How do images, product data and content come together so that a brand appears equally strong in every channel?
Website, online store, catalog, social media or trade show booth: as soon as assets are stored in different places and product information is maintained separately, brand consistency suffers. This is exactly what we work on at EIKONA Media every day. With TESSA DAM, you manage images, videos and documents centrally, link them to your product data and distribute them to every channel, always in the right, approved version.
Production quality on par with major industry events
The B2B Communication Days also impressed in terms of production. Stages, lighting, atmosphere and audience were on a level reminiscent of formats like K5 and DMEXCO. The event shows that a conference with a clear B2B focus and the experience quality of major industry events are not mutually exclusive. Industry and technology deserve a big stage, and Würzburg delivered one without sacrificing substance.
