Last year, Spryker EXCITE took things to the next level!

The first truly hybrid conference of the industry, Spryker EXCITE 2020 took place under strict hygiene standards for all our speakers and selected guests. Hosted in a Berlin cinema, the event was then streamed across the globe for anyone who was hungry for extraordinary e-commerce success stories!

And this year will be even bigger, better and more EXCITE-ing than ever!

Stay Hungry – that’s the motto Arnold follows through his entire life. Arnold Schwarzenegger is known all over the globe for his many accomplishments:
world champion bodybuilder, Hollywood action hero, successful businessman, environmentalist, philanthropist, best-selling author, and California’s 38th Governor. We are honored to welcome him to Spryker EXCITE!
