On the evening of May 2, 2017, the Stuttgart OXID eShop Usergroup met for its third meeting. This time Verdure GmbH invited to a barbecue over the roofs of Stuttgart's valley basin. Unfortunately, the weather did not allow us to do so and the popular pizza service remained. A colourful mix of OXID eShop developers, SEO's and agency owners attended the meeting. Marco Steinhäuser as Community Manager of OXID eSales, took the long train ride from Leipzig to Stuttgart and guided us through the evening.

Yesterday evening OXID eShop operators and OXID eShop developers met for the second Usergroup meeting in Stuttgart. The topics e-commerce marketing and connecting the shop system to third party systems were on the agenda. In fact, only e-commerce marketing was discussed, which already exceeded the time frame. In addition, the next OXID eShop UG meetings will be split into e-commerce operators and OXID eShop developers in order to be able to respond more specifically to the thirst for knowledge of the respective parties. Thus we are facing the task of organizing two meetings.
