Urban Logistics Exhibition has launched the conference agenda for its two-day programme, setting out the operational, commercial and infrastructure challenges that shape the movement of goods through cities. The event will take place on 9–10 June 2027 at ExCeL London.
The exhibition is designed to bring together logistics operators, retailers, fleet managers, technology providers, property specialists and public-sector stakeholders to examine how urban supply chains can become more efficient, resilient and sustainable.
Three theatres frame the agenda
Urban Logistics will run three theatres, each addressing the increasingly complex demands of city logistics, from rising delivery expectations and congestion to fleet electrification, restricted kerbside access, emissions regulation and the availability of suitable logistics space. According to the organiser, each theatre will focus on the decisions, technologies and operating models shaping the next generation of urban delivery and fulfilment.
- Retail & Customer Delivery Theatre: how retailers, brands and logistics providers can improve the customer delivery experience while balancing cost, service performance and operational complexity. Topics include store-to-door fulfilment, failed delivery reduction, returns, parcel lockers, out-of-home collection, marketplace fulfilment and peak planning.
- Urban Fleet & Infrastructure Theatre: the practical decisions facing operators as they transition towards cleaner, more efficient urban transport. Sessions cover fleet electrification, electric vehicle charging, total cost of ownership, vehicle selection, route optimisation, cargo bikes, telematics, safety and regulatory compliance.
- Public Sector, Property & City Logistics Theatre: how cities can create the conditions for reliable, commercially viable and sustainable goods movement. The programme covers city logistics policy, local authority procurement, urban consolidation, logistics property and planning, freight partnerships, public-private initiatives, construction logistics and healthcare deliveries.
Exhibition floor and audience
Beyond the conference programme, Urban Logistics will provide a platform for visitors to discover the technologies, services and infrastructure supporting the movement of goods through cities. The exhibition brings together providers across fleet and transport, logistics technology, carriers and couriers, reverse logistics, charging, urban consolidation, property, parcel lockers and pick-up and drop-off networks.
The audience is expected to include logistics and supply chain directors, transport and fleet managers, last-mile delivery leaders, operations directors, retailers, e-commerce businesses, public-sector organisations and procurement teams responsible for urban logistics services.
The show will also feature a Supply Chain Excellence Awards Showcase, highlighting relevant award-winning and finalist projects alongside case studies demonstrating innovation and measurable operational impact.
Context
The agenda builds on the growing importance of urban logistics as businesses and cities respond to rising delivery demand, changing customer expectations, environmental targets and increasing pressure on urban infrastructure. By bringing together the people responsible for delivering, managing and planning city supply chains, the organiser says the event aims to provide a forum for sharing practical solutions and exploring the future of urban freight.
Urban Logistics takes place on 9–10 June 2027 at ExCeL London as part of European Logistics Month, which brings together major logistics and supply chain events in London and Düsseldorf. Autonomous delivery, last-mile infrastructure and the challenges of moving goods through cities are among the themes set to be explored.
