Urban Logistics Exhibition has launched its conference agenda, confirming a two-day programme dedicated to the operational, commercial and infrastructure challenges that shape how goods move through cities.
The event will be held on 9–10 June 2027 at ExCeL London, bringing together logistics operators, retailers, fleet managers, technology providers, property specialists and public-sector stakeholders. Its stated aim is to explore how urban supply chains can become more efficient, resilient and sustainable.
Three theatres of content
The programme is built around 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. The organiser says 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 operators face in moving to cleaner, more efficient urban transport, covering 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, with sessions on city logistics policy, local authority procurement, urban consolidation, logistics property and planning, freight partnerships, public-private initiatives, construction logistics and healthcare deliveries.
Exhibition and audience
Beyond the conference, the exhibition will provide a platform for visitors to discover technologies, services and infrastructure supporting the movement of goods through cities. Providers represented will span 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.
Awards showcase and wider programme
The show will also feature a Supply Chain Excellence Awards Showcase, highlighting award-winning and finalist projects alongside case studies demonstrating innovation and measurable operational impact.
The organiser links the agenda to 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 connecting the people responsible for delivering, managing and planning city supply chains, the event is intended as a forum for sharing practical solutions and exploring the future of urban freight.
Urban Logistics will run as part of European Logistics Month, which brings together major logistics and supply chain events in London and Düsseldorf. Topics on the agenda include autonomous delivery, last-mile infrastructure and the challenges of moving goods through cities.
