Urban Logistics Exhibition has released the conference agenda for a two-day programme running on 9–10 June 2027 at ExCeL London. The event is built around the operational, commercial and infrastructure challenges that shape how goods move through cities.
Organisers say the exhibition will bring together logistics operators, retailers, fleet managers, technology providers, property specialists and public-sector stakeholders to explore ways of making urban supply chains more efficient, resilient and sustainable.
Three theatres set the agenda
The programme is divided across three theatres, each dealing with a different part of the city logistics problem. The organisers frame the content as a response to rising delivery expectations, congestion, fleet electrification, restricted kerbside access, emissions regulation and the availability of suitable logistics space.
- Retail & Customer Delivery Theatre — Looks at how retailers, brands and logistics providers can improve the customer delivery experience while balancing cost, service performance and operational complexity. Planned topics include store-to-door fulfilment, cutting failed deliveries, returns, parcel lockers, out-of-home collection, marketplace fulfilment and peak planning.
- Urban Fleet & Infrastructure Theatre — Focuses on the decisions operators face as they move towards cleaner, more efficient urban transport. Sessions are set to 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 — Explores how cities can create the conditions for reliable, commercially viable and sustainable goods movement. Its 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
Alongside the conference programme, the exhibition will give visitors a view of the technologies, services and infrastructure that support urban goods movement. Providers are expected from fleet and transport, logistics technology, carriers and couriers, reverse logistics, charging, urban consolidation, property, parcel lockers, and pick-up and drop-off networks.
The organisers expect an audience of 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 event will also include a Supply Chain Excellence Awards Showcase, presenting award-winning and finalist projects alongside case studies intended to demonstrate innovation and measurable operational impact.
Place in a wider programme
The agenda reflects what the organisers describe as 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. Other themes flagged for the show include autonomous delivery and last-mile infrastructure.
Urban Logistics runs on 9–10 June 2027 at ExCeL London as part of European Logistics Month, which groups major logistics and supply chain events in London and Düsseldorf.
