Urban Logistics Exhibition has released the conference agenda for its 2027 edition, outlining a two-day programme dedicated to the operational, commercial and infrastructure challenges that shape the movement of goods through cities.
The exhibition is scheduled for 9–10 June 2027 at ExCeL London. Organisers say it will bring together logistics operators, retailers, fleet managers, technology providers, property specialists and public-sector stakeholders to explore how urban supply chains can become more efficient, resilient and sustainable.
Three theatres cover the urban delivery chain
The agenda is divided across three theatres, each addressing a different part of city logistics, from rising delivery expectations and congestion to fleet electrification, restricted kerbside access, emissions regulation and the availability of suitable logistics space.
- Retail & Customer Delivery Theatre will look at 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 will focus on the practical decisions facing operators as they move 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 will examine 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 and audience
Beyond the conference, the exhibition will provide a platform for visitors to discover the technologies, services and infrastructure supporting the movement of goods through cities. Providers represented 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.
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 reflects what 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. Subjects such as autonomous delivery and last-mile infrastructure are also on the programme.
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.
