Urban Logistics Exhibition has launched its conference agenda, setting out a two-day programme dedicated to the operational, commercial and infrastructure challenges shaping the movement of goods through cities.
The event will be held on 9–10 June 2027 at ExCeL London. According to the organisers, 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 conference theatres
The agenda is organised across three theatres, each addressing the increasingly complex demands of city logistics. The organisers point to rising delivery expectations and congestion as well as fleet electrification, restricted kerbside access, emissions regulation and the availability of suitable logistics space. Each theatre is framed around the decisions, technologies and operating models shaping the next generation of urban delivery and fulfilment.
Retail & Customer Delivery Theatre. This stream will examine how retailers, brands and logistics providers can improve the customer delivery experience while balancing cost, service performance and operational complexity. Topics are set to include store-to-door fulfilment, failed delivery reduction, returns, parcel lockers, out-of-home collection, marketplace fulfilment and peak planning. Sessions will explore how businesses can respond to changing customer expectations while improving the efficiency and reliability of their delivery networks.
Urban Fleet & Infrastructure Theatre. This theatre will focus on the practical decisions facing operators as they move towards cleaner, more efficient urban transport. Sessions will address 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. This stream will explore 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 programme, 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 award-winning and finalist projects alongside case studies demonstrating innovation and measurable operational impact.
European Logistics Month
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. The organisers say the agenda reflects 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. Autonomous delivery, last-mile infrastructure and the challenges of moving goods through cities are also expected to be explored.
