Urban Logistics Exhibition has launched the conference agenda for its 2027 edition, setting out a two-day programme dedicated to the operational, commercial and infrastructure challenges that shape how goods move through cities.
The event is scheduled for 9–10 June 2027 at ExCeL London. 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 frame the programme
The agenda is organised across three theatres, each focused on the decisions, technologies and operating models shaping the next generation of urban delivery and fulfilment. Topics span rising delivery expectations and congestion as well as fleet electrification, restricted kerbside access, emissions regulation and the availability of suitable logistics space.
The Retail & Customer Delivery Theatre will examine how retailers, brands and logistics providers can improve the customer delivery experience while balancing cost, service performance and operational complexity. Sessions are set to cover store-to-door fulfilment, failed delivery reduction, returns, parcel lockers, out-of-home collection, marketplace fulfilment and peak planning, and will look at improving the efficiency and reliability of delivery networks.
The Urban Fleet & Infrastructure Theatre will address the practical decisions facing operators as they move towards cleaner, more efficient urban transport. Its programme includes fleet electrification, electric vehicle charging, total cost of ownership, vehicle selection, route optimisation, cargo bikes, telematics, safety and regulatory compliance.
The Public Sector, Property & City Logistics Theatre will explore how cities can create the conditions for reliable, commercially viable and sustainable goods movement. Topics include 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 give visitors a platform to discover the technologies, services and infrastructure that support the movement of goods through cities. Providers will cover 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 that demonstrate innovation and measurable operational impact.
Part of European Logistics Month
The agenda reflects the growing importance of urban logistics as businesses and cities respond to rising delivery demand, changing customer expectations, environmental targets and mounting pressure on urban infrastructure. By bringing together the people responsible for delivering, managing and planning city supply chains, the event aims to provide a forum for sharing practical solutions and examining 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.
