Urban Logistics Exhibition has launched the conference agenda for its two-day programme, which will run on 9–10 June 2027 at ExCeL London. The agenda is built around the operational, commercial and infrastructure challenges that shape how goods move through cities.
According to the organiser, the exhibition is intended to bring together logistics operators, retailers, fleet managers, technology providers, property specialists and public-sector stakeholders to examine how urban supply chains can become more efficient, resilient and sustainable.
Three theatres cover the urban delivery chain
The programme is divided across three theatres. Each will focus on the decisions, technologies and operating models shaping the next generation of urban delivery and fulfilment, set against rising delivery expectations, congestion, fleet electrification, restricted kerbside access, emissions regulation and the availability of suitable logistics space.
The 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. Listed topics include store-to-door fulfilment, reducing failed deliveries, returns, parcel lockers, out-of-home collection, marketplace fulfilment and peak planning, with sessions examining how businesses can respond to changing customer expectations while improving the efficiency and reliability of their delivery networks.
The Urban Fleet & Infrastructure Theatre will concentrate on the practical decisions operators face as they move towards cleaner, more efficient urban transport. Its sessions are set to address 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 examine 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 awards showcase
Alongside the conference, the exhibition will provide a platform for visitors to explore the technologies, services and infrastructure supporting urban goods movement. Providers represented are to 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 event is aimed at 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. A Supply Chain Excellence Awards Showcase will also feature award-winning and finalist projects alongside case studies demonstrating innovation and measurable operational impact.
Part of European Logistics Month
Urban Logistics takes place on 9–10 June 2027 at ExCeL London as part of European Logistics Month, which the organiser says 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 the event intends to explore.
