The only exhibition in France to cover all the links in transport, freight forwarding and the logistics chain is SITL Europe (22 to 25 March 2016 – Parc des Expositions Paris Nord Villepinte – Hall 6). It is a place for discussion and discovery on the challenges, trends and innovations in the sector. More than 100 conferences will take place during the exhibition.
The 2016 conference program consists of 10 highlighted themes which have been designed and will be chaired by the members of the Strategic Committee, all of whom are logistics, transport and/or supply chain directors of major companies in manufacturing and retail. They will focus on new consumer expectations, sustainable development, the link between industrial logistics and e-commerce, urban logistics, tracking the cold chain, the spare parts supply chain, distribution networks evolution, the digital revolution and the new business of operational excellence.
For several years, an increasing number of special programs have been developed. The conference cycle opened on 2nd March with the World Transport & Logistics Forum and the bi-annual presentation by the World Bank of their study into logistics competitiveness.
This will be followed by the Overseas Day (22 March), the waterways program (22 March), the Maritime Day (23 March), the European Rail Freight Day (24 March), as well as a new cycle focussing on dangerous goods logistics (22 to 25 March). The program is completed with a cycle dedicated to Intralogistics (22 to 25 March) and another on new generation transport equipment (22 to 25 March). And newly developed: the 1st African Logistics Conference “Gearing up Africa!” which considers the establishment of a logistics chain in Africa. Finally the first “Start-up Contest” which this year is added to the 16th Edition of the Logistics Innovation Awards. “This initiative recognises the most innovative start-up in the transport and logistics sector”, explains Alain Bagnaud, Reed Exhibitions Transport & Logistics Director. The contest is organised in two phases. The winner will be announced on March 25.
