More than 11,000 logistics, warehousing and supply chain professionals are expected to attend IntraLogisteX 2026 at the NEC Birmingham on 18-19 March, as the UK’s most established warehousing and logistics exhibition returns with its most ambitious edition yet.

Organised by Akabo Media (the publisher of Logistics Manager) and now in its 11th year, IntraLogisteX is evolving beyond a traditional warehouse show to become a central, all-in-one platform for the UK logistics, supply chain and warehousing community.

The 2026 edition will unite every major segment of the modern logistics journey under one roof – from warehouse automation and robotics to fulfilment, freight forwarding, last-mile delivery and end-to-end supply chain visibility.

End-to-end focus under one roof

Reflecting the scale and complexity of today’s logistics operations, IntraLogisteX 2026 will showcase solutions from more than 350 exhibitors spanning:

  • Warehouse automation, robotics and intralogistics systems
  • Fulfilment-floor technology, picking and packing
  • Supply chain digitisation, data and analytics
  • ESG tracking, energy efficiency and sustainable infrastructure
  • Freight forwarding, transport management and last-mile delivery

It is the only UK event that brings together this breadth of solutions in a single location and on a single set of dates, making it a practical platform for teams looking to benchmark options and make investment decisions quickly.

Co-located with Robotics & Automation, the Sustainable Supply Chain Exhibition and the newly launched Fulfilment & Last Mile Expo, the 2026 edition will connect C-level strategists, supply chain directors and operations leaders with technology providers and implementation partners across the full logistics lifecycle.

Together, the four shows form a holistic supply chain and logistics management event designed around real-world business outcomes.

Built around real business challenges

The 2026 event comes at a time when UK logistics and supply chain operations are under intense pressure from e-commerce growth, labour shortages, rising energy costs, tightening ESG expectations and ongoing supply chain volatility.

Against this backdrop, IntraLogisteX is positioned as a practical forum where logistics leaders can see technology in action, pressure-test ideas with peers and build roadmaps for implementation. Visitors will be able to explore:

  • Robotics and automated systems designed to increase throughput and improve ergonomics on the warehouse floor
  • ‘Warehouse of the future’ concepts, including space-optimised mezzanine solutions, high-density storage and IoT-enabled, real-time inventory management
  • Sustainability-driven infrastructure such as low-energy conveyors, advanced lighting and eco-efficient storage systems

“IntraLogisteX is more than just a trade show,” said John Thornton, editor-in-chief of Logistics Manager. “What we are building is a national platform for the logistics community to come together, solve practical problems and shape the future of the industry.

“Whether you are wrestling with labour constraints, throughput bottlenecks, rising operating costs or the transition to more sustainable operations, IntraLogisteX is designed to connect you with credible, actionable solutions.”

Conference content and live demonstrations

Alongside the exhibition floor, IntraLogisteX 2026 will feature a conference programme and seminar theatres aimed at helping visitors understand how to deploy innovation safely, profitably and at scale.

More than 60 sessions will include case studies and insights from brand-owner retailers, manufacturers and logistics operators who are already rolling out automation, digital tools and new fulfilment models.

Live demonstrations across the show floor will enable visitors to see technologies operating in realistic intralogistics environments, speak directly with engineers and solution specialists, and compare competing approaches side by side.

What’s more, networking zones will provide further opportunities for peer-to-peer learning and partnership building.

 

IntraLogisteX 2026 takes place on 18-19 March 2026 at the NEC Birmingham. For exhibitor information and visitor registration, visit the official event website at www.intralogistex.co.uk.
