The UK’s IWLEX and YARDX logistics and operations annual trade show is set to re-brand in 2026 to the Warehouse. & Yard. Exhibition and will be co-located with Multimodal and its E-Delivery Expo at Birmingham in June.

IWLEX says the strategic collaboration of co-locating the shows “marks the creation of the UK’s most comprehensive end-to-end supply chain logistics showcase and establishes the destination exhibition for the entire UK logistics ecosystem”.

“Together, this strategic move forms the UK’s most complete supply chain and logistics exhibition destination,” IWLEX states.

Under the collaboration, IWLEX will rebrand to Warehouse. to better align with its core focus on warehouse innovation and materials handling, and YARDX will become Yard. reflecting its focus on yard operations and materials handling.

Organisers say the co-located shows will offer access to more than 15,000 logistics professionals.

Robert Jervis, event director with Multimodal organiser, Clarion Events, says its 2025 event was record-breaking with 13,500 visitors.

“The Multimodal and Warehouse. and Yard. teams have known each other for years — we trust each other, and we’re aligned in our commitment to delivering real value for exhibitors and visitors alike,” Jervis adds.

The event will be held at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham, June 30 to July 1.
