Logistics Congress 2026
Connect. Innovate. Lead.

Logistics is today a strategic force in a world of change. That is why from April 8 to 10, 2026, all of us who co-create supply networks – visionaries, strategic decision-makers, managers and connectors of knowledge, technologies and people – will meet again in Portorož at the 13th International Logistics Congress Supply Chains in Science and Practice.

The 2026 Congress opens a new chapter. We are focusing on responsibility for the future, connecting knowledge and practice, and courage for change dictated by global trends, technological breakthroughs and geopolitical realities.

The Congress will bring together:
  • professional content and global trends,
  • inspiring stories from practice,
  • technological breakthroughs and digital solutions in practice,
  • international academic symposium,
  • international student hackathon,
  • TelematicsCEEurope conference & expo
  • and B2B matchmaking.

This is more than just a congress. It is a platform unlike any other in the logistics industry events – where science, technology, practice and talent come together in one place.

Every decision we make today shapes the future of our supply chains. That’s why we need more than trends – we need bold ideas, proven solutions and people who can connect – to build competitiveness that is not just an economic necessity. It is the foundation of prosperity, social development and responsibility to future generations.

We need more self-confidence, more strategic cooperation and more courage to direct knowledge, capital and innovation towards long-term growth – not only within companies, but in the wider supply chain ecosystem. Therefore, promoting cooperation and networking remains the heart of the Logistics Congress.

In three days, Portorož will connect more than 800 decision-makers, managers, business owners, innovators and researchers from 25+ countries.

You are invited to join us – co-create the energy of the congress for more strategic networking, more courage and more shared vision.

Together we build relationships and leave a mark.

Open Collaboration in European Logistics. Collaborate where possible, compete where it matters.

The future of logistics in Europe will be shaped not only by technology but also by collaborative ecosystems that unite competing market players, legal experts, and implementation partners around shared standards and open-source solutions. In this session, the Open Logistics Foundation (OLF) will present its journey from concept to operational reality and highlight how structured cooperation can unlock interoperability, efficiency, and innovation across supply chains.

We will cover the original idea behind OLF and its ambition to create an open, vendor-agnostic foundation for digital logistics. The key activities are Ideation Workshops, an annual event The Open Source Ideation Day and networking formats that extend cooperation beyond OLF’s core membership. We will also talk about harmonising competing interests in shared projects, creating de-facto standards that benefit the wider logistics ecosystem while preserving commercial differentiation.

The Motorola Solutions Ecosystem: AI-Driven Interoperability for Next-Generation Logistics and Critical Operations (Best Practice Business Case)

  • Belgrade Airport representative
  • Belgrade Airport

We will present the digital transformation of Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport, demonstrating how MOTOTRBO radios, Avigilon AI video, and body-worn cameras create a unified security and logistics platform. This session examines the shift from passive monitoring to proactive, AI-driven dispatching, with automated alerts sent directly to field teams. Beyond aviation, the presentation shows how these interoperable tools streamline operations for ports, retailers, large-scale events, and more.

Delivery Point Optimization for Greater Efficiency (Best Practice Business Case)

We will present the implementation of an innovative tool for optimising letter delivery: the creation of static delivery districts. This solution has increased operational efficiency, improved responsiveness, and enabled a more balanced workload distribution, as well as adaptability to future needs.
The tool is an important step towards the digitalisation of delivery services, providing employees with support through navigation and on-the-ground assistance. It also directly contributes to reducing the CO₂ footprint by decreasing the distances travelled. The presentation provides a concrete example of how sustainability and technology can work together to achieve measurable logistics outcomes.

Inventory data reconciliation problem – 1,000 times more efficient and 80% less costly with AI agent than a team of consultants (Best Practice Business Case)

RNDC (Republic National Distributing Company), an $11 billion logistics company, faced an inventory data reconciliation challenge: 60,000 SKUs, 1.8 million records, and 50 different naming rules to verify the correct short-form product name. A consulting firm proposed a three-month project costing several million dollars.

Using our AI platform, we configured a Synthetic Worker for this project. It completed the entire reconciliation in just eight hours—1,000 times more efficient and at 80% lower cost than a team of consultants. The deliverable produced by our AI (a data table) was then validated through their standard QA/QC process. The client has since adopted Synthetic Workers to automate inventory reconciliation and Master Data Management.

Digitalization and AI - from planning to operation at the BMW main plant in Munich (Best Practice Business Case)

This presentation highlights the use of 3D Data and artificial intelligence throughout the entire lifecycle of production systems, from initial planning to daily operation. A digital twin is created based on a 3D scan of the production environment and serves as the foundation for planning and commissioning new facilities. Different technologies used for 3D data gathering are presented. Once the plants are operational, ensuring high availability and cost efficiency becomes essential. AI-supported tools are increasingly applied to meet these demands. The presentation is complemented by practical examples from the Munich plant.

History and real data for demand prediction, stock optimisation and smart (re)distribution of goods arround the N Sport stores (Best Practice Business Case)

N Sport is one of the leading sports and fashion retail chains in the region, with dozens of stores and a complex supply chain that continuously balances product availability, seasonality, and multiple sales channels. This session will present their concrete journey from fragmented systems to a unified, data-driven platform for managing operations.

Through a real-life case study, we will show how integrating ERP, retail systems, and advanced analytics creates a reliable foundation for decision-making in the supply chain, and how ALISA AI uses historical and real-time data for demand forecasting, inventory optimisation, and intelligent redistribution of goods between stores. The session will focus on practical lessons learned – what truly works in a complex retail environment and how AI can become an operational tool, not just a concept.
