THE RETAIL SUPPLY CHAIN & LOGISTICS EXPO 2024
And just like that, Retail Supply Chain & Logistics Expo 2024 is over, but what an event it was! With so many curious, forward-thinking minds in attendance, it’s no surprise that so much progress was made in the logistical branch of the retail sector. We saw experts sharing insights, advanced service providers showcasing their wares, and hundreds of visitors exchanging perspectives – and none of it would’ve been possible without all of these contributions.
Among our seminars, we had breakdowns of automation, economic dynamics, and sustainable practices, among many others, showcasing a diverse range of thought leadership outlooks. The exhibitors on display included freight experts, warehouse management firms, and cold-chain revolutionaries, along with a massive range of other businesses pushing the boundaries of both physical and digital technologies.
Seeing so many people learning, browsing, and building connections gives us that all-important confirmation of the impact events like this can have!
Consider this post-show guide as a look back on the aspects of this event that made it so special. Whether you flick through the pages to relive some of your favourite moments, catch up on some of the things you might have missed, or get to know some of the supply chain and logistics a little better, this is the perfect wrap-up reflection for you!
Considering just how positive the reception was for this year’s Retail Supply Chain & Logistics Expo, you can trust we’ll be returning to London on 12th & 13th November 2025.

WHAT’S IN STORE FOR
As we’ve recapped, this year’s Retail Supply Chain & Logistics Expo was a monumental success, and for that we have you to thank!
Things like this couldn’t happen without the support of our visitors, along with all the contributors who brought so much value. Whether in the form of our esteemed Advisory Board of Logistics gurus, the speakers who were generous enough to offer their insights, or the exhibitors who showcased their exciting supply chain solutions – everyone brought their A-game to make for an unforgettable professional experience.
And as if this year’s success wasn’t enough, we’ve already got the engine fired up and the wheels in motion to deliver the 2025 edition of the Retail Supply Chain & Logistics Expo on 12th & 13th November 2025 at the ExCeL London!
That’s right, we’ve been doing some logistics of our own to figure out how we can supply a space of convergence that provides everything that was offered across the expo and more. We’re constantly seeking to one-up ourselves, so you can trust that we’ll be pulling out all the stops the next time around!
Thanks once again, and we look forward to connecting with you next year!
