Logistics 2008 Congress has begun

Seven hundred participants have registered for the congress and will take part in 60 lectures, 3 technical visits, and 4 thematic workshops.

– Over the last six months, I have had the opportunity to chair the organizing committee of the Polish Logistics Congress Logistics 2008. I welcome you very warmly on behalf of myself, the organizing committee, and the program council. We have prepared a rich program for you, which we hope will meet your expectations – said Stanisław Krzyżaniak at the opening.

The ninth Logistics congress is held under the slogan “New challenges – new solutions”. The main theme of the congress is new markets, security issues, and economic and political conditions currently influencing the development of logistics.

– The world today poses new challenges for all of us, and therefore also for logisticians. Not only of a business or economic nature. In the face of these challenges, we are looking for solutions in our work, but also at the level of EU projects, at universities, and in various research and development centers – says S. Krzyżaniak. – The congress program council has prepared a program that will answer a number of questions and perhaps also inspire new ones to be asked.

A special highlight of this year’s congress is the tenth anniversary of ECR Poland, which has created a platform for cooperation and linked manufacturing and retail companies in the fast-moving consumer goods sector in Poland through partnership ties. In addition to plenary sessions and the presentation of best practices showcased during 6 thematic sessions, the Polish Logistics Congress will be an opportunity to learn about the offerings of logistics companies, IT firms, suppliers of warehouse technology, ports, and logistics centers, which will present themselves at the “Logistics Market 2008” exhibition on May 7 and 8, 2008.
