On May 18, 2011, Logistics Day was held at the WSB University in Wrocław. The event organizers provided many attractions, including inviting several very interesting guests. The participation of experts from the logistics industry guaranteed a high substantive level of the presentations delivered. The speeches and presentations by the invited guests enabled current and future students to have direct contact with both the business and scientific environments of the logistics industry. Approximately 200 participants took part in Logistics Day, including full-time and part-time students as well as high school students; there were also representatives of businesses who presented the achievements of their companies. Media patronage for the event was provided by industry magazines: “Logistyka” and “Infrastruktura i transport”.
The substantive part was concluded with a very interesting and lively debate with the intriguing title: “How to make your first million in logistics?”. Representatives of logistics companies, led by editor Artur Olejniczak from the magazine “Logistyka”, discussed in an interesting and provocative way the solutions that ensure success in running a business in logistics. The debate was attended by representatives of the following companies: Elsen Logistyka Sp. z o.o., Kuehne&Nagel, and representatives of the Association of Road Carriers “Lower Silesia”.
High school students were able to learn about the practical application of logistics during numerous workshops conducted by students of the Student Logistics Club. Additionally, a presentation of the RFID system was organized in terms of its practical application in logistics, and the e-scala program was also demonstrated. During Logistics Day, numerous multimedia presentations showing the latest logistics solutions were displayed.
There was also a rich entertainment section, which was very popular, especially among current students. The ambitious lecture part and numerous attractions met with great interest and a very positive reception; therefore, one can expect the continuation of the organization of Logistics Day in the coming years. The success of Logistics Day at the WSB University in Wrocław should be attributed primarily to its main organizers, namely Professor Andrzej Bujak, as well as the Student Logistics Club under the supervision of Dr. Eng. Alicja Gębczyńska.
