The number of participants is growing steadily, and the last Congress in 2008 was attended by over 720 people, including a large group of international guests. This year’s jubilee Congress will have an even more international dimension, as it will be held in conjunction with the European Logistics Association (ELA) Congress – EUROLOG 2010.
The Congress will be held under the theme: Logistics facing new challenges – flexibility, sustainability, innovation. It aims to draw attention to the importance of logistics for the European economy and its competitiveness on the global market: logistics that is harmonized, capable of reacting quickly to a changing environment and customer needs, innovative, quickly adopting the results of development work, and at the same time – in a reasonable way – environmentally friendly. Among the Congress speakers will be: Hans-Christian Pfohl (ELA, TU Darmstadt), Miguel Lopera (President of GS1), Paweł Stelmaszczyk (European Commission), Keith Ulrich (DHL), Gerd Wolfram (METRO Group), and Alan Waller (ELUPEG).
The Congress program traditionally includes: two days of plenary and thematic sessions accompanied by a logistics exhibition, as well as problem-solving workshops. Thematic sessions will cover: standards in logistics and supply chains, solutions for the FMCG sector, logistics services, the Internet for trade and logistics, supply chains, transport, mobile technologies in trade and logistics, and warehousing.
Additionally, on Friday, May 14, the ELA Research Day Conference will be held as an event accompanying the LOGISTICS & EUROLOG 2010 Congress. This event showcases the achievements of European research centers.
Traditionally, on Thursday, May 13, after the sessions conclude, it will be possible to take part in one of several technical visits to leading, modern logistics and manufacturing companies in the Poznań area.
