A brand-new two-day trade show dedicated to post-warehouse logistics will debut at the NEC Birmingham on 18-19 March 2026, co-located with IntraLogisteX<\/a>, the Sustainable Supply Chain Exhibition<\/a> and Robotics & Automation<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Global B2B events organiser Akabo Media has announced the launch of Fulfilment & Last Mile Expo, a stand-alone event focused on the fast-growing movement of goods beyond the warehouse.<\/p>\n

Building on the organiser\u2019s 2022 pilot, Final Destination Logistics, the new show will spotlight fulfilment operations, delivery innovation and last-mile execution as retailers, brands and logistics providers respond to rising service expectations and decarbonisation pressures in urban areas.<\/p>\n

The launch will also sit alongside Akabo Media\u2019s expanding international portfolio, with IntraLogisteX editions taking place in Abu Dhabi<\/a>, Dallas<\/a> and Singapore<\/a> in 2026.<\/p>\n

The exhibitor mix is set to span last-mile delivery providers, fulfilment partners and 3PLs, delivery technology and route-optimisation platforms, vehicles and micromobility solutions, and urban logistics infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Typical categories will include parcel carriers and aggregators, e-commerce fulfilment specialists, order and delivery management software, cargo bikes and electric vans, as well as parcel lockers and micro-depots.<\/p>\n

\u201cFulfilment and the last mile have become the decisive battleground for customer experience and sustainable growth,\u201d said Stephen Brooks, managing director of Akabo Media.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy co-locating Fulfilment & Last Mile Expo with IntraLogisteX, the Sustainable Supply Chain Exhibition and Robotics & Automation, we are bringing the end-to-end ecosystem together under one roof.<\/p>\n

\u201cExhibitors will meet a concentrated, high-intent audience and visitors will be able to benchmark technologies side by side with one badge.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also new for 2026 is a later finish for all shows on both days \u2013 open until 5pm on day one and 4pm on day two \u2013 designed to maximise visitor time and exhibitor return on investment.<\/p>\n

In addition, the Robotics & Automation Awards<\/a> will take place live on day one at the NEC, bringing together leading innovators from across automation, robotics and AI.<\/p>\n

Akabo Media will also host an expanded exhibitor drinks party on the first evening, welcoming senior figures from supply chain, robotics, sustainability, fulfilment and last mile.<\/p>\n

Together with the co-located shows, Akabo Media expects the 2026 edition to create the UK\u2019s most comprehensive logistics, fulfilment and supply chain showcase, drawing more than 12,000 visitors and more than 400 exhibitors across the combined floorplan.<\/p>\n

Exhibitor packages and early-bird rates will be announced shortly, with stand space and sponsorship opportunities limited. Companies interested in participating are encouraged to register their interest now<\/a> to secure prime locations.<\/p>\n

Further programme details, speaker announcements and feature areas will be confirmed in the coming weeks and months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A brand-new two-day trade show dedicated to post-warehouse logistics will debut at the NEC Birmingham on 18-19 March…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":433251,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7820],"tags":[855,748,393,4884,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-433250","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-birmingham","8":"tag-birmingham","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115224485855476149","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/433250","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=433250"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/433250\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/433251"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=433250"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=433250"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=433250"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
