Welcome 2024! This year, as with years in the past, there is a broad and deep line-up of supply chain and logistics conferences to attend. Many events exist in North America, Europe, and Asia. Industry association events are being held in the winter, spring, summer, and fall. Meanwhile, technology providers’ user events are mostly packed into the spring, so plan accordingly.
I have my own favorite events, each for its specific qualities. Some have great content for learning, while others bring superior networking opportunities. I am especially looking forward to MODEX this year, March 11 -14 in Atlanta. It’s a “who’s who” in warehouse automation, software, and robotics.
To assist you with your conference planning, we have assembled the following list of conferences that my ARC supply chain colleagues and I consider to be the premier industry conferences scheduled for 2024 – many of which Steve Banker, Chris Cunnane, and I plan to attend ourselves. This list of events with embedded links is broken into two categories – industry association events and technology provider events. The accompanying map below displays each event in its proximate geographic location. Feel free to save this webpage to your favorites list for reference throughout the year. We will update it with additional shows as the specific dates and locations are announced.
