IntraLogisteX

At IntraLogisteX you can see warehousing, logistics, supply chain and automation suppliers at one trade-only exhibition in Halls 6 and 7 at NEC Birmingham. IntraLogisteX runs as three shows in one, so your visit also covers Sustainable Supply Chain and Robotics & Automation, and the organiser describes it as the UK’s largest show of its kind. You can compare exhibitors in materials handling, storage, warehouse automation and robotics, IT and software, packaging, picking and sorting, and warehouse infrastructure and services.

IntraLogisteX 2027 dates and opening times

You get two days to see the show, Wednesday 17 and Thursday 18 March 2027, with doors open at 09:30 on both days. Doors close at 17:00 on the Wednesday and 16:00 on the Thursday. It is one of several trade shows in Birmingham in spring 2027, a few weeks after Packaging Innovations & Empack (from 24 February 2027) at the same venue.

Free registration and who can attend

You pay nothing, as visitor registration is free and covers the exhibition floor, live demonstrations and every conference session. Entry is limited to end users looking for solutions for their own operations, so solution providers can take a stand but cannot register as visitors. Under-18s and students are not admitted unless the organisers have agreed it in advance, and wearing smart glasses or other recording devices needs the organiser’s prior permission. The organiser names warehouse managers, heads of distribution, IT directors and lead project managers among the people the show is aimed at.

Exhibitors and product areas

You can compare many suppliers in one visit, as the organiser expects more than 250 exhibitors and over 10,000 pre-qualified buyers for 2027. Companies already listed with stand numbers include SICK UK, Toyota Material Handling UK, Boston Dynamics, Ocado Group, Kardex, Swisslog UK, KNAPP UK, Locus Robotics, Exotec, Mecalux, Combilift and Dexory. The organiser says 95% of visitors said they would recommend the show to peers and 52% said they had placed or planned an order as a result of attending.

Free CPD sessions in three theatres

You can pick up CPD accredited by CILT at no cost, from more than 60 free 20-minute sessions planned across three theatres over the two days.

• IntraLogisteX Theatre, sponsored by IFS Softeon, mixes exhibitor case studies with talks on intralogistics trends. Listed topics include keeping warehouse service steady when cost, labour and demand shift, and whether to replace, upgrade or extend a warehouse management system.
• Robotics & Automation Theatre covers what changes after an automation project goes live, how to phase automation investment, and scaling autonomous mobile robots from pilot to fleet.
• Sustainability Theatre looks at warehouse efficiency savings on cost and carbon, and what the PPWR regulation requires in 2027 and after.

Exhibiting at IntraLogisteX

You can choose your stand format, as stands are sold as shell scheme or space only, and you can request a floorplan and exhibitor brochure from the organiser, Akabo Media. Our guide to choosing shell scheme or space only sets out the difference between the two. The organiser states that it does not pass attendee data to anyone and does not phone exhibitors asking for staff details, so any such call is not from the organiser.

Related shows

You can also find the same brand overseas, with editions in Dallas, Abu Dhabi, Singapore and Düsseldorf. For other events in transport and logistics, the Commercial Vehicle Show opens at the NEC on 20 April 2027 and Multimodal on 29 June 2027, while The Movers & Storers Show takes place at NAEC Stoneleigh from 17 November 2026. Visitors to a three-in-one show can read what a co-located exhibition ticket covers.

Getting to the NEC

You can save £5 by paying for parking online in advance, or skip the car, as Birmingham International railway station is a five-minute covered walk from the halls. Birmingham Airport links to the station by a free air-rail shuttle that takes about 90 seconds. Drivers reach the site from the M42, M40 and M6 and should follow signs to the event car park once on site rather than a sat nav. Free shuttle buses run between the car parks and the halls on exhibition days. The NEC has seven hotels on its campus within walking distance.
