Supply in demand

Space at supply chain exhibition IntralogisteX is in demand with over half of all floorspace already booked four months ahead of the 2026 edition. The event – which is co-located with Robotics and Automation and the Sustainable Supply Chain Exhibition – has maintained its commitment to boosting footfall through free registration once again, with visitors being granted access to all three exhibitions with no entry fee across the two day event.

The 2026 edition is the second time that all three shows have been co-located. IntralogisteX first merged with Robotics and Automation in 2023 in conjunction with its move from the Ricoh Arena to the NEC in 2023, and brought the Sustainable Supple Chain Exhibition on board last year to present a cohesive showcase of brands across the full logistics spectrum.

Previous exhibitors planning to return to the NEC for 2026 have praised the “busy environment” generated by the co-location of the shows, while also reporting a “good quality of attendees” bringing with them “high buying power” and “insightful conversations”.

For Smart Display, the return of the three events is a welcome addition to the exhibition calendar, with a host of exhibitors already looking ahead to their exhibition presence at the supply chain exhibition for 2026.
