Record number of exhibitors
Nearly 400 exhibitors from 30 countries presented their offerings in as many as 4 exhibition halls, and 45% of them were foreign entities. This year, for the first time, Turkey, Germany, and Finland had their national pavilions. Also noteworthy is the fact that as many as 75% of the exhibitors were returning companies from previous editions, which only proves the prestige of the event. Such great interest in the fair and in Poland underlines the position and importance of the Polish transport and logistics industry on the international arena. In this edition, as many as 11 Polish and foreign seaports participated in the 10th edition of TransLogistica (Port Authority of Gdynia, Port Authority of Gdansk, Port Authority of Szczecin and Swinoujscie, Port of Constanta, Port of Koper, Port of Hamburg, Port of Kiel, Port of Turku, Port of Hank,o Port of HaminaKotka, Port of Raahe), establishing TransLogistica Poland as the most important maritime industry event in Poland. What provides unquestionable proof of the fair's success is the record attendance - 10,850 transport and logistics professionals who took part in the anniversary edition of the event.
Everything relevant to the industry during the substantive program
For all three days of the fair, the "Forum TransLogistica" stage was active, hosting lectures, speeches and panel discussions on the most important issues and latest trends for transport, logistics and freight forwarding. In cooperation with the editors of TSL Business magazine, there were "Transport Meetings" and "TSL Green Day." The first concerned the latest changes in transport law and effective tools for optimizing costs in road transport. The program of the second conference, based largely on practical examples, focused on "green" issues in logistics and transportation. The third day included Q&A sessions on tax and legal changes for the TSL sector, as well as "Meetings of transport industry leaders," a conference organized by the employers' association Transport and Logistics Poland. The three-day content marathon featured 10 panel discussions, 80 talks and lectures, with more than 100 speakers and industry experts.
Plebiscite Friendly Employer for the 8th time at the fair The event was also accompanied by the settlement of the competition: TSL Friendly Employer Plebiscite, the only competition in Poland dedicated to employers in the Transport - Forwarding - Logistics industry, which is co-organized by the pracujwlogistyce.pl portal. The winners of the 8th edition were:
- Logwin Poland in the category of large companies (with more than 500 employees)
- TVM Transport&Logistics in the medium-sized company category (with 51 to 500 employees)
- PEKO Spedycja Międzynarodowa in the small company category (with up to 50 employees)
Not only business counts
The 10th edition of TransLogistica Poland brought a significant innovation in the context of Polish business events, introducing the possibility of holding exclusive cocktail parties at exhibitors' stands on the first day of the fair. Creating a space to relax to the sound of music and a glass of champagne had a significant impact on the integration of representatives of the TSL sector, which will surely become an integral part of future editions of the event. The fair also abounded in a number of additional initiatives, which took place both at the stands and in the open spaces of EXPO XXI. Exhibitors surprised attendees with a variety of attractions, including interactive games with prizes, demonstrations of virtual truck travel, Brazilian salsa demonstrations and chess tournaments in which master Mateusz Bartel participated.
Next year another feast of the TSL industry
The next edition of TransLogistica Poland will be held November 5-7, 2024, traditionally at EXPO XXI Warsaw. Interest in participating in the fair continues throughout the year, so the organizers encourage you to book your stands in advance. www.translogistica.pl [email protected]
