On 20 and 21 May 2026, Pacengo di Lazise becomes the Italian capital of logistics. The 32nd edition of the Global Summit Logistics & Supply Chain is being held at the Hotel Parchi del Garda Congress Centre, the reference B2B event for those who govern the supply chains of large and medium-sized companies. With an exhibition space already sold out and over 60 leading companies ready to present their solutions, the event confirms itself as a strategic hub where business really happens.
Global Summit, tailor-made business matching
The purpose of the Global Summit is to propose the one2one business matching model. The meetings are planned in advance, matching the needs declared by the “end user” managers (Logistics Director, Operations Manager, Supply Chain Manager) with the skills and solutions presented by the exhibitors. Each appointment already has a defined business objective which is characterized by concreteness, efficiency and quality of dialogue.
Here you meet suppliers selected on the basis of real needs – new WMS, warehouse automation, e-commerce solutions, traceability and sustainability projects – concentrating in two days an agenda that, under normal conditions, would require weeks of calls, demos and company visits. The dialogues are technical and direct, aimed at quickly evaluating whether a technology or a partner is truly capable of supporting the company’s logistical and industrial KPIs.
From AI to green logistics, the technologies in the field
On the content front, the 2026 edition covers the entire spectrum of innovation that is qualifying modern logistics and supply chains. Exhibitors will present solutions ranging from Artificial Intelligence to robotics, from WMS software to blockchain, from IoT to e-commerce platforms, up to tools for the transition towards more sustainable logistics.
To complete the picture, a program of 31 classroom conferences with thematic workshops and real case studies, with protagonists who tell firsthand how they are dealing with the operational complexity of current markets. The day ends with a round table with a particularly current title: “Autonomous and resilient Supply Chain: going beyond automation, in the era of Distributed Intelligence”.
Even informal moments are carefully planned. The scheduled lunches and aperitifs are structured opportunities to encourage discussion between professionals in a context that facilitates the creation of lasting partnerships. Those who work in the sector know well that many of the most solid relationships are born far from the official tables.
Who can participate (and how)
Participation is free but selective. Access is reserved for managers and executives of end user companies, with online applications subject to confirmation by the organizational secretariat. Places are limited to preserve the quality of the comparison and the level of the network. A filter that is one of the strong points of the event, with the guarantee that there are only qualified interlocutors in the room.
For those who want to prepare in advance, the glsummit.it portal contains the names of the exhibitors together with an editorial blog with technical insights and interviews with the exhibiting companies present at the Global Summit 2026. The event is also followed on the main social channels and on YouTube, where contributions from previous editions are available.
The Global Summit Logistics & Supply Chain is organized by Concordia Professional Oriented Events, which promotes four other vertical events throughout the year: Digital Marketing & Ecommerce, Logistics & Manufacturing, Marketing & Digital and HR Human Resources.
