Logitrans - Madrid 2010

Madrid, 8th March 2010.- With a view to strengthening the fair's vocation as a useful tool for the industry and in view of the current climate of austerity and cost-cutting on the part of companies, the organisers of LOGITRANS have decided to cater for current needs by cancelling the exhibition and focusing their efforts on an event aimed at the logistics and transport industry based exclusively on the promotion of analysis and know-how regarding this field. In this respect, the fair, which is due to take place at Feria de Madrid on 21st and 22nd April 2010, will host the staging of two important events, featuring the participation of some highly prominent speakers: the Iberian Logistics Conference and the Second Spanish-French Business Forum on Transport Infrastructures. Both events will channel the interest of different professional groups and members of the industry to have their own business forum and meeting-point in Madrid.

Consequently, LOGITRANS, the Madrid Logistics and Transport Forum, will not feature an exhibition area at this edition, although it will facilitate the attendance of companies and institutions through specific networking and sponsorship programmes.

The Iberian Logistics Conference
The Iberian Logistics Conference, coordinated by A.T. Kearney, will take place on 21st April, based on the following theme: "Advanced Strategies in Logistics and Transport 2010-2020". On this occasion, the Conference will be structured around four blocks of sessions, which will focus on questions such as the following: trends within the supply chain and the strategies of logistical operators within Europe; inter-modal trends regarding the transport of merchandise; and the new competitive market that is beginning to emerge at Iberian ports and airports.
