Over three days in September, hundreds of the world’s most innovative and influential manufacturers and suppliers of logistics solutions and intralogistics technology will showcase the developments that are reshaping post-pandemic global supply chains when IMHX 2022 opens for business at the NEC, Birmingham.

The UK’s premier event for the logistics industry takes place on the 6th, 7th and 8th of September and is the go-to event for professionals who manage, operate and optimise logistics and supply chain operations for companies of every size.

IMHX 2022 event director, Rob Fisher, commented: “We can’t wait to welcome visitors and exhibitors back to the NEC. IMHX 2022 will be the essential gathering place for UK logistics professionals to reconnect, stay ahead of supply chain trends and see the latest storage and handling solutions.

“Supply chain issues are at the top of every company’s agenda and IMHX will host many of the companies that are leading the way in the development of ultra energy-efficient, sustainable and, in many cases, highly automated handling systems. Visitors will be able to see and evaluate all the equipment they need to store and handle goods safely and both cost- and space-efficiently.”

In addition, logistics professionals attending the event will also have access to three days of free-to-attend seminars and conference sessions offering practical knowledge and strategic insights. Supported by Cranfield University, the IMHX conference programme will feature some of the most influential, innovative and pioneering minds working in the supply chain sector among the speakers.

Fisher said: “Both the conference and exhibition at IMHX will provide the ultimate opportunity for logistics professionals to prepare and protect their operations from the supply chain challenges that continue to emerge.”
