The Logistic Speeddate

Jong Logistiek Nederland (JLN) brings students, young professionals and companies together in a surprisingly fun and effective way with De Logistieke Speeddate. In short 10-minute 1-on-1 interviews, you got the chance to get to know various logistics organisations quickly and personally.

An accessible and fun way to expand your network, discover career opportunities and make valuable contacts within the industry.

New: Demo hub

This year, we introduced the Demo hub: a special theatre on the exhibition floor. In just 45 minutes, exhibitors showed you how their innovation, e.g. software, works. You immediately discovered how the solutions are applied in practice, got concrete examples and could ask the experts questions on the spot.

The ideal place to gain many new insights and applications in one go!

The Logistics Debate

Also in 2025, The Logistics Debate returned on the Mainstage, in cooperation with VLM. On Wednesday 5 November, inspiring debaters with an outspoken vision entered the conversation on current and future-oriented logistics themes.

Under the guidance of an experienced moderator, views were challenged, ideas shared and new perspectives explored.

Theatre 3 Slimstock

For three days, the Slimstock Theatre was all about knowledge, inspiration and concrete action. Here, Slimstock experts shared their insights on the latest trends in stock optimisation, supply chain management and smart ICT solutions.

Round tables - VLM

The logistics sector is changing faster than ever. This requires not only robust systems and smart technology, but above all people who make organisations resilient and agile.

During the round tables, experts from science and practice discussed the balance between efficiency and resilience. How can organisations better prepare for unexpected events? What competences and forms of cooperation are needed? And how does technology remain a tool to support people, rather than a replacement?

Start-Up Zone

In the Start-Up Zone, you were introduced to the beating heart of the logistics future. Here, promising start-ups presented their pioneering innovations to the industry. A zone full of fresh ideas, smart solutions and technological innovation; exactly what is needed to tackle the big challenges in tomorrow's logistics.

New: Scale-Up Zone

In the Scale-Up Zone, you met logistics innovators who have already outgrown the start-up phase and are ready to scale up. These ambitious scale-ups combined proven technology with growth power and showed how innovation really makes an impact in practice.

A zone full of next-level solutions, smart applications and scalable ideas ready to strengthen the logistics chain of today and tomorrow.
