Madrid, 26 June 2024.

Both events will be held jointly at IFEMA in Madrid on 27-28 November and will provide the perfect meeting point for professionals and companies looking to stay at the forefront of the latest developments in the logistics, transport and packaging industry, creating an ideal collaborative working environment.
Among the new features of the edition is Logistic & Industrial Build, the new space aimed at logistics and industrial building, which will respond to the growing demand for specialised solutions in the construction of logistics and industrial infrastructures and which will be located next to Logistics & Automation in Hall 7.
Registration for the 3 events is free of charge and can already be done through the Empack, Logistics & Automation or Logistic & Industrial Build websites, with only one registration required to access the three fairs.
Visitors will have access to more than 23,000m2 of exhibition space, 15% more than at the last edition. Of this, more than 85% is already booked. Visitors will also be able to enjoy an extensive programme of content, which will bring together more than 250 expert speakers in packaging, logistics, transport and logistics and industrial building in 8 congress halls.
In addition, the programme will include the presentation of various awards, including the Logistics Leaders Awards, organised by UNO Logistics, which recognise the best and most innovative practices in company logistics and their contribution to business competitiveness. There will also be the 3rd edition of the Logistics Forum’s Talent and Logistics awards, which recognise good practices in talent management and development within companies in the sector, and finally the 3rd edition of the Truck Friendly Movement awards, organised by ACE Cargadores and aimed at good practices in the transport of goods.
This year’s new areas also include the new initiative in collaboration with Aebrand (Spanish Branding Association), which will highlight the work developed by young designers, thus promoting emerging talent in the pacakging sector. Also, in the case of Logistics & Automation, a new space will be created; Logistics LAB, which will be dedicated to workshops and immersive workshops, which will provide an interactive and educational experience on the latest trends and technologies in logistics.
“In this edition, Empack and Logistics & Automation consolidate their position as key events in their respective sectors, while introducing significant innovations that will undoubtedly enrich the experience for participants and attendees alike. We are confident that visitors will find this event a perfect venue for networking, business collaboration and the exchange of ideas, thus driving both sectors forward. In this regard, we are deeply grateful to our partners, sponsors and exhibitors for their trust and their continued support and commitment to making these shows a success year after year,” said Oscar Barranco, Managing Director of Easyfairs Iberia.
Logistic & Industrial Build, the big novelty
The most innovative aspect of the next edition of Empack and Logistics & Automation is undoubtedly the incorporation of Logistic & Industrial Build, the only trade fair in Spain specifically dedicated to logistics and industrial building. Holding these events together will create a space with great synergies where visitors will be able to explore a wide range of products and services related to the supply chain; from packaging, automation, intralogistics and transport, to the latest solutions that are transforming the construction of logistics and industrial buildings.
The target audience for this show includes expansion managers, facility and asset managers, architects, operations managers or infrastructure project managers who are looking for new building solutions, as well as business partners for the development of new projects. Some of the companies that have already confirmed their participation in the event are Panattoni, Newdock, Prologis, Cubic, AGR Integral, Indupavi, Angel Mir, Inkema, Magnoventa, Locabri or Tecna, pending future additions. This diversity of exhibitors, together with the existence of congress and networking spaces during the event, guarantees a complete and varied offer, meeting all the specific needs of logistics and industrial construction.
