Multimodal 2026

Discover new roads to success with Multimodal 

Multimodal is the UK’s leading transport, logistics and supply chain expo, bringing together shippers, retailers, manufacturers, wholesalers, importers, exporters and the logistics partners who support them.

The Despatch Company will be on the show floor, showcasing how Helm WMS, Voila and Neuro help logistics providers, 3PLs and in‑house operations turn complex networks into something you can actually control – from warehouse workflows and inventory to carrier performance and delivery promises.

Why it matters for modern logistics teams 

The 2025 edition welcomed more than 13,500 attendees to Hall 4 at the NEC. Free‑to‑attend conference streams focused on sustainability, resilience, technology and people, with sessions led by organisations such as Logistics UK, CIOE&IT, RFG, BIFA, UKWA, CCF and CILT.

For operators, retailers and brands, Multimodal is a chance to:

• See the latest transport, logistics and supply chain technology – including Helm WMS for warehouse and order management

• Hear how peers are building more resilient, sustainable networks

• Meet established names and emerging innovators across every mode and function

• Benchmark your own strategy against a broad cross‑section of the industry

We’ll be talking about where Helm WMS fits into that picture: how a warehouse and order management platform built for eCommerce and omnichannel operations can give you cleaner data, tighter control and better service – whether you run a single DC (distribution centre) or a multi‑site network.

2026: the UK logistics industry converges 

Multimodal sits at the heart of UK Logistics Week, bringing even more value for visitors:

• Warehouse and Yard (formerly IWLEX and YARDX) co‑locate in an adjacent hall, linking logistics, warehousing and yard operations.

• eDX, the delivery and fulfilment arm of IRX, joins Multimodal under the same roof, adding deep expertise in last‑mile and eCommerce delivery.

• Road Transport Expo (RTX) runs nearby at Stoneleigh Park, with free shuttle buses connecting directly to the NEC.

From freight forwarding to yard safety, warehouse automation to final‑mile delivery, it’s the one place where every link in the UK logistics chain comes together – and where you can see how Helm WMS, Voila and Neuro plug into that ecosystem.

What you can expect 

• A packed exhibition floor of logistics, transport and supply chain providers

• Conference sessions accredited by The CPD Group, with CPD credits available on site

• Networking with senior decision‑makers from across the industry

• Access to co‑located events covering warehousing, yard operations, delivery and fulfilment

• A chance to meet the Helm WMS team, see the product in action and explore how it fits your operation

Attendees and exhibitors alike describe Multimodal as “the event of the year” for the UK supply chain industry – valued for its atmosphere, scale, and the quality of conversations it makes possible.
