Successful second edition of LogisticsConnect
17.03.2026
BREMEN. 71 exhibitors and more than 1,200 participants ensured a successful second edition of LogisticsConnect in Bremen in March. “We have further developed LogisticsConnect with new formats, new focal topics and greater depth in the conference programme”, said Hans Peter Schneider, Managing Director of M3B, summarising the event. Germany’s only conference and exhibition dedicated to breakbulk, RoRo and heavy lift was also received very positively on the international stage. Contributing to this were visitors from 21 nations — ranging from Canada and Nigeria to Singapore and the Baltic states.
“LogisticsConnect has created a new, strong format for project logistics in Bremen. It is an industry gathering that offers us, as industry representatives, exactly the right mix: in-depth technical presentations, practical discussions and intensive exchange with partners along the entire supply chain,” says Daniel Duis, Global Head of Logistics at thyssenkrupp Uhde and member of the LogisticsConnect programme advisory board. The next LogisticsConnect will take place on 4 and 5 March 2027.
