About the conference
TAL (Trends in Automotive Logistics) is a conference that brings together inspiring speakers from business and academia so they can share their approaches and opinions towards the latest trends in logistics, manufacturing and integration and the use of new digitalisation technologies, methods and tools. We are preparing the 24th year of the conference in 2025.
#TAL2026: Digital by Design
The future of logistics is increasingly shaped not in manufacturing halls but on computer screens – in data, simulations and digital models. Before the machines move, the lines run and the crews start their first shift, we’re already modelling, testing and optimising processes.
We visualise data, use artificial intelligence and seek answers to extremely complex tasks.How are logistics challenges changing now that digitalisation is integral to solution designs, not a supplement? How do teams of digital natives approach their work?
At the TAL 2026 – Digital by Design conference, we seek answers directly in practice. Look forward to case studies from companies that have digitalisation rooted in their processes, where a digital approach underlies every decision. Come share your experience, take in new ideas and meet people who can help you take your projects further.
