On 18-20 May 2016, Poznań will once again become a venue for meetings of logisticians from all over Poland. The 13th edition of the Polish Logistics Congress LOGISTICS 2016 will also gain a European dimension, as it will be organised jointly with the European Logistics Congress EUROLOG 2016. For the second time, the European Logistics Association expressed its appreciation for the high level and broad range of the congresses.

Over 800 participants, 70 presentations, 50 exhibitors, a large group of partners and sponsors of the previous edition characterise the congress as the greatest and the most important event integrating the logistics industry in our part of Europe.

The rich formula of the congress, including lectures by experts and market leaders, sessions and thematic debates, workshops, visits to companies and the "Logistics Market" exhibition, makes the congress an excellent platform for the exchange of knowledge and experiences, presentation of achievements and a linking place for every participant from a production company, distribution company, a service provider or a scholar.

The leitmotif of the next year's congress will be "Logistics in a digital world". In this way, we would like to draw attention to a growing significance of the digitalisation of economy and the effect it has on logistics and our daily lives. It creates new challenges for logistics (e.g. in terms of an increasing share of the so-called omnichannel trade) and conditions for better implementation of logistic processes by means of developing and publishing complex IT and communication tools. It refers both to the sphere of shopping, production, distribution and trade, as well as to logistic services including transport and storage. The issues will be discussed in presentations and debates as part of thematic sessions.

Apart from the technical aspect of presented solutions, the discussions will also tackle the matter of cooperation between business partners in a scope essential to ensure successful implementations. Examples of partnerships between business and science, which is of key significance to the development of new, innovative solutions, will also be presented. The topics presented above will also be included in the programme of the ELA Research Day conference (Friday, May 20) accompanying the Congress and organised under the auspices of the European Logistics Association.

We are certain that, similarly to previous editions, the congress will provide answers to a number of questions logisticians are faced with, and inspire to take on new challenges. Therefore, you are welcome to participate in and cooperate as part of the Polish Logistics Congress LOGISTICS 2016.
