VTA Shipping & Logistics 2026 Conference

What a day! We still look back on it with a smile.

Our Shipping & Logistics 2026 Conference was everything we had hoped for: a full house, lots of new faces, and conversations that will resonate for a long time to come.

A special thank you goes to our speakers: Frank Schmidt, Michael Poplonski, Bernd Stiebe, Michéle Meux, Wolfgang Karl, Johannes Kuhlmann, Cengiz Andac, Christian Rotte, Daniel Alexander, Marcel Tilke, Holger Porath, Dirk Männel. You filled this day with substance, practical insights, and genuine perspectives, and put a lot of time and effort into your presentations beforehand.

And of course: Thank you to all the participants who attended. You make this conference something special every year, and you are the reason we want to keep developing this format.

We don't want to forget our behind-the-scenes team, whose planning, organization, and full commitment ensure that a conference becomes a special day: Mechthild Kuhlmann, Bea Pflips, Nicole Neumann, Viktoriya Redkina. This also includes the on-site organizers at the VELTINS-Arena, Ludger Staudinger for the great photos and Matthias Heise for filming on location (we're really looking forward to seeing the video). A huge thank you to all of you!

We're already looking forward to next year.
