About the congress

FIATA 2026 will bring together industry leaders, experts, and professionals from across the globe to discuss the most pressing challenges and opportunities in freight forwarding and logistics. The congress will feature high-level panels, interactive workshops, networking sessions and an extensive exhibition area. With a rich programme and a strong international presence, FIATA 2026 is the place to be for anyone looking to stay ahead in the world of logistics.

The motto “Empowering Global Logistics” encapsulates both the ambition and the spirit of this congress.

Empowering reflects the drive to equip professionals, companies, and institutions with the tools, knowledge, and networks to lead change. From digitalization and big data to sustainability and innovative business models, the congress aims to provide actionable insights that strengthen the role of logistics as a backbone of global trade.

Global Logistics highlights the scope of FIATA’s mission and the universality of the challenges and opportunities we face. Milano, with its strategic position, world-class infrastructure, and role as Southern Europe’s leading air freight hub, is the perfect stage to address these topics at a global level.
In short, this motto expresses a commitment: to empower individuals and organizations to embrace the global dimension of logistics, and to do it together, as a community united by the common goal of shaping the future of trade.
