Why Multimodal is worth your attention
Multimodal 2026
In 2026, the UK logistics industry converges like never before
Multimodal is stepping up with even more value for attendees: the co-location of Warehouse and Yard (formerly IWLEX and YARDX) in an adjacent, seamlessly connected hall means smoother navigation and richer networking across supply chain functions.
At the same time, eDX — the delivery and fulfilment arm of IRX — joins Multimodal under one roof. For over a decade, eDX has equipped online retailers and brands with the tools and insights to streamline last-mile logistics. Now, it’s bringing that expertise to the heart of the UK’s most comprehensive logistics event.
Meanwhile, just down the road at Stoneleigh Park, Road Transport Expo (RTX) will be in full swing — with free shuttle buses linking it directly to the NEC. It’s a powerful alignment that makes Birmingham the undisputed hub of UK logistics that week.
From freight forwarding to yard safety, warehouse automation to last-mile delivery — this is the only place where every link in the UK logistics chain comes together.
One destination. Unlimited opportunity. Business gets done here.
