What an event in Düsseldorf! The energy at this year’s Logistics Summit was great, and we were happy to be back in the heart of the conversation. For two packed days, we immersed ourselves in business sessions, deep-dive discussions, and networking, all focused on a shared goal: building a more resilient and efficient future for global logistics.
This year was special for us, as we were proud to step up as the main sponsor of the evening program, helping to keep the great conversations going long after the main stages closed.
The event was a fantastic opportunity for meaningful one-on-one conversations with our clients and partners. But a true highlight for our team was the chance to host a dedicated masterclass on what is the most transformative force in our industry today: Artificial Intelligence.
Masterclass: Turning logistics experts into true heroes
One of our proudest moments was hosting our masterclass, “Turning logistics experts into true heroes: An AI success story,” on the Mont Blanc Stage. In front of over 80 engaged attendees, Christopher Wendels (Director of Product Management) and Simone Furlan (VP Operations Europe) shared a visionary look at how Forto leverages AI.
Our philosophy is simple but powerful: AI should not replace human expertise, but supercharge it. The session explored this very idea, walking the audience through the day-to-day journey of a logistics Operations Manager. They demonstrated the shift that occurs when our agentic AI system, Flash by Forto, enters the picture. Tasks that were once manual and time-consuming become streamlined and automated, freeing up our experts to focus on what they do best: strategic problem-solving and proactive client communication for greater service quality.
Beyond the stage: Conversations that matter
The fair was also an opportunity to meet our valued partners and customers. Our teams ended their days fulfilled and full of energy thanks to great conversations. They not only covered topics around the practical application of AI in logistics but also day-to-day logistics challenges that all players in the industry are confronted with.
These kinds of conversations are what brings the industry forward and we are always happy to connect.
For us, the true value of an event like this lies in the conversations that happen between sessions, at the booths, and over a coffee. Our teams ended their days energized by the great discussions with valued partners and customers.
While the practical application of AI was a hot topic, we also dove deep into the day-to-day operational challenges that everyone in the industry faces, for example navigating market volatility and improving supply chain visibility. These honest exchanges and shared experiences are the engine of progress, and we are grateful for the opportunity to connect and collaborate.
The Forto Evening Cocktail
As the main sponsor of the Logistics Summit 2025 evening program, we wanted to create a space where the day’s energy could continue to flow. At our dedicated bar, we served a selection of our very own Forto cocktails, providing the perfect setting for relaxed networking.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a Forto event without some friendly competition! The annual Beer Pong Tournament was a real success, bringing people together and proving that powerful connections can be made while having a bit of fun. Almost 100 people attended, creating a vibrant and competitive atmosphere to celebrate a smarter future for logistics.
Looking ahead
The Logistics Summit 2025 was a powerful reminder that we are part of a dynamic, forward-thinking industry. The talks we had with clients and partners emphasized this and made us leave fully energised and excited to continue playing our part in shaping its future. We want to make logistics more digital, sustainable, and intelligent, one shipment at a time.
