SITL 2027 – Paris, France

What to expect in 2027

SITL 2027 will bring together transport, logistics and supply chain professionals at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. The exhibition is designed as a major meeting place for carriers, logistics providers, shippers, technology companies, infrastructure operators, public authorities and specialist solution providers. The organiser describes SITL as a European meeting place where industry participants can examine solutions, discuss investment priorities, discover innovations and develop future transport and logistics strategies.

The event covers a broad section of the transport and logistics value chain. Visitors can explore road transport, freight and logistics services, intralogistics, automation, robotics, packaging, pallets, information systems, IoT, digital technologies, alternative energy, infrastructure, real estate, consulting and professional services.

A central theme for the 2027 edition is TRAJECTORIES. The programme is intended to address the choices facing the transport and logistics industry as companies respond to economic, environmental, technological and geopolitical changes. The organiser is positioning the event around questions of investment, resilience, decarbonisation, operational performance and the practical deployment of new solutions.

SITL is also designed to support direct commercial interaction. Exhibitors can demonstrate their products and services to decision-makers, while professional visitors can identify suppliers, compare technologies and arrange business meetings. The organiser currently highlights more than 27,000 professionals, more than 3,450 business meetings, more than 580 exhibitors and more than 80 conferences as reference figures for the event.

Visitors can therefore expect a combination of exhibition stands, technical content, business meetings, networking, technology demonstrations and specialist areas rather than a conventional consumer trade fair.

Pavilion 1 provides the exhibition environment for SITL, with space for exhibitors, industry displays, conference areas, business meetings and visitor services.

The venue is located in the 15th arrondissement of Paris and is well connected to the city’s public transport network. Its location makes it possible for visitors to stay in central Paris or in districts closer to the exhibition centre while still having straightforward access to the event.

The official SITL FAQ confirms Pavilion 1 and gives the venue address as 1 Place de la Porte de Versailles, 75015 Paris.

Full industry programme

The 2027 industry programme will focus on the major choices facing transport and logistics companies, with TRAJECTORIES serving as the overarching programme concept. The organiser describes this programme as a forum where shippers, carriers, logistics providers, territories, institutions and solution providers can compare approaches and consider practical responses to industry challenges.

The programme is expected to address several interconnected areas:

• Decarbonisation: Reducing emissions across transport and logistics operations.
• Digital transformation: Using data, connected platforms and digital systems to improve operations.
• Artificial intelligence: Examining practical applications of AI in logistics and supply chain management.
• Automation: Exploring robotics and automated handling systems.

Industry sectors & technologies

SITL covers a broad range of transport and logistics sectors. Its exhibition structure reflects the fact that modern supply chains depend on interconnected transport services, warehouses, information systems, infrastructure and specialised equipment.

Major sectors include:

• Transport and logistics services
• Freight and road transport
• Intralogistics
• Robotics and automation
• Warehousing
• Packaging and pallets

The organiser’s exhibitor system uses categories such as transport and logistics services, intralogistics and automation, packaging and pallets, and technologies, IoT and information systems. The previous exhibition structure also included alternative energies, infrastructure, real estate and consulting.

Technology is particularly important to the exhibition. Visitors can investigate warehouse automation, robotics, fleet-management systems, transport-management software, tracking systems, connected devices, artificial intelligence, data platforms and digital supply-chain tools.

Products, machinery & innovations

The product range at SITL extends from physical logistics equipment to advanced software and digital services. This makes the exhibition useful for both companies purchasing machinery and businesses looking for technology-based improvements.

Products and solutions can include:

• Warehouse automation systems
• Autonomous mobile robots
• Conveyor systems

Innovation is also represented through the Innovation Awards by SITL. The awards are designed to showcase products, initiatives and start-up solutions that can contribute to long-term transformation within the transport and logistics industry.

Visitors interested in innovation can therefore use SITL to compare established technologies with newer solutions entering the market.

Demonstrations & technical presentations

SITL combines product displays with technical content intended to help professionals understand how new technologies can be applied. Exhibitors can demonstrate their equipment and software directly, while conference stages provide a wider discussion of industry challenges.

Previous editions have featured sessions on ecological transition, decarbonisation, artificial intelligence, robotisation and urban logistics. The programme has also included themed villages and specialist areas where visitors could investigate particular aspects of the supply chain.

Demonstrations can be particularly useful for visitors evaluating automation and digital systems because these technologies often require more explanation than a conventional product display. Exhibitors can show workflows, system interfaces, equipment capabilities and potential operational applications.

The 2027 programme is expected to continue combining practical demonstrations with expert presentations, allowing visitors to move between commercial exhibition areas and educational sessions.

Ticket types & registration

The official SITL 2027 practical information page currently lists the visitor badge at approximately $117 before taxes when purchased in advance. The organiser lists a $234 before taxes on-site reference price. These dollar figures are converted from the organiser’s published prices using an approximate current EUR/USD rate, so the final amount charged in USD may vary with currency conversion and payment processing.

Online visitor badge: approximately $117 before taxes

On-site visitor badge: approximately $234 before taxes

The official website currently indicates that ticketing will open later, so visitors should not treat the registration system as fully open yet. The organiser encourages professional visitors to register online and use the official platform for badge access.

Conference access is included with the visitor badge, and the official FAQ states that conference and event access does not require separate pre-registration.

Trade visitor & professional access

SITL is primarily a professional B2B exhibition. Its visitor community includes carriers, logistics operators, shippers, supply-chain professionals, technology providers, infrastructure organisations, public authorities, consultants and other industry specialists.

The event is particularly relevant to decision-makers who are researching new technologies, planning investments, reviewing suppliers or developing logistics strategies. The organiser describes SITL as a meeting place where companies can connect with decision-makers who have active projects.

Professional visitors can use the exhibitor directory before attending to identify companies and products relevant to their requirements. They can then arrange meetings through MySITL and use the event’s digital tools to organise their visit.

The professional nature of the event also means that networking and direct supplier contact are central components of the visitor experience.

Exhibition halls & floor plan

SITL 2027 will take place in Pavilion 1 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. The official website provides floor-plan access through SITL Now, allowing visitors to find exhibitors and navigate the exhibition digitally.

The detailed 2027 floor plan can be used to locate exhibitors and specialist areas as the organiser finalises the exhibition layout. Visitors should use the official interactive floor plan rather than relying on older pavilion maps from previous editions.

The exhibition layout is expected to organise companies and solutions around the major areas of the transport and logistics industry, including transport services, intralogistics, automation, technology, packaging, energy and infrastructure.

The SITL Now mobile service provides an interactive floor plan together with the exhibitor list and conference locations. This can make it easier for visitors to plan routes between meetings, exhibition stands and conference sessions.

Business meetings & networking

Business meetings are one of the central components of SITL. The MySITL platform is available to registered participants and provides tools for identifying relevant companies, finding products and arranging appointments.

The platform allows visitors and exhibitors to create business opportunities before arriving at the venue. Participants can search for potential contacts and organise appointments according to their professional objectives.

A dedicated Meeting Hub provides support for participants using the platform and facilitates professional exchanges during the exhibition.

The organiser currently reports more than 3,450 business meetings as a reference figure for SITL. The latest completed edition recorded 3,478 business meetings, demonstrating the importance of scheduled B2B interaction within the event format.

Event rules & visitor information

Visitors must register through the official SITL system and comply with the access and security conditions established by the organiser and venue. A valid visitor badge is required for entry.

Professional visitors should keep their badge available while moving around the exhibition. The organiser also provides digital services that allow visitors to exchange contact details with exhibitors and manage their professional interactions.

The official FAQ provides information about visitor badges, conferences, accessibility, visas, transportation and accommodation. International visitors who require a visa should review the relevant French visa requirements and the documentation supplied through the SITL registration process.

Visitors should also be aware that the organiser warns against third-party companies claiming to sell SITL databases. RX states that it does not sell or rent its data to such companies and advises participants to treat these messages as fraudulent.

How to get there

Paris Expo Porte de Versailles is located in the 15th arrondissement and is directly connected to Paris’s public transport network.

By Metro: Porte de Versailles station on Metro Line 12 provides direct access to the exhibition centre.

By Tram: Tram services also serve Porte de Versailles, providing connections from different parts of Paris.

By Bus: Several Paris bus routes operate in the surrounding area.

By Car: Visitors can drive to the exhibition centre and use nearby parking facilities, although public transport is generally practical for reaching Porte de Versailles from central Paris.

By Train: Visitors arriving at Paris railway stations can connect to the Paris public transport network and continue to Porte de Versailles.

International visitors arriving through Paris airports can use the city’s rail and public transport network or taxis and private transfers to reach the exhibition centre.

Public transport & parking

Public transport is a practical way to reach Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. The venue is connected to Metro Line 12 and Paris’s tram and bus network, making it accessible from central districts and major transport hubs.

Visitors arriving by car can use nearby parking facilities. The official SITL practical information identifies P1 at 2 Rue d’Oradour-sur-Glane and P6 accessed from Place des Insurgés de Varsovie as parking options.

The organiser encourages visitors to consider lower-carbon transport options when travelling to the event. The official practical information includes tools for calculating the carbon impact of a journey and planning routes to the exhibition centre.

Public transport can therefore be particularly convenient for visitors staying in central Paris, while parking provides an alternative for those who need to travel by car.

Accommodation areas

Visitors can choose accommodation in several parts of Paris depending on their priorities. The 15th arrondissement is one of the most convenient areas for visitors who want to remain close to Paris Expo Porte de Versailles.

Montparnasse is another practical area, offering railway connections, restaurants and access to the wider Paris transport network. Visitors staying around Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the Latin Quarter or central Paris can also reach the exhibition centre by public transport.

Accommodation around the convention centre may be convenient for professionals with early meetings or several appointments. However, staying farther into central Paris can provide a wider choice of restaurants, attractions and evening activities.

SITL’s official practical information also provides information about preferential transport and accommodation offers when available through event partners.

Accessibility

Paris Expo Porte de Versailles provides facilities designed to support visitors with reduced mobility. The official SITL FAQ specifically states that the venue facilitates access for people with reduced mobility and provides an access plan for Pavilion 1.

Accessible facilities are available at the main entrance of Pavilion 1, including adapted ticket counters. Visitors who need additional assistance should review the venue information before travelling and contact the organiser if they have specific requirements.

The central location of Paris Expo Porte de Versailles also provides several public transport options, allowing visitors to select the route that best suits their mobility needs.
