Retail Supply Chain & Logistics Expo UK is a free, two-day B2B trade show at ExCeL London for retail fulfilment, last-mile delivery and supply chain technology, organised by Fortem International and run on one ticket shared with three co-located shows; the 2026 edition runs 11 to 12 November 2026.
Retail Supply Chain & Logistics Expo UK is a free-to-attend, two-day B2B trade show and conference at ExCeL London covering retail fulfilment, last-mile delivery, 3PL, warehousing and supply chain technology, aimed at retailers and brands sourcing logistics and supply chain solutions, per the organiser's own site (retailscl.com and its UK domain retailscl.co.uk) and trade listings (Supply Chain Digital, 10times.com). It runs each November at ExCeL London on one free ticket shared with three co-located Fortem International shows: Smart Retail Tech UK, E-commerce, Packaging & Labelling Expo UK, and White & Private Label Expo (run since a 21 November 2024 acquisition by the related company Business Show Media, per fashionunited.uk and matching posts on retailscl.com and whitelabelexpo.com, as documented in EventsIndex's Smart Retail Tech UK and E-commerce, Packaging & Labelling Expo UK fiches). A sibling edition of the same brand runs in the United States, in Las Vegas on 30 September and 1 October 2026, per retailscl.com's own US show page; this fiche covers the London edition only.
The 2026 edition runs Wednesday 11 to Thursday 12 November 2026, with opening hours of 10:00 to 17:00 on the Wednesday and 10:00 to 16:00 on the Thursday, matching the hours published for the co-located Smart Retail Tech UK and confirmed separately on the venue's own listing (excel.london/whats-on/retail-supply-chain-logistics-expo-2026). The venue is ExCeL London, Royal Victoria Dock, 1 Western Gateway, London E16 1XL, roughly ten minutes from Canary Wharf per the organiser's own visitor copy. No specific hall or stand-number block for this show was found in the sources checked. The same dates and venue host the three co-located shows named above.
Fortem International Ltd organises Retail Supply Chain & Logistics Expo UK, per the organiser's own "About" page at retailscl.co.uk/about and confirmed as one of the three Fortem-run shows in this co-located cluster in EventsIndex's research for the sibling Smart Retail Tech UK and E-commerce, Packaging & Labelling Expo UK fiches. Fortem International is a Bristol-headquartered trade show organiser, incorporated 28 January 2011 (Companies House company number 07509493), running more than 35 events across sectors including e-commerce, technology and retail from offices in the UK, USA and UAE (fortem-international.com). The contact on record for this show is inquiries.rscllv@fortem-international.com, matching the per-show contact pattern used across its sibling Fortem International shows (for example inquiries.epllv@fortem-international.com for the packaging show, enquiries.srt@fortem-international.com for Smart Retail Tech); a general phone number, +44 117 457 9146, is also listed for Fortem International.
No single organiser-audited attendance figure was found. One 2026 preview (ecommercetech.io) reports the event is "expected to attract over 6,000 supply chain and logistics experts," while the organiser's own site (retailscl.com) separately describes "over 3,500 online retailers, business owners, and key decision-makers" expected to attend (both unverifiable information, neither independently corroborated). Exhibitor counts also vary by source: one 2026 preview reports "200+ exhibitors," covering sectors including 3PL, supply chain and last-mile delivery (unverifiable information). Because the free ticket also covers the three co-located shows, the room includes visitors there primarily for retail technology, packaging and white-label sourcing rather than supply chain alone. No breakdown by seniority or company size was found.
Not documented in detail against a prior edition in the sources checked this session: no dated comparison of the 2025 and 2026 editions (exhibitor count, floor size, added zones) was found. What is documented for 2026 specifically is the speaker line-up (see below), drawn from named retailers and delivery platforms; whether this represents an expansion on 2025's programme was not confirmed.
Keynote and seminar speakers named for 2026 in the sources checked include Alvaro Bernabe, Yarl Dunn, Wim Van Emelen, Umair Shams and Trevor Ruane, with additional named speakers from ASDA, Just Eat, Co-op and Shopify, on themes including omnichannel retail and supply chain optimisation (per a 2026 event preview found in this research). Individual session titles, times and room assignments were not retrieved. As with the co-located Smart Retail Tech UK, the show floor itself, exhibitor stands across 3PL, warehousing and last-mile delivery categories, runs alongside these seminar sessions.
Documented formats: exhibitor stands on the show floor, and keynote or seminar sessions featuring named retail and logistics speakers (see programme entry). No named track structure, masterclass series or awards programme specific to this show, distinct from its co-located siblings, was found in the sources checked. No b2b matchmaking or advance-scheduling programme is recorded in the database for this event (b2b_matchmaking and advance_scheduling both 0 in EventsIndex's records), consistent with no such programme found in research.
The defining side-programme is structural: one free ticket also admits visitors to three co-located shows running the same two days at the same venue: Smart Retail Tech UK, E-commerce, Packaging & Labelling Expo UK, and White & Private Label Expo. No separate satellite conference, hackathon, awards ceremony or partner-day programme distinct from the shared show floor was found for this show specifically.
Registration is free: every listing checked describes a free trade ticket, consistent with the shared-ticket structure documented for the co-located shows. The same free ticket covers entry to the three co-located shows described above. No paid or VIP tier was found. No published price list for a stand or sponsorship package was found.
Not publicly disclosed. No call-for-speakers page, application form or submission deadline was found in the sources checked. The named 2026 speakers (see programme entry) are drawn from retailers and delivery platforms (ASDA, Just Eat, Co-op, Shopify) rather than from an open submission process, consistent with the invited-speaker pattern documented for the co-located sibling shows.
Not publicly disclosed with a show-specific contact. An "Exhibit" page exists on the organiser's site (retailscl.com/welcome-lv/exhibit-lv, found for the Las Vegas edition), implying an equivalent London exhibit page exists, but its contact details were not retrieved in this research. No sponsorship tier names or pricing specific to this show were found.
Not publicly disclosed. No named headline or gold sponsor for the 2026 edition was found in the sources checked. The named 2026 speaker companies, ASDA, Just Eat, Co-op and Shopify, are documented as speakers, not confirmed as sponsors, and this distinction is a documented gap rather than a sponsor list.
No independently audited attendee or exhibitor breakdown by company size or sector was found. The organiser's own framing is retailers, online retailers and business owners sourcing logistics, fulfilment and supply chain solutions; the named 2026 speaker companies (ASDA, Just Eat, Co-op, Shopify) skew toward large UK grocery, delivery-platform and e-commerce-platform businesses, consistent with that framing but not a statistically representative sample.
Not publicly disclosed. No press or media accreditation page, deadline or press contact was found on the pages checked.
Coverage found is almost entirely trade-listing content rather than independent reporting: Supply Chain Digital, Automation Magazine, Process & Control Engineering and Converter Magazine each carry a 2026 event-listing entry naming dates, venue and the co-located shows, without independent attendance or exhibitor figures of their own. No national business or consumer press coverage was found.
Weak as independent verification. No media partner is recorded against this event in the database (official_media_partners is empty), so no outlet found here carries an organiser-declared "media partner" status to flag. The trade-listing outlets found (Supply Chain Digital, Automation Magazine, Process & Control Engineering, Converter Magazine) recycle organiser-supplied dates and figures without an independent count. The two conflicting attendance figures found in this research, over 6,000 per one preview and over 3,500 per the organiser's own site, were not reconciled by any coverage checked. Treat any attendance or exhibitor figure for this show as an unaudited estimate.
Buyers who need audited, single-source attendance and exhibitor numbers before committing travel budget: as documented above, the figures found conflict and neither is organiser-audited. Prospective speakers looking for an open call for papers: no application route was found, and the named 2026 speakers point to invited retailer and platform representatives rather than an open programme. Visitors who want a single-focus show: the shared four-show ticket structure suits a buyer scanning retail technology, packaging and white-label sourcing alongside supply chain in one visit, not one who wants a narrowly scoped, single-topic floor.
Retail Supply Chain & Logistics Expo UK runs in mid-November at ExCeL London, on the same two days, 11 to 12 November 2026, as its co-located siblings Smart Retail Tech UK and E-commerce, Packaging & Labelling Expo UK, all organised by Fortem International under one shared free ticket. It sits about a week before Contact Centre Expo and C+UX, the co-located customer-experience pair also at ExCeL London (18 to 19 November 2026), and roughly two months after NRF Retail's Big Show Europe in Paris (15 to 17 September 2026) and eCommerce Expo in London (23 to 24 September 2026), both tracked elsewhere on EventsIndex's Customer Experience & Retail calendar.
Yes. A sibling edition of the same brand runs in Las Vegas, United States, on 30 September and 1 October 2026, per retailscl.com's own show pages for that edition. This is a separate event with its own registration and exhibitor list, not another edition of the London show.
English. Every page, listing and named session found in this research is in English, and no interpretation or translation service is mentioned on any page checked.
Not publicly disclosed. No livestream, virtual ticket or on-demand recording offer was found for this show in the sources checked; every listing describes it as an in-person show.
Not publicly disclosed as a distinct policy: because registration is a free trade ticket rather than a paid one, no cancellation or refund clause specific to this show was found, and none would be expected to apply to a no-cost ticket.
No event-specific accessibility statement for Retail Supply Chain & Logistics Expo UK was found in this research. The venue, ExCeL London, publishes general accessibility information that applies to any show held there: step-free access from Custom House (Elizabeth line and DLR) and Prince Regent (DLR) stations, both adjacent to the venue; wheelchair-accessible entrances with low-gradient ramps and automatic doors; level floors throughout; accessible parking bays on-site; free wheelchair and mobility-scooter hire, subject to availability; and accessible toilets across the venue (per excel.london's venue accessibility guide, also cited in EventsIndex's Smart Retail Tech UK fiche for the same venue). This is venue-level information, not an event-specific accommodation policy.
ExCeL London is at Royal Victoria Dock, 1 Western Gateway, London E16 1XL, in London's Royal Docks, about ten minutes from Canary Wharf per the organiser's own visitor copy. The two nearest stations, Custom House (Elizabeth line and DLR) and Prince Regent (DLR), sit adjacent to the venue and are both step-free, per excel.london's accessibility pages. No dedicated parking, drop-off or hotel information specific to Retail Supply Chain & Logistics Expo UK was found; ExCeL London's own site documents accessible parking bays as part of its general car park.
Because one free ticket opens four shows on the same ExCeL floor over the same two days: this show itself, Smart Retail Tech UK, E-commerce, Packaging & Labelling Expo UK, and White & Private Label Expo. For a buyer scanning 3PL, last-mile delivery, warehousing and supply chain vendors alongside in-store technology, packaging and white-label sourcing in a single trip, at no ticket cost, that combination is the practical reason to go. The named 2026 speakers from ASDA, Just Eat, Co-op and Shopify point to a programme built around large UK retail and delivery-platform case studies rather than a vendor-neutral analyst track.
The trade-off is precision: because the ticket spans four different buying categories, the room is not scoped to supply chain alone, and no attendee breakdown tells a buyer in advance how many of the people on the floor are actually there for the same reason they are.
Because no single, organiser-audited attendance figure for this show was found, and the two numbers that do circulate disagree by nearly double: one 2026 preview reports "over 6,000," while the organiser's own site separately states "over 3,500." Neither is attributed to a stated counting method, and both describe the same 11 to 12 November 2026 edition. The 200-plus exhibitor figure found in one preview is similarly a single, uncorroborated source. Until an organiser-attributed figure with a stated method appears, any number quoted for this show should be read as an estimate, not a count.
