On 12-13 October 2022, an international trade fair and conference in the field of logistics and the entire supply chain - the “World of Freight” WOF Expo - took place in the beautiful city of Prague. Prague definitely made the annual CEE expo a memorable and unforgettable one. The hybrid event was held under the auspices of the Ministry of the Environment of the Czech Republic and the auspices of Prague City.

Over the course of two days, international speakers discussed the latest trends and insights from the world of logistics, supply chain and E-commerce in expert panel discussions and keynotes . The key debates were not only about the current hot topics in Digitalization like Blockchain and AI, but an important part played the future of Human Resources in Logistics in close cooperation with students and Universities of the CEE Region. Other topics touched upon the sustainable approach within logistics, introducing green warehouse projects, sustainable city logistics and e-mobility solutions. If you did not have the opportunity to participate in person, the hybrid event offered flexibility in the form of live streaming. Feel free to access the 2-day conference photo gallery here
