In the past, alchemists combined various substances and elements to reveal their hidden properties and achieve desired, sometimes even supernatural results, e.g., the transmutation of lead into gold. Today’s logistician has a a wide range of automation and robotics elements that he or she ingeniously combines to achieve more efficient logistics. How to find the perfect mix of technologies, processes, and human potential to help logistics meet the demands of the future? Join more than 700 logistics experts at the EASTLOG 2025 congress and discover the right “ingredients” for a successful mix of automation and robotics.
Imagine EASTLOG as a logistics laboratory where the key ingredients for success mix in the congress test tubes: inspiration, innovation and networking. At the 28th edition of the largest logistics congress in the Czech Republic, you will experience how the theory of automation and robotics comes to life in practice. The programme offers a full day of inspiration, where the different components of logistics come together in a perfect mix. EASTLOG is the place where the alchemy of logistics shows its true strength.
Join us on 29-30 May 2025 at the 28th EASTLOG Logistics and Transport Congress and discuss with around 700 professionals how to mix automation and robotics correctly in your business.
EASTLOG is the oldest and largest congress for logistics, transport and supply chain in the Czech Republic. It is attended by upwards of 700 logistics professionals each year, including hundreds of logistics managers from production and distribution companies (for whom entry is free of charge). It features a full-day inspiring conference program, speed-dating meetings for quick contacts, a bevy of networking opportunities and the chance to visit the top logistics platforms
The congress EASTLOG is organized by ATOZ Group, which also publishes numerous B2B magazines including the logistics magazine Systémy Logistiky and organizes many professional meetings. These synergies help to publicize the congress EASTLOG in a way that no other conference organizer can match.
The conference programme will reveal the ingredients for the right mix of automation and robotics. The day will kick off with a joint morning session where opinions, experiences and visions will mix. Inspirational keynote speakers will bring new ingredients to your thinking, practical case studies will show how theory works in practice, and panel discussions with Czech logistics industry leaders will offer a unique chemistry of ideas and solutions. Join this debate lab and be part of the process that will define the future of logistics.
Inspiration at the congress comes not only from the programme on the main stage, but also from the afternoon specialised sessions, which respond to the latest trends and challenges in logistics like carefully blended mixtures. These sessions are designed to focus on the key areas that are shaping the future of the industry. These are four dedicated sessions on the current topics that are driving the world of logistics:
CASE STUDIES: INTRALOGISTICS
One of the afternoon blocks will focus on intra-company logistics, because it is in this area that the biggest technical and technological changes are taking place. The section will consist of a series of case studies, in which representatives of both sides of the business case will always speak. The listeners will thus get an idea of how the given innovation was implemented. The case studies will focus on topics such as automation and robotization, the digitalization of logistics processes, the reduction of energy intensity or industrial development.
CASE STUDIES: TRANSPORT AND SCM
While the first afternoon section will focus on intralogistics, in the second we will – to put it briefly – look at what is happening outside the company. That means the topic will be transport and supply-customer chains. Both elements are very closely related, which has been particularly evident in connection with the covid-19 pandemic, Russian aggression in Ukraine or tensions in the Middle East. This program point will again be conceived as a set of short case studies that will thematically depict areas such as transport, forwarding, supply chain or inventory management.
HR ROUNDTABLE
This year’s congress will again include the popular roundtable focused on human resources with experts on personnel issues in logistics and transport. There are many topics to be addressed and discussed: the shortage of workers, increasing personnel costs associated with the inflationary crisis, the necessity of specialization in certain professions with the simultaneous need to ensure some activities by workers with universal skills, the interplay of people and machines, a different view of young employees on their careers and perspectives companies, etc. The roundtable will be moderated, and there will be short presentations that will raise certain topics and stimulate the subsequent debates.
ESG ROUNDTABLE
After last year’s premiere, this programme item has become a fixed part of the afternoon sessions, which the organisers are using to respond to the increasingly topical requirements in the field of ESG. Non-financial reporting applies to all large companies and in the future also to some SMEs. The “mentality” of non-financial reporting. The workshop will take the form of a roundtable around which ESG experts will sit. Brief presentations will be made during the course of the workshop to develop a discussion among the experts present.
Imagine BizLOG as a test tube in which ingredients are mixed for the perfect business connection. Ten-minute “speed-dating” sessions, carefully facilitated by the congress organizers, allow you to quickly see if the chemistry between customer and supplier is working. BizLOG is a key ingredient in the recipe for effective networking.
After a day full of logistics insights, we invite you to the Logistics Business Mixer, a laboratory for informal networking. In this unique evening programme, the ingredients of fun, competitions, games and delicious refreshments combine to create an unforgettable experience. The presence of more than three hundred logistics professionals creates the ideal environment for distilling new business relationships and gaining inspiration. Come discover the true alchemy of meeting in logistics!
During the excursions, you will get a unique insight into the very heart of logistics operations, where automation theory transcends into the real world. You will see how the different ingredients – technology, processes and human know-how – mix in perfect proportion to create a functional and efficient solution. You’ll see that automation is not just textbook alchemy or a laboratory experiment, but a real force shaping modern logistics and making it more efficient. Come and experience this unique symbiosis for yourself.
