A three-way special of logistics
NEC exploding with logistics. Wall to wall trade stands. Multimodal joined by E-Retail expo and Warehouse & Yard. Making a three-way Joint three trade show – a must-attend. For 2026 eDelivery Expo (eDX), the delivery and fulfilment arm of IRX, has a new home at Multimodal show.
All under a single roof to highlight innovations in last-mile logistics, fulfilment and cross-border delivery. eDX on the blue carpets, co-located with MultiModal, attracting 15,000 retailers, brands, shippers and suppliers.
eDX is part of UK Logistics Week, a powerful new collaboration uniting 5 shows covering warehouse, last-mile logistics, supply chain, road transport and fulfilment.
In a move set to transform the UK logistics and supply chain exhibition landscape, Warehouse. (formerly IWLEX) and Yard. (formerly YARDX) will, for the first time, co-locate (in adjacent halls with internal walk-through) with Multimodal — including the E-Delivery Expo — at the NEC Birmingham in 2026. One blue carpet – three shows.
One visit success for operators. This strategic collaboration marks the creation of the UK’s most comprehensive end-to-end supply chain logistics showcase and establishes the destination exhibition for the entire UK logistics ecosystem — from freight forwarding and warehouse automation to yard safety and last-mile fulfilment. Together, this strategic move forms the UK’s most complete supply chain and logistics exhibition destination. This is the only place where the entire UK logistics journey comes together — and business gets done.
New Names Reflect a Unified Future - As part of this strategic realignment:– IWLEX rebrands to Warehouse., aligning directly with its core focus on warehouse innovation, materials handling, intralogistics, and operational excellence. – YARDX rebrands to Yard., reflecting its unique position as the only platform focused on yard operations, materials handling, outdoor storage, safety, and site flow.– Multimodal, including the E-Delivery Expo, continues to represent the UK’s leading platform for freight, transport, logistics, and last-mile fulfilment. One Destination, Four Integrated Focus Areas
This co-located showcase brings together four synergistic focus areas under one roof:
– Multimodal – Freight, transport, logistics, and last-mile delivery
– Warehouse. – Intralogistics, automation, materials handling, and warehouse operations
– Yard. – Yard safety, materials handling, outdoor storage, and infrastructure
– E-Delivery – (as part of Multimodal) focused on e-commerce and fulfilment technologies
