Celebrating Our 10th Edition


The 10th WCA Specialty Logistics Conference – Istanbul 2027

Ten years of expertise. Ten years of connections. Ten years of doing business differently.

In 2027, the WCA Specialty Logistics Conference celebrates a major milestone – our 10th Anniversary.

For a decade, this exclusive event has brought together the world's leading independent specialists from across WCA Perishables, WCA Time Critical, WCA Pharma, WCA Dangerous Goods and WCA Live Events.

What began as a specialist conference has grown into a truly global community – built around expertise, trust, qualification and business between companies that understand the demands of specialist logistics.

A DECADE BUILT TOGETHER. THE NEXT CHAPTER STARTS HERE.

Our 10th Anniversary Conference will celebrate the people, partnerships and achievements that have shaped WCA Specialty Logistics over the past decade – while looking firmly towards the future.

Delegates can expect everything that has made this conference one of the most sought-after events in the WCAworld calendar, elevated for this very special anniversary:

  • High-level networking and pre-scheduled one-to-one meetings
  • WCA Align – bringing specialist logistics expertise together through interactive discussion
  • Sector-focused workshops, training and industry insight
  • WCAworld Academy opportunities across our specialist sectors
  • Unique social and team-building experiences
  • The WCA Specialty Logistics Awards
  • Special 10th Anniversary experiences and celebrations throughout the event

This will be more than another WCA Specialty Logistics Conference.

It will be a celebration of the community we have built together – and the beginning of our next decade.

EXCLUSIVELY FOR WCA SPECIALTY LOGISTICS MEMBERS

Attendance remains exclusively available to approved members of:

WCA Perishables | WCA Time Critical | WCA Pharma | WCA Dangerous Goods | WCA Live Events
