The SITL fair 2026 once again aims to pursue an international ambition. After several years of ‘French-French’ reorientation, the logistics fair in Paris wants to turn the tide in 2026 and promises its visitors unique experiences at a trade fair.
The 2026 edition of the SITL (Salon International du Transport et de la Logistique) fair will take place in Paris Nord Villepinte from March 31 to April 2, 2026. RX France, the organizer, announces the participation of 550 exhibitors and has the ambition to bring together more than 25,000 professionals from the transport and supply chain sector. The first list of confirmed exhibitors shows that the vast majority consist of suppliers of technological and digital solutions and that there are relatively few logistics service providers. The fair will also include four ‘thematic villages’ (Last Mile, Multimodal, Hazardous Substances, Innovation Festival). “For this edition, we aim to increase the number of international visitors, focusing mainly on three countries: Spain, Italy and Belgium,” explains Catherine Rousselot (RX France).
Where SITL innovates, however, is in the field of animations. French fairs are known for organizing many conferences (which are often well attended), but RX France goes one step further. “We want to respond to the needs of our visitors as best as possible and one of the tools we use for this is collective intelligence,” explains Catherine Rousselot. But what do we mean by ‘collective intelligence’? In addition to the pre-planned business appointments (for which even part of the fair is reserved), SITL offers its visitors experiences where they collaborate with other visitors: there is a Job Dating, private visits tailored to the needs of companies and their executives (Smart Solution Tours), the creation of joint frescoes and what SITL calls Tech’xplorations: a group of visitors gathers in a conference room around a specific theme, then looks for solutions for this theme at the fair and meets a second time to explore these different solutions. present. During the first two days of the fair, some of these activities are organized in English.
