2,722 exhibitors from 73 countries, over 77,000 visitors from more than 130 countries, and 65% international exhibitor share – these record-breaking figures from the recent transport logistic and air cargo Europe in Munich underline the industry’s need for strong, global platforms for exchange and innovation.
Following the successful trade fair in Munich, the international logistics and air cargo industry is looking ahead to the next major event: transport logistic Americas and air cargo Americas, which will take place in Miami from November 11 to 13, 2025.
As global trade talks are increasingly characterized by changing customs policies and economic uncertainty, experts emphasize the importance of international platforms where stakeholders can assess and respond to
these developments.

“Changes in global trade policies directly impact companies’ network design, logistics flows, and total cost of ownership within their supply chains,” said Dr. Monique Murfield, Associate Professor and Director of the Center for Supply Chain Excellence, Farmer School of Business, Miami University. “Global supply chains cannot be upended overnight, so in times
of uncertainty, conferences are particularly important to provide opportunities for supply chain executives to exchange ideas and strategies.”
This need for dialogue is not only about policy; it also extends to the innovation and resilience that modern supply chains demand. “One of the core challenges in global supply chain design today is balancing efficiency with resilience—especially when operating across diverse regulatory and risk environments,” adds Dr. Adegoke Oke, Professor and Chair of
Department of Supply Chain Management, W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University. “Bringing decision-makers together at events like this allows the industry to translate complex requirements into
actionable strategies.”
The Miami Beach Convention Center will once again be the meeting place for key players from across the global supply chain. Organized by Messe München, the event is the largest fair for logistics and intermodal freight transportation in the USA and brings together logistics and air cargo professionals, supply chain executives, and shippers from key industries.
The format combines high-level networking on the show floor with a diverse educational program in seminars and sessions, attracting participants from North and South America, Europe, and Asia.
“The strong momentum from Munich shows that the industry values structured exchange, especially when many markets are in transition,” says Dr. Robert Schönberger, Global Industry Lead transport logistic and air cargo exhibitions at Messe München. “With transport logistic Americas and air cargo Americas, we aim to offer exactly that kind of orientation and focus—
tailored to the realities of the Americas.”
Held at the intersection of key trade routes between North and South America, Miami offers the ideal location to foster international dialogue. A comprehensive seminar program will accompany the exhibition, covering topics such as regional infrastructure, nearshoring, sustainability, digitalization, and multimodal logistics.
“The topics on the agenda are highly relevant to current industry developments.” Dr. Schönberger adds. “We look forward to welcoming the global logistics community to one of the most dynamic trade regions in the world.”
