Slovenian Logistics Association – Logistics Congress “Supply Chain Management in Science and Practice”

The Slovenian Logistics Association (SLA) and European Logistics Association (ELA) cordially invites researchers, scholars, and industry experts to present their scientific research results at the International Logistics Congress in Portorož, Slovenia.

This year’s theme reflects one of the most dynamic shifts in the logistics and supply chain domain: the growing influence of artificial intelligence (AI) on competitiveness, innovation, and resilience. Background and Relevance

AI technologies are redefining the global supply chain landscape by enabling predictive analytics, autonomous operations, and real-time decision-making. As organizations face unprecedented challenges, from volatile markets and geopolitical disruptions to sustainability pressures, the capacity to integrate intelligent systems into logistics processes has become a defining factor of competitiveness.

The SLA Logistics Congress 2026 aims to provide a high-level academic and professional platform for discussing the transformative impact of AI on supply chains. The event encourages a multidisciplinary dialogue among researchers, industry practitioners, and policymakers, connecting theoretical insights with practical applications.

This year’s topic not only highlights AI’s disruptive potential but also underlines its role as a driver for sustainable and human-centred logistics innovation. Participants are invited to explore how AI can enhance efficiency, transparency, and adaptability, and how such advancements can be leveraged to strengthen Europe’s and Slovenia’s positions in the global logistics network.
