Management consultancy, Shape Tomorrow, is thrilled to announce it will be hosting its third Sustainable Logistics LIVE event in Manchester this spring, following the success of last year’s event.
As the UK’s only event dedicated to reducing Scope 3 emissions by implementing smart, green logistics solutions, Sustainable Logistics LIVE [SLL] 2026 is a hybrid conference going from strength to strength.
With large UK manufacturers, retailers and SMEs attending, it will unite business and academia to accelerate the pace of progress in achieving net zero in the sector, while outlining actionable steps from ‘today’.

With the overarching theme “Collaborate to Accelerate”, SLL 2026 will consist of main keynotes and panels alongside ‘Bright Labs’ practical workshops, networking zones and a ‘Beyond Logistics’ exhibition area showcasing smart, green solutions – each designed to introduce powerful new ways to connect, learn and accelerate real-world impact.
After welcoming over 600 people to SLL 2025 – held across two venues in London and Leeds – Shape Tomorrow has chosen Bridgewater Hall in Manchester as this year’s destination, with many leading businesses situated in the city and a huge gap in the region to create a Northern Hub of like-minded professionals.

Kelly Hobson, Managing Director at Shape Tomorrow, said: “After the tremendous success of Sustainable Logistics LIVE 2025, one thing became clear: real change happens when people come together. That’s why this year’s theme “Collaborate to Accelerate” sits at the heart of SLL 2026.
“On 26th March, hundreds of sustainability leaders, logistics managers and supply chain professionals will come together in Manchester – one of the UK’s greatest business hubs – to explore practical, commercially viable solutions already transforming smart, green logistics.
“By attending the UK’s only event dedicated to smarter, greener logistics with Scope 3 reduction at its core, not only will you gain fresh insights, hear powerful case studies and connect with leaders accelerating measurable progress across UK supply chains, but you will be part of a community driving real change in sustainability.”
Boasting over a decade of experience in the international logistics sector, Kelly Hobson is committed to helping business leaders recognise commercial value through sustainability initiatives and has become a driving force in helping businesses navigate the path towards a more responsible and sustainable future.
