Manifest 2026 Kicks Off Today in Las Vegas

Manifest 2026 Kicks Off Today in Las Vegas

Manifest officially kicks off today in Las Vegas, bringing together thousands of leaders from across supply chain, logistics, transportation, and technology for one of the industry’s most influential events of the year. Running February 9–11 at The Venetian, Manifest 2026 marks the start of three days packed with conversations about how global supply chains are evolving and what operators should be preparing for next.

A Cross-Section of the Entire Supply Chain

Manifest has earned its reputation by pulling together every corner of the logistics ecosystem in one place. Shippers, retailers, 3PLs, carriers, technology providers, startups, and investors are all on site this week, creating a rare environment where strategy, execution, and innovation intersect.

The agenda reflects that diversity. Sessions span warehouse operations, transportation networks, automation, artificial intelligence, cold chain, inventory visibility, and last-mile delivery, with a strong emphasis on practical lessons from real operators rather than theoretical future-state discussions.

Technology and Execution in the Spotlight

The expo floor is once again a major focal point of the event. Hundreds of companies are showcasing tools designed to help supply chains operate faster, leaner, and with greater resilience. From robotics and automation to warehouse management systems, transportation platforms, and analytics tools, the technology on display highlights how quickly the logistics stack continues to mature.

For many attendees, Manifest is where early-stage ideas turn into real evaluations, vendor conversations, and pilot programs that will shape operations throughout the year.

Conversations That Carry Beyond the Event

One of Manifest’s biggest differentiators is the concentration of decision-makers in attendance. With senior operators, founders, and executives all in the same rooms, the event has become a place where partnerships are formed, roadmaps are refined, and buying decisions often begin.

The networking happening alongside the sessions and expo floor is just as important as the content itself, and many of the conversations started this week will extend well beyond Las Vegas.

Why Manifest Matters in 2026

Supply chains are under increasing pressure to balance cost control, speed, flexibility, and customer experience — all while navigating labor constraints, economic uncertainty, and rapidly changing technology. Manifest arrives at a moment when many companies are reassessing their fulfillment strategies, transportation networks, and technology investments.

As the event gets underway, it offers a timely opportunity for the industry to step back from day-to-day execution and focus on what the next phase of logistics and supply chain operations should look like.
