Taking place on May 28–29, 2026, at The St. Regis Bangkok, GELS is the first global conference dedicated exclusively to event logistics. The summit will focus on the planning, coordination, transportation, infrastructure, and operational systems required to deliver major sporting events, concerts, festivals, exhibitions, fashion shows, motorsports, touring productions, and cultural showcases worldwide.
From Formula 1 and MotoGP freight operations to the movement of priceless artworks for international exhibitions, and from concert touring infrastructure to the transportation of elite equestrian horses and sports equipment, GELS aims to unpack the real-world logistics behind some of the world’s most complex live events.
The summit will feature panel discussions, keynote sessions, and on-stage conversations covering areas such as sports logistics, motorsports logistics, concert touring, fashion logistics, circus logistics, broadcast operations, exhibition logistics, sustainability, and risk management in live event delivery.
Confirmed speakers include representatives from organisations such as FIFA, MotoGP, UNTOLD Group, Art Basel, HACTL, Etihad Airways Cargo, World Circus Federation, Tomorrowland, and several global logistics and aviation companies.
Unlike traditional logistics conferences focused purely on cargo and supply chains, GELS positions logistics within the broader experience economy — examining how transport, mobility, operational planning, and infrastructure directly shape global events, tourism, and cultural exchange.
The summit is expected to attract a niche international audience of airlines, airports, freight forwarders, sports federations, event organisers, production companies, tourism boards, museums, galleries, and government stakeholders.
At its core, GELS 2026 aims to showcase the people, systems, and operational expertise that quietly power the world’s most extraordinary events — often behind the scenes, under extreme time pressure, and with zero margin for error.
