PROLOG Supply Chain Conference 2026
26.03.2026 Nordic Hotel Forum (Viru väljak 3, 10111 Tallinn)
Finding solutions to changes and the crises that arise from them has become an integral part of everyday work. To paraphrase the living classics: “I would like to manage supply chains properly, but I can’t. I have to constantly solve crises.” This is the new reality and we have no choice but to adapt or disappear. That is why the PROLOG Supply Chain Conference once again looks deeply into the changing world and environment.
We maintain our international focus. We bring you speakers from around the world to give you a global view of what is happening, because we are not alone in these changes and the whole world is looking for answers to the same questions. The backbone of the conference is the best local speakers who have examples of solutions right here in Estonia. We offer speakers whose management experiences help to see opportunities in the changing business environment and find solutions to overcome the problems that have arisen. Through the experiences of international and Estonian speakers, we bring clarity to how the processes taking place in the world affect the activities of our companies and the country. It is necessary to know how we, as logistics and supply chain managers, need to navigate this confusion in order to make the right decisions.
PROLOG’s 6th International Supply Chain Conference is a valuable meeting place for everyone in the industry, trade, forwarding, transport and logistics sectors. It is a great place to make new contacts in the supply chain and purchasing field. In addition to daytime presentations from the best experts from the world and Estonia, an integral part of the conference is evening networking – communication in a relaxed atmosphere with wine and snacks. So it is this time too!
