Parcel Forum 2027

Parcel Forum focuses on the small package supply chain and last-mile delivery industries, providing over 50 educational sessions designed for transportation, shipping, distribution, and warehouse professionals to tackle evolving challenges.

PARCEL Forum 2027

PARCEL Forum 2027 runs September 13–15, 2027 at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center, 201 Waterfront Street, National Harbor, Maryland, just outside Washington, DC. It moves from Florida, where the 2026 show was held at the Gaylord Palms in Kissimmee.

What it is

The organiser describes PARCEL Forum as "the only event 100% focused on the small-package fulfillment strategy and execution", for logistics professionals who want to ship more product more efficiently and at lower cost. It is aimed at the people who handle an order's "order-to-ship" journey:

• transportation and shipping managers;
• logistics and supply chain professionals;
• distribution and warehouse managers;
• IT and systems staff who connect front-end operations to the back end;
• packaging specialists;
• freight auditors.

How the three days run

• Conference first. Monday, September 13 is a dedicated conference day (9 a.m.–5 p.m.), and conference sessions continue on the Tuesday and Wednesday.
• Separate exhibit hall hours. The exhibit hall has its own dedicated hours, apart from the conference sessions, so check the published schedule before booking travel home.
• Networking is built in: a Shipper-Only Breakfast, keynotes, a Grand Reception, the Bite & Biz Luncheon, a Women in Logistics Mimosa Meet-Up and Small World Café on the show floor.
