The Global Cold Chain Alliance (GCCA) recently opened registration for the 29th European Cold Chain Conference, scheduled for March 18-20, 2026, in Düsseldorf, Germany. The organization provides a platform for operators, partners, and contractors to discuss trends, challenges, and opportunities in the industry.
Attendees will gain insights from global cold chain colleagues, data and advice from consultants and analysts, and discussions with politicians and officials about policy affecting the industry. A dedicated Cold Chain Expo will showcase technologies designed to improve operational efficiency and business performance, while the Cold Chain Café will host roundtable discussions.

“We are looking forward to welcoming the European cold chain to Düsseldorf in March 2026 for three days of discussion, connection, and learning,” Julie Hanson, GCCA director for Europe, stated. “This is a time of change for temperature-controlled logistics around the world, and businesses operating in Europe are presented with a unique set of challenges and opportunities. Gathering together to explore how to navigate this time of transition, and to consider where transformation can create new opportunities, is of high value for cold chain businesses and for the resilience of our global food supply chain.”
