Top Transport Saint-Malo: a gamble that's about to pay off

Less than two months before its opening, the first Saint-Malo edition of Top Transport, the leading B2B event for the transport and logistics sector, is already almost fully booked. The exhibition space is completely reserved, and nearly 120 shippers are expected. This edition, firmly rooted in current challenges, will have the central theme: "Staying the course, shippers and carriers: building continuity under constraints."

For the first time, the leading business event in the transport sector will be held on June 10th and 11th at the Palais du Grand Large and the Quai Saint-Malo. This is a bold move for Comexposium One to One, the event organizer. Two months before its launch, Top Transport Saint-Malo is shaping up to be a resounding success. More than 60 exhibitors have confirmed their attendance: primarily carriers, but also logistics providers, consulting firms, software publishers, and transport infrastructure companies, including Atalian Global Services, DSV, Heppner, Groupe Deslog , Les Transporteurs, Normandie Logistique, Oretec, Groupe Combronde, Solano, and Vos Logistics . On the shippers' side, 120 decision-makers have already confirmed their attendance – 70% of whom have never participated in Top Transport before – to meet their future transport and logistics partners. Among them are major clients: Aéroports de Paris (ADP) - Orly, Bonduelle, Brasserie Kronenbourg, Groupe Rocher, Kiabi, Lacoste, Lactalis, Petit Navire, Renault Group, Savencia …

This first edition in Saint-Malo will open in a particularly tense context, notably marked by strong pressure on diesel prices. This context is bringing industry professionals together for a unifying event. "There is a real need for industry professionals to exchange ideas and find solutions to the many problems the sector is facing: pressure on fuel prices, declining consumption, the attractiveness of the jobs..." explains Jérôme Letu-Montois, director of Top Transport. " In this period of uncertainty, the shipper-carrier relationship must be strengthened: everyone needs visibility, continuity, and reliable partners." Top Transport Saint-Malo will play this catalytic role through business meetings, networking opportunities, and inspiring conferences, to help professionals stay on course and find solutions.

A comprehensive program to address the immediate and long-term challenges of transportation

Wednesday, June 10, 2026
Starting at 9 a.m., the opening plenary session will unveil the 2026 edition of the AUTF Shippers Barometer – the Association of Freight Transport Users – which analyzes trends in road transport. A true benchmark tool for the entire industry (service providers, public authorities, infrastructure managers, and other stakeholders), these barometers, produced by the association for over 10 years, take the pulse of the transport market and highlight the major challenges facing the sector. The morning of June 10 will continue with a round table by AETL - the Association of Actors, Pupils and Students in Transport and Logistics - dedicated to the constraints and levers of transformation linked to the extension of the EU emissions trading system (ETS2), which will come into force from 2028. It will also give way to a practical legal workshop led by Victoire Revenaz, partner lawyer at the firm Lexline , on the exercise of the right of retention of goods, as well as a workshop on the digitalization of the sector moderated by the media Voxlog , and a round table by Volvo Trucks dedicated to the electrification of transport flows.

The morning of the second day will also feature three presentations: a roundtable discussion by the Food Bank on the role of food supply as a lever of solidarity. Following the conference , a second legal workshop—again led by Victoire Revenaz—will focus on contract management in the context of geopolitical conflicts. Finally, Antoine Coupé, Business Development Manager at Hellmann Worldwide Logistics , will present a forward-looking analysis of transportation in 2072. Author of the thesis "Around the World in 2072: A Dystopia Inspired by Jules Verne to Rethink the Transportation of Tomorrow," which won two awards at the AETL's Best Thesis Competition and will soon be published by CELSE, he will engage the audience in a performance where Jules Verne himself will confront his vision of the future of transportation with our times. A book signing for Antoine Coupé's thesis will be held after the conference. This vision of the future of transportation and innovations in mobility will also be shared by Marion Choppin , co-founder of Truckly , who will speak at the close of this second morning of conferences. The afternoon of June 11 will be dedicated to experiential activities with two "Off-Site" events: a visit to the port of Saint-Malo and an activity at the Crêpe Workshop, with demonstration and tasting, inviting Top Transport participants to exchange ideas in a different way!

“Top Transport Saint-Malo illustrates more than ever the need for professionals in the sector to meet, exchange ideas and build concrete solutions together in the face of the profound transformations in transport and logistics. At a time when stakeholders are seeking both stability and new opportunities, our ambition is to offer a useful, operational and unifying space for dialogue,” concludes Jérôme Letu-Montois, director of Top Transport.
