Event logistics

Polished concepts for major events
Huge events watched around the world, such as the World Cup or Formula 1, require elaborate logistics support that ensures that the event runs smoothly and efficiently. This requires, most of all, speed and perfection - just like on the racetracks of the world. The work of logisticians begins long before the checkered flag is waved and ends long afterward - 24/7.

The special characteristics of event logistics
Event logistics is considered logistics related to major public events like concerts, sporting contests and trade fairs.
The major challenges include providing the necessary equipment and material and erecting it on time. This requires demanding management of large numbers of movements of material, vehicles and people in a short period of time.
Increasing numbers of logistics-service providers offer tailored solutions for major events. DHL Global Forwarding, for instance, has developed a concept for racing that integrates all parties who play a role at a racing series or event. No matter whether it is a race car, motor home, kitchen, VIP tents, rain tires or TV equipment - everything is transported punctually and reliably to the destination by a single source.
The range of services for event logistics also includes comprehensive logistics consultation in the planning phase. In order to ensure a smooth, on-time event, individual transport and packing concepts must also be developed. Finally, the logistics-service provider’s workers must be at the site before, during and after the event.
