Manifest is an annual supply chain and logistics technology conference and expo drawing 8,500+ attendees, 400+ speakers and a large startup/investor contingent across every transport mode. Within it sits the Cold Chain Experience, a dedicated two-day pavilion and session track spanning food and grocery logistics, life sciences and pharmaceutical supply chains, and temperature-controlled transportation. The 2027 edition runs 8-10 February at The Venetian in Las Vegas.
The cold chain program is where large shippers, cold-storage operators and temperature-controlled carriers meet the startup and venture-capital side backing next-generation monitoring, last-mile and cold-storage technology. Sessions target cold-last-mile loss and spoilage reduction, pharma supply chain resilience and transparency, and cold-storage and port infrastructure investment. It functions as a deal and partnership venue rather than a standards or regulatory forum.
Fortune 500 supply chain executives, shippers and logistics service providers sit alongside cold-storage operators, pharma and life-sciences supply chain leaders, and food retailers, plus a heavy layer of startups and venture investors. Seniority skews senior, with VPs, heads of supply chain and founders. Company types span carriers, 3PLs, cold-storage operators, technology vendors and CPG and pharma shippers.
