why you should attend the philadelphia industrial & logistics summit

Why This Matters

Greater Philadelphia’s industrial market is entering a more active but increasingly selective phase. The region recorded more than 6.7M SF of leasing in Q1 2026, its strongest first quarter since 2022, but performance continues to vary by submarket, building type and tenant requirement.

At the same time, manufacturers and logistics users are placing greater weight on power, automation, labor and infrastructure. With PhilaPort handling a record 889,268 TEUs in 2025, owners, developers and capital sources are reassessing where to build, invest and lease heading into 2027.

What You’ll Learn

  • Whether Greater Philadelphia’s recent leasing momentum represents a broader industrial recovery or a selective rebound favoring certain submarkets, users and building types

  • Where demand is moving across Philadelphia, Bucks County, Southern New Jersey and the surrounding region, and which locations are best positioned heading into 2027

  • How power capacity, automation, labor availability, transportation access and specialized facility needs are changing industrial site selection

  • What lenders and equity partners now require to finance speculative development, build-to-suit facilities, redevelopment and industrial acquisitions

  • How owners and developers are adjusting rents, concessions, construction assumptions and lease-up strategies as tenants become more selective

  • Which opportunities offer the strongest outlook across large-format logistics, shallow-bay industrial, urban infill, manufacturing, fulfillment and cold-chain facilities

  • How port growth, transportation infrastructure, public incentives and permitting programs are influencing Philadelphia’s ability to compete for major industrial investment

How You’ll Do More Business

This is where Greater Philadelphia’s industrial owners, developers, occupiers, investors, lenders, brokers and public-sector leaders come together to compare what they are seeing across the market and identify where the next opportunities are emerging.

Connect directly with the people selecting sites, underwriting projects, leasing facilities, funding transactions and delivering the infrastructure behind the region’s industrial growth. Whether you are pursuing tenants, capital, land, development partners or new assignments, the conversations in this room will help move business forward.

Who Attends

Industrial owners and developers, investors, lenders, manufacturers, distributors, 3PL and fulfillment operators, cold-chain and food logistics companies, supply-chain and corporate real estate leaders, brokerage professionals, architects, engineers, contractors, land-use attorneys, economic-development officials, transportation and infrastructure leaders, and public-sector decision-makers.

Why You Should Attend

Greater Philadelphia’s industrial market is moving, but opportunity is no longer distributed evenly. Whether you build, finance, acquire, broker, design, deliver, lease, occupy or advise industrial real estate, this event will bring together the market intelligence, operator perspectives and business connections needed to determine where demand is real, which projects can move forward and how to position for the next industrial cycle.
