The Northstar Florida – WMS & Robotics Innovation Summit

The logistics networking cruise series: WMS & Robotics innovation summit, held aboard a four-deck mega yacht in South Florida.

Agenda:
10:30 AM to 1:30 PM – Pre-event breakfast: Roundtable discussions over a lavish breakfast. Warehouse operators and 3PLs sit with their own peers and talk through the same daily problems. No pitch fest.
4:30 PM to 5:30 PM – VIP speed networking: Skip the searching. You are matched in advance with providers that fit what your operation needs, so you board early and sit down one-on-one with the right companies. 6 meetings, 5 minutes each.
5:30 PM to 6:00 PM – Standard boarding: The buffet dinner, open bar and top-deck cigar lounge are open the moment you step on.
6:00 PM to 9:30 PM – Leave the dock: Watch the sunset settle in from the four-deck mega yacht. On the way: two panels, Automation & Robotics and Solving Warehouse Struggles with AI, and conversations until back at the dock at 9:30 PM.

6:00 PM – Leave the dock
6:45 to 7:30 PM – Automation & Robotics panel (35 minutes of discussion, followed by 10 minutes of Q&A)

Why a boat: An intimate setting where you have the time to get to know each other and build real business connections, not a mega exhibit where you collect promo items and move on.
