The Logistics Hall of Fame documents outstanding milestones and personalities in logistics. The key criterion for induction is that an achievement has sustainably advanced logistics beyond the boundaries of one's own company.
By decision of the Council, 2026 will mark the first time in ten years that multiple personalities will be inducted into the Logistics Hall of Fame simultaneously. This reflects the organization's recognition of the many defining personalities and achievements that have had a lasting impact on the industry over the years.
The final decision is made by an independent jury of approximately 70 internationally renowned experts from business, academia, politics, and the media. The ceremonial induction into the Logistics Hall of Fame takes place as part of the annual gala reception at the Vienna Hofburg.
