Agenda

*This schedule is subject to change.

Cold Storage is evolving. This conference is built for what’s next.

I.CON Cold Storage 2026 moves beyond traditional panels to deliver a more engaging, deal-focused experience for developers, investors and operators.

Expect candid market perspectives, real-world case studies and practical insights grounded in how projects are actually getting done today. From development and construction to operations and tenant demand, the focus is on execution, not theory.

Just as important, the agenda is designed to maximize what attendees value most: meaningful connections. With dedicated networking time, a curated audience and high-impact social events, you’ll spend less time sitting in sessions and more time building relationships that matter.

If you’re active in cold storage, this is where you’ll gain clarity on the market and connect with the people shaping it.

Real deals. Real insights. Real conversations.
