    The 10th International Urban Freight Conference (I-NUF) is the premier biennial conference that addresses all aspects of city logistics and goods movement in the world's metropolitan areas. The conference brings together an international group of researchers and practitioners in urban freight, supply chains, and logistics who approach the topics from a range of perspectives including engineering, economics, policy and data analysis. It is a showcase for cutting-edge research and dynamic information-sharing and provides a forum for researchers, policy makers, and practitioners to reimagine and guide the future of the industry. I-NUF 2025 will be held April 9-11 at the USC Hotel, across the street from the University of Southern California in downtown Los Angeles.
