Black Coffee at the Cutting Edge: Our Experience at MODEX 2026

This past week, The Black Coffee Company had the privilege of being part of MODEX 2026, one of the most innovative supply chain and logistics conferences in the world, hosted right here at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia.

MODEX brings together some of the most exciting and cutting edge technology companies from around the globe, all under one roof, all pushing the boundaries of what is possible in logistics, fulfillment, and operations. Being in that room was energizing. Watching the future of global commerce take shape in real time was a reminder of exactly why we do what we do.

Our coffee cart was prominently featured throughout the conference, fueling conversations, connections, and ideas at every turn. And we were especially honored to be given a special spotlight inside the booth of Ocado Intelligent Automation, a global technology leader and a company doing extraordinary things.

Ocado Intelligent Automation is a global technology developer and operator delivering some of the world’s most advanced fulfillment operations, software, hardware, and processes at scale. As part of Ocado Group, an organization with over 20 years of experience developing and operating the Ocado Smart Platform, they have built the world’s leading ecommerce, fulfillment, and logistics solution for online grocery retail. Their work extends far beyond grocery, bringing industry leading automation solutions to some of the most demanding and high throughput environments in the world. We are grateful for their partnership and proud to have shared their space.

But if I am being honest, what moved me most about this week was watching our team.

As CEO and Co-Founder of The Black Coffee Company, my role is to see around corners. To develop the vision, build the strategy, and then lock arms with our team to make it real. Every new industry we enter, every new room we walk into that was not designed with us in mind, every new relationship we build in spaces reshaping the global economy, that is the mission in motion.

What we are doing at Black Coffee is bigger than coffee. We are leveraging every experience, every network, and every lesson this journey has taught us to compete and thrive at the highest levels. Watching our team rise to new challenges, grow into new spaces, and show up with excellence in a room full of global technology leaders was one of the most gratifying moments I have had as a founder.

We are growing. We are scaling. And we are just getting started.

Thank you to MODEX organizers, the entire Ocado Intelligent Automation team, and the Georgia World Congress Center staff for the love, the partnership, and the platform. We do not take it lightly.
