This year, the automotive supply chain world gathered in Detroit for one of the most influential events in the industry — the Automotive Logistics & Supply Chain Global Conference (ALSC Global). Celebrating its 25th anniversary, the conference brought together the biggest names in automotive manufacturing, technology, and logistics to discuss the future of mobility, electrification, and global transport networks.

Hosted at the St. John’s Resort in Plymouth, Michigan, the event filled every corner of the resort’s elegant halls with vibrant displays, live panels, and networking sessions. The resort’s mix of classic architecture and modernized ballrooms provided the perfect backdrop for an event designed to celebrate innovation and industry evolution.

A Global Stage for Innovation

Over the course of several days, hundreds of executives, supply-chain strategists, and logistics partners from around the world convened to share insights on sustainability, automation, and digital transformation. With major sponsors and participants including Ryder, DSV, and other global logistics leaders, ALSC Global 2025 showcased just how interconnected the automotive ecosystem has become.

From morning panel discussions to evening networking receptions, the conference pulsed with energy — every conversation, every session, every handshake building toward a more connected global supply chain.

Blue Smoke Creative Behind the Lens

Blue Smoke Creative was on site throughout the conference, capturing the event’s atmosphere from every angle — the expansive stage setups, the dynamic lighting design, the packed breakout rooms, and the candid interactions that bring conferences like this to life.

While our initial role focused on media coverage for one of the event’s production partners, our scope naturally expanded as we documented the story of the event itself — the people, the technology, and the emotion behind the conversations shaping the next generation of logistics.

Our goal with every conference we photograph and film is simple: to create visuals that feel alive. Every wide shot of the venue, every keynote moment under the lights, and every spontaneous laugh between attendees helps tell a story that extends long after the event ends.

A Setting Built for Connection

Set within the St. John’s Resort — a property known for its grand chandeliers, vaulted ceilings, and open glass atriums — ALSC Global made full use of the space. The combination of elegant interior design and immersive lighting installations helped transform the venue into a modern hub of collaboration and creativity.

It’s a space that mirrors the automotive logistics industry itself: rooted in tradition, yet continuously reinventing how the world moves.

Looking Ahead

BSC is proud to have played a part in documenting this milestone year for ALSC Global. Events of this scale are where industries evolve and where brands define their visual identity. For us, the challenge — and reward — lies in translating that energy into timeless imagery and film.

Whether it’s a global conference, a corporate summit, or a multi-day industry showcase, our mission remains the same: to help organizations preserve and amplify their most meaningful moments.
