Busan Blockbuster Best Produced  Logistics Show of 2022

The essence of the freight forwarding job is being the body and soul of the problem-solver. This particular nature comes to its acme at the FIATA World Congress every year and those who have the opportunity to participate will always return home with more value than they have brought into it.

On 12th of September 2022 Ivan Petrov, President of FIATA, opened the FIATA World Congress in Busan Korea with a message of hope and achievement. His words resonated in the wonderful setup of the Congress venue in Busan, where hundreds of delegates flocked from all over the world, eager to meet again after the long hiatus caused by the pandemic.

     Mr. Petrov mentioned the Reset Program launched in 2019 entering a new chapter with big progress in digitalization, training and development, membership growth, marketing and events. Media report showed an excellent outcome: considerably increased FIATA’s global visibility, and recognition amongst international organizations, NGOs and UN structures at governmental level.

     Ivan unveiled the new FIATA mission statement: “FIATA is the largest Federation and voice of global logistics serving its entire eco-system. It is fostering the knowledge of its members to ensure a sustainable and resilient supply chain.”

One more thing worth mentioning: The South Koreans are head and shoulders better at putting on a grand cargo show than anyone.

Hats off to them for a great ,exciting and wonderful presentation at FIATA World Congress in Busan.

Looking Ahead in 2022 Trade Shows:

The International Air Cargo Association TIACA ACF waits in the wings for early November (8-11) in the Miami Beach pastel paradise.

TIACA looks like the best bet, and for all the world as the big show of the season having added some additional organization numbers along the way.

But we also hear that many show stalwarts, including the any meeting anywhere devotees, saying that while it is great to go face-to-face once again, business spending being what it is, and maybe just as importantly habits post pandemic, may see some show types and other regulars pulling in their trade show ambitions in 2023.

So will  Autumn 2022 be a one and done preview of back to hybrid meetings as a new normal?

We hope not but check this channel as we are on this story every step of the way.

Thanks for listening and for your loyal support.
