Business Exchange Programs and free face-to-face meetings with reputable forwarders October 27-30, 2009|The Venetian Macao

The Freight Summit 2009 is the only event to consolidate multiple alliances under one roof to come up with a large attendance of strong independent forwards from all over the world. At its second year, an attendance of 300-400 strong forwarders (alliance and non alliance forwarders) is expected.

The current economic outlook casts a shadow on the 2009 business environment. Times are tough and the best way for forwarders to survive is to set resilient strategies to adapt to current market conditions by coming closer with current partners while developing new partnerships with new markets.

More and more companies are preserving their resources and cutting costs in every way, yet there are still opportunities to be found!

The Freight Summit is especially designed to help you with increased business opportunities while saving on 2009’s travel expenses. The beauty of TFS is that you can invite your partners (since we are an open event – no membership required) to meet you, you can meet with likeminded reputable forwarders face-to-face and explore new alliances by visiting their booths.

Participation fees at as low as USD199.00 for the full 2.5 days event give you full access to the venue and free face-to-face meeting scheduler.

To achieve ACN's goal to provide all members the capability to communicate and process orders under 1 communications and track and trace software, Combined Logistics Networks signed off a service level agreement with a software company based in Australia named Pangaea effective April 1, 2006.

This will bring us in par with the capabilities of global outfits that are currently miles ahead of us in the field of IT, and have eaten successfully into the independent forwarders market successfully. read more

With the rapid expansion of our alliances - we have decided to brand it as a web of networks named the COMBINED LOGISTICS NETWORKS or CLN. From 200 freight forwarders, CLN more than 400 screened members from the four different logistics alliances. This gives our entire membership pool the chance to develop new business contacts around the world.
