A warmest thank you for all ACN members who have supported The Freight Summit event held last September 15-19 at the Venetian Macao Resort Hotel.

THE FREIGHT SUMMIT is pleased to announce that we intend to hold our next event in October of 2009 at The Venetian Macao again, due to overwhelming feedback on the choice of venue. We are currently finalizing our arrangements with the hotel and shall keep you informed accordingly.

CLN recently concluded another successful annual meeting in KUL on May 20-24, 2008. The 6th conference of the group was designed to provide a more intimate environment for the members to spend quality time with each other. It is the group's first year to purely focus on members and only serious observers that have clear intentions to join the network were invited. CLN highly believes that with more intimate relationships and partnerships, the networks are capable in developing more opportunities.

True to its aim of having a strong and competitive alliance, Combined Logistics Networks' new initiative is focused on visiting members and seeking new members from regions that are not yet represented in the networks.

Countries we have visited:
- Singapore
- Indonesia

We will keep you posted where CLN's next stop will be!

Part of Alliance Development is the increase of projects and introduction of new added value services.

We are proud to announce the improved Safety Net Program of Airconsol Network that guarantees the following benefits:

a. Secured payments between members
b. Further Monitoring of payment habits and reporting to the membership pool.
c. Facilitation of disputes if contractual.
d. Guarantee of defaulting members (non-payment due to inability to pay).
e. Higher guaranteed receivables from USD 10,000 - USD 20,000.
f. Covered security program between paid ACN members.
g. More extensive screening of members to join the pool.

There is nothing to worry doing business within the paid members of Airconsol Network.

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.
