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.

CLN recently concluded another successful annual meeting last May 26 - 30, 2009. The 7th annual meeting of the group was designed to provide a more intimate environment for the members to spend quality time with each other. CLN highly believes that with more intimate relationships and partnerships, the networks are capable in developing more opportunities.

On behalf of CLN we thank you to all the SeaConsol Network members who have attended and supported the 7th Annual Meeting that was held last May 26 - 31, 2009 at the Sheraton Saigon Hotel & Towers in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

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!

To achieve SCN'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
