The ACE 2023 networking and conference event is set to happen next week at the W Hotel Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, on 4-6 December.

The 3-day event will gather thought leaders from across the air cargo industry to discuss the challenges and opportunities in time-critical logistics.

Panel discussions during the conference, sponsored by online marketplace Airblox, will address the evolving role of GSSAs, as well as digital booking, and e-commerce logistics ecosystems.

Speakers at the ‘by-invitation-only’ event will include Elodie Berthonneau from Qatar Airways Cargo, Turhan Özen from Turkish Cargo, Turgut Erkeskin, from the International Federation of Freight Forwarder Associations (FIATA), and Dirk Goovaerts from Swissport.

ACE 2023 will offer a range of networking opportunities as well as a conference programme with keynote speeches, workshops, and panels. Organisers have also introduced an event app to enable pre-registering for face-to-face meetings.

“It is a fantastic opportunity to connect, negotiate, and trade in person and we are looking forward to welcoming delegates from across the globe,” said Christos Spyrou, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of ACE co-organizer, Air Cargo Plus.

ACE is organised by Air Cargo Plus and Change Horizon and is supported by The International Air Cargo Association (TIACA), FIATA, Pharma.Aero, Neutral Air Partner, and Women in Aviation and Logistics (WAL), and Meantime Communications.
