Success in Sunshine state

Over the course of four days, the International Air Community descended on Miami, with more than 3,500 delegates from more than 80 countries gathering in exhibition and communication sessions.

“The International Air Shipping Association (Tiaca) is the World Air Cargo Industry Association. Our goal is to represent all sectors of the air freight industry,” said Glenn Hughes, general manager of Tiaca.

“While the attendees were wandering at this event, they could see airlines, shipping charges, truck transport companies, IT suppliers, equipment and airports manufacturers – everyone was here.

“One of the most important things for us is that we wanted this event to be through the industry, for industry, so we created an environment that enables people to do commercial work, communicate, redistribute themselves with former business partners and meet future business partners.”

“If you get to the Tiaaca event, you have many people you meet, but if you are looking for content or to learn something, we also have the conference program. It is the two sides together that makes this event very successful,” explained by Stephen Pullmans, president of Tiaca.

Issue address

At the heart of this event, there was a program dedicated to conversations and discussions, and it covers the relevant topics to a large extent in the industry today, designed to be exciting and difficult.

“We have talked about the way we were able to respond to the increase in demand for e -commerce, without sacrificing long -term relationships with traditional customers in the long run,” Hughes explained.

“On the Digital Committee, we looked at innovation and converted to technology that will come tomorrow. We also conducted great discussions about the airport’s empowerment and the airport’s cooperative environments because the airports are very necessary to maintain this industry at the forefront of what is happening.”

Gather people together

In addition to serious discussions about airports, organizational and commercial issues, digital innovation, sustainability, industrial expectations, and more, the attendees also had an opportunity to communicate with golf, enjoy the yoga sunrise sessions, or attend evening receptions, and get to know the value of delivery of networks that can lead to life -life -life relationships.

“When you wander, the thing that I hate is the idea of ​​silence. I want to hear people who participate. I want to hear people again shaking hands and saying,” Great, I love to work with you. “I want to hear people who say things like” I really didn’t think about it “or” this is a great perspective “because it means that the industry is involved.

“In the end, we were aiming to make this event more than just an exhibition – it’s an experiment,” Hughes stated.

“We are very happy that this event has put such a high tape of future air freight forums,” Polmans added.

“I must thank the Tiaaca: Glyn, Kenneth, Rachel, Riley and MGME team because the day today did a great job in achieving this.

“We look forward to continuing to grow and develop this brand as a major global event for this industry.”
