The event, which will take place from 5-6 March at the Atlantis Hotel on The Palm, will bring together up to 700 top industry experts under the title 'Connectivity, Resilience and Sustainability in Global Supply Chains', under the patronage of H. H Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority - CEO and Founder of the Emirates Group, who will be joined by the FIATA President and Director General as high-level participants and speakers.
The Red Sea situation is unfolding at the heart of FIATA RAME, and FIATA thus strives to ensure that its members stay informed so as to anticipate the disruption going forward, and to help ensure the continued flow of goods in such uncertain times.
FIATA Director General Stéphane Graber emphasised "In this vein, FIATA will convene its Region Africa and Middle East delegates, and the general freight forwarding community in the region, in this opportunity to explore how to build a more resilient supply chain in view of the ongoing crises in the Middle East."
Ms Nadia Abdul Aziz, President of the hosting Association 'National Association of Freight and Logistics' in the United Arab Emirates, said of the meeting's importance: "The UAE is positioned as a distribution and logistics hub for Oman, Qatar, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Bahrain, the CIS, sub-continent, and Africa. The conference will offer a platform for the global community to appreciate the logistics-related investment opportunities within the United Arab Emirates, the GCC. The stakeholders will showcase their latest services for this sector which can also support the businesses to grow and be more efficient." She closed with encouragement, saying "This year will see sustained revenue growth and the sector outperform pre-COVID levels."
