CARGO FORUM 2020
VIRTUAL CONNECT
The global economy and the aviation business in particular is going through an unprecedented crisis in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. It has become obvious that the “new normal” created by the pandemic is going to have long term effects on all aspects of human endeavour and life and businesses are going to be never the same as it used to be.
Despite the continued movement of air freight during this crisis, the future remain uncertain for most of the players in the airline industry. As “#Contactless” has become the new norm and need of the hour, the adoption of digital technologies has become faster across many industries. Digital technologies are evolving faster to provide a “digital eco-system” of new solutions and tools that offer seamless digital connectivity across key stakeholders in the air freight business offering a ray of hope for faster adoption of digital solutions that aid in faster recovery of air freight business
Cargo Forum 2020 takes a deep dive at the challenges that the global air cargo industry is facing today and discusses the key issues as well as solutions that businesses around the world can consider while they adapt to the "new normal" that is evolving and crystalizing fast.
The event will span across 7 weeks with each week focusing on a specific theme that is relevant to the air freight industry today and into the new normal that we are going through. Panel discussions focus on the “road-to-recovery” aspects from an executive leadership perspective and move into digital solutions that help air cargo businesses to connect and collaborate digitally for faster freight as well as the increasing role of analytics in air cargo.
We will also be showcasing the on-going product investments that will aid you better your business and help you emerge stronger thorough innovation and digitalization.
