SAAFF CONGRESS AUGUST

Transcription

1 2018 SPONSORSHIP & EXHIBITION PROSPECTUS The most comprehensive and influential business platform for the freight forwarding and logistics sector in Southern Africa. The vision of SAAFF is to be the leading authority in the freight forwarding industry, achieving local, regional, and international recognition. SAAFF 2018, taking place August, offers an industry-representative Congress and exhibition opportunity with a focus on the future and the younger generation of international trade facilitators. The Congress will furthermore be distinguished by the spectre of the FIATA World Congress that will take place at the same venue in 2019 and the opportunity it presents for the South African freight forwarding industry to showcase and promote the advanced industry infrastructure and capabilities underpinning its enviable international reputation. The Congress serves to bring together the industry sectors and the decision makers, influencers, and role players that organisations can interact with, which will in turn fulfil the SAAFF mission: to lead strategic initiatives that deliver successful outcomes through excellence in service delivery, research, information, analysis, dissemination, and advocacy. This prospectus outlines a host of opportunities offered by the Congress to creatively and effectively market, promote and expose your brand, services, offerings and products to an engaged and focused industry audience.
