CNS Partnership Conference 2024: Resilience Through Agility!

The upcoming CNS Partnership Conference, scheduled for April 14-16, 2024, will center around the theme of “Resilience Through Agility: Partnering for a Changing World.” The event will take place at the Gaylord Resort & Convention Center in Dallas Fort Worth, Texas and is expected to bring together approximately 700 stakeholders and representatives from various sectors of the air cargo industry.

Keynote speakers at the conference will include Andres Bianchi, CEO of LATAM Cargo, and Stephanie Abeler, Vice President of the Americas Region at Lufthansa Cargo. Plenary sessions will cover topics such as the state of the industry, sustainability in the cargo sector, and the roadmap to digital transformation.

The Innovation Stage, sponsored by Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, will feature discussions on a range of important issues, including the role of women in air cargo, the value of certification, handling dangerous goods, workforce development in the cargo industry, and the importance of warehouse space at airports.

Air cargo has played a crucial role in global socio-economic development, particularly during times of crisis such as the Covid-19 pandemic. The sector has been instrumental in delivering medical supplies, vaccines, and humanitarian aid to areas in need, as well as providing a reliable alternative to disrupted shipping lanes.

In 2023, air cargo transported 58 million tonnes of goods, accounting for roughly 35% of the value of internationally traded goods. This not only supports economic growth and job creation but also contributes to achieving UN Sustainable Development Goals, including poverty reduction and inclusive economic progress.

As air cargo volumes return to pre-pandemic levels, the focus now is on ensuring sustainable growth that is efficient and safe. Those interested in attending the CNS Partnership Conference can register by visiting the provided link.
