FIATA 2009

Locatie:    The Centre International de Conférences, 17, rue de Varembé CH-1211 , Geneva, Switzerland
Perioada:  20 Septembrie 2009 - 25 Septembrie 2009

Willkommen Bienvenue Benvenuto Bainvegni Welcome
On behalf of FIATA, I look forward to welcoming delegates from around the world to our 2009 World Congress in Geneva. It has been 26 years since FIATA held a World Congress in Switzerland, and Geneva being the home to many international organizations makes an ideal setting for the global forwarding community to meet.

My involvement with the Air Freight Institute has brought me to Geneva many times in the last 15 years, and I have always found it to be a friendly city and very international. It hosts some 25 international organizations, 200 non-governmental organizations (NGO's) and 150 permanent missions to the United Nations.

Geneva holds a privileged geographical position, situated on the shores of Lake Geneva, between the Alps and the Jura mountains, it is at the central cross-roads of Western Europe. Geneva is a town of Arts and Culture, its numerous museums, exhibitions and libraries are all in easy reach with public transport and our delegates will enjoy free access to Geneva's public transport for the duration of the Congress.

Certainly one of the highlights of this years Congress will be its Main Forum entitled "Emergency Case; How Are International Organizations Acting". High ranking representatives from the International Red Cross, the United Nations Headquarters for Refuges and the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, shall discuss the logistics challenges faced when mobilizing relief supplies to combat human suffering brought on by both natural and man made disasters, Presentations will be followed by an interactive Question and Answer session.

Our Congress provides FIATA members a venue to discuss a multitude of topics focused on the many facets of our industry both global and regional. Issues percolate from the various regional meetings to the relevant technical bodies of FIATA for broader dialogue. The need for a strong central organization to represent freight forwarders and to deal with the global issues facing our industry was never more important than it is today. We can take great pride in the progress that FIATA has made in this regard and the Congress also allows FIATA to foster and maintain regular contact with many regional governmental and nongovernmental organizations, such as UN-ESCAP, UN-ECE, UNCTAD, and our global counterparts, including WCO, WTO, IATA and IRU.

So please mark your calendars to be in Geneva this September 21 to 25th, and take the opportunity to gain a better insight into the challenges our dynamic industry faces, to share thoughts and ideas with your confreres, and meet with current and potential business partners to develop new business relationships and gain a more competitive edge.

Looking forward to seeing you in Geneva!

WILLIAM M. GOTTLIEB
President
