WCA World schedules virtual networking conferences for late 2020

Jul 20, 2020

The freight forwarding network has scheduled three events for WCA and its two associated networks over the coming months

WCA World, the global networking giant with more than 10,000 independent and regional cargo agents in 190+ countries, has announced a slate of upcoming virtual conferences for the fourth quarter of this year.

Having already successfully completed its initial online meeting in June for members of Global Affinity Alliance, WCA World is scheduling three additional such events for WCA and its two associated networks, Lognet Global and Elite Global Logistics Network (EGLN).

Between October 12th to 15th, 2020, several hundred member-agents of Lognet Global will convene for four-days of face-to-face onscreen networking sessions, while EGLN will give its members the same opportunity from the 20th till the 23rd of October.

The meetings will be conducted utilizing WCA’s own proprietary online conferencing software system, leveraging WCA World’s expertise in organizing networking events of all sizes, from large-scale conferences of several thousand participants to more intimate gatherings of 100+ delegates.

“The Lognet and EGLN digital events will be a prelude to WCA’s first-ever virtual congress, scheduled for November 16-20,” explained WCA World Founder/Chairman, David Yokeum.

“Our annual WCA Conference Week had become internationally famous as the world’s largest networking event for independent and regional freight forwarders.

“Although WCA agents obviously prefer to get together live and in-person, they have loudly and clearly expressed their need to remain in close contact with their network partners via WCA’s digital platform, despite the global pandemic we are all coping with,” continued Yokeum.

WCA World is the most powerful group of logistics networks worldwide. Now incorporating EGLN, Lognet and GAA, the combined logistics might of the WCA World membership exceeds that of even the world’s largest multinational freight forwarders.
