The global landscape of aviation and logistics is undergoing a profound shift eastwards. This transformation is being accelerated by continued production growth across Asia and the rapid expansion of logistics hubs in the Middle East, strengthening vital supply chain links between Asia, Africa, Europe, and North America.
In this evolving environment, maritime ports across the region are collaborating closely with airport partners to develop innovative multimodal solutions. These initiatives are guided by the industry’s core values: speed, security, safety, efficiency, and excellence in supply chain delivery.
Recognizing these dynamics, the TIACA Board has decided to transform the Air Cargo Forum (ACF)—traditionally held every two years at its permanent home in Miami—into an annual global gathering. This premier event brings together supply chain professionals, world-class solution providers, and leading industry thinkers and influencers.
Following an extensive review of numerous exceptional venues across the Middle East, the TIACA Board has selected Abu Dhabi as the second permanent location for the now annual Air Cargo Forum.
The ACF in Abu Dhabi promises to deliver a unique experience in the region. Highlights of the inaugural edition include the Etihad Golf Cup, played on a stunning beachside links course, yoga and wellness sessions, exclusive networking events on the beach, and a private evening at the thrilling Ferrari World.
This vibrant setting will complement the event’s proven formula: world-class exhibitors, thought-provoking discussions led by industry leaders, and engaging surprises that set ACF apart.
The conference agenda is designed to address the industry’s most pressing topics and opportunities. Key features include:
In addition, trade challenges, capacity shifts, and an increasingly complex regulatory environment will be central themes across the speaker and panel lineups.
The much-praised SPOTLIGHT stage will also return, offering deeper insights into industry success stories and creating a platform for inspiration and shared learning.
The TIACA Air Cargo Forum continues to serve as the annual reunion for the global air cargo and logistics community. This year, the event will take place from 3–6 November at the Etihad Arena, Yas Island, Abu Dhabi.
With strong international participation expected, hotel blocks are limited. Participants are encouraged to secure their accommodations early to ensure their place at this landmark gathering.
