Our third meeting was a great success, as it brought together professional agents from different regions and specialties to network, exchange ideas, and generate new business opportunities. The meeting was part of the annual conference organized by AFBN, the first African network of independent freight forwarders. These conferences offer unique benefits and business opportunities that only face-to-face meetings can achieve, such as conducting up to 40 pre-arranged meetings with potential partners from around the world in a single day. The meeting also showcased the latest trends and developments in the freight forwarding industry. The event demonstrated the importance of holding this conference every year, as it fosters collaboration, innovation, and growth among freight forwarding companies.
