Another cross-border gathering, where the logistics community unites once again, is set to take place in Vienna, Austria, on the 17th and 18th of September. Vienna serves as an ideal location for international gatherings due to its central European location and excellent transport links. On top of that, the city itself is simply a beautiful place to visit.
At WOF Summit Vienna, you'll be treated to a 360-degree view of the current freight forwarding industry, the latest best practice examples, and forward-looking technological and strategic perspectives. Stakeholders from various sectors, including logistics, technology, retail, and manufacturing, are expected to participate, with over 300 attendees from Europe and overseas. Traditionally, WOF has and open-door policy for „shippers“ and „students“ who can take part for FREE.
This event offers a unique knowledge-sharing opportunity for every participant. Immerse yourself in the cutting-edge discussion with TOP experts from companies like IKEA, Lenovo, RHI Magnesita, Alza.cz, TIMOCOM, Nokia, Rail Cargo Group, Central Cargo North America, Maersk , METRANS, Port of Rotterdam, DHL Express, and many more. Speakers will delve into the industry's hottest logistics topics and issues, such as ESG, compliance in the process of international freight movement, AI and Big data utilization, risk mitigation through multimodality, meeting customer satisfaction in the e-commerce, etc.
The real magic at WOF Summit Vienna lies in the profound networking. Apart from the „old-school“ addressing others at the Networking Bar or the WOF Connect & Charity evening gala; it's the innovative meeting scheduler that changes the game. This handy tool allows all participants to pre-schedule crucial business discussions in advance.
The WOF Connect & Charity gala evening, on the other hand, goes beyond business, providing a charitable opportunity to support a noble cause by joining hands to contribute to the Austrian Cancer Aid (Österreichische Krebshilfe).
"I'm thrilled to invite you to our upcoming event in Vienna this September, following our successful gatherings in Bratislava, Budapest, and Prague. With an international audience and a track record of forging connections across borders, our events are renowned for bringing together global freight forwarders, collaborators, and experts in an interactive and enriching atmosphere." Tomáš Kočner, Managing Director WOF Events
WOF's Vision for the Future:
Beyond Vienna, WOF Events is committed to expanding its global footprint and delivering even more impactful events in the future. We are focused on strengthening our strategic relationships in order to introduce WOF Events in new countries. Soils of the Belgian Port of Antwerp-Bruges and the Egyptian logistics hub in Cairo are currently in the pipeline for the upcoming years. In the long term, we aim to continue to grow our community of freight forwarders from around the world who form a majority of our event participants. We are constantly looking for participants from overseas (Latin America, Asia, etc.) to provide a bigger-picture perspective and more opportunities.
WOF's Progress: From Idea to Realization:
WOF Group represents the culmination of our vision to create a moving platform where international industry professionals from the entire supply chain can come together to exchange knowledge, insights, and ideas. The start was not easy as the pandemic kicked in and postponed the launch of the first event by an entire year. Despite the challenges, we were lucky enough to secure very meaningful connections and individual relationships with industry experts who have supported us enormously. In the second year of the WOF Summit, we experienced a 28% growth in the total number of participants.
Join us on our journey into the post-modern era of forwarding business – where connections, knowledge, and impact converge.
BUILD CONNECTIONS. DO BUSINESS. MAKE FRIENDS.
