Dear Members & Friends,

A very warm welcome to Manila! For our 9th Annual Meeting, Combined Logistics Networks is coming back to the "Pearl of the Orient Seas" - the Philippines.

After a very successful meeting in Macao, alongside The Freight Summit, where we have rolled out new projects for the development of our network, and met with hundreds of others of independent forwarders, our group is now ready to start developing new business and ideas together.

This year, we will again hold an intimate conference which is open to members only and a few selected freight forwarders from the networks' open territories. The alliances under the network will convene in Manila Marriott Hotel on May 24-28, 2011 to discuss current and future trade between members within a secured financial environment.

Fascination is an understatement of the feeling that one gets by visiting Manila, a lively metropolis commanding a magnificent view of the world-famous Manila Bay and its golden sunset. Historic, bustling, awe-inspiring, the “Philippine Cosmopolitan Capital” is a blend of cultures and flavors that offers an endless serving of places to see, sights to behold, and experiences to never forget.

We guarantee that at our 9th Annual Meeting, you will have renewed business and contacts, while having a fascinating time in Manila.

See you in Manila.

Best regards,

Nils Walle
Director
