Relive the highlights of the CLN 22nd Annual Partnership Meeting in vibrant Bangkok, Thailand! In collaboration with Northstar Forwarders Alliance and Magenta Logistics Network, the event brought together 312 freight forwarders representing over 60 countries, a truly global celebration of connection and collaboration!
We teed off our conference with a fantastic start at the CLN Fellowship Golf Game, held at the scenic Ekachai Golf Club in Bangkok, Thailand! A big round of applause to our winning trio, Mariano Figueroa of Silver Freight Logistics SRL (Argentina), Javier Novo of Steelmar Logistics SL (Spain), and Rami Orola of Leman Oy (Finland). These gentlemen brought their A-game and swung their way straight to victory!
CLN, together with Magenta Logistics Network and Northstar Forwarders Alliance, proudly welcomed global delegates at the United Nations-themed Welcome Cocktail & Opening Ceremony sponsored by CT Freight. Delegates came dressed in beautiful national costumes and shared wines from their countries, creating the perfect atmosphere for new friendships and global bonding at our Around the Bottle gathering.
This year’s agenda celebrates connection, commitment, and community featuring vital Network Management Updates, an interactive Newbie Open Mic, and spotlight Presentations from our valued sponsors. We proudly celebrated long-term partnerships with Loyalty Awards presented to the following members:
The program concluded with an inspiring Keynote Presentation by Fabian Ae and a thought-provoking Panel Discussion with industry leaders. We also shared a moving video from Polimex Forwarding Corp., showcasing their humanitarian relief efforts in response to the 2024 floods in Poland, an incredible act of solidarity and compassion within our network.
At the core of the conference were the Face-to-Face Meetings, the true heartbeat of CLN. Over 300 freight forwarders from CLN, NORTHSTAR & MAGENTA gathered from around the world, not just to talk business, but to build real, lasting relationships. From new connections to familiar faces, these moments went beyond transactions, because at CLN, friendship is part of the deal.
The CLN Sunset Cruise, generously sponsored by ILG International Logistic Gateway GMBH, delivered an unforgettable evening along the enchanting Chao Phraya River. Guests enjoyed breathtaking views, delicious cuisine, and refreshing drinks as the sun set over Bangkok. The night continued with a lively Beer Drinking Competition and wrapped up with an energetic After Party at Sin Rooftop Bar, hosted by Northstar Forwarders Alliance. It was truly a night to remember.
What better way to wrap up an incredible week than with the CLN Free Flow Beer, proudly sponsored by International Cargo Express, serving up ICE-cold beers and good vibes all around! It was the perfect finale to celebrate the connections, collaborations, and friendships built throughout the conference.
Huge thanks to all our amazing delegates for making the CLN 22nd Annual Partnership Meeting truly unforgettable. Until next year, see you again soon!
