BIFAlink What’s new at Multimodal 2020


This year’s Multimodal exhibition will feature some new initiatives designed to provide added value for freight forwarders


Multimodal 2020 celebrates 13 years of putting shippers, retailers, manufacturers, wholesalers, importers and exporters in front of exhibitors who offer the latest logistics and supply chain solutions. Multimodal is firmly established as the UK,


Ireland and Northern Europe’s premier freight transport, logistics and supply chain management event. It will be attended by decision-makers from


companies operating within all areas of logistics: 3PLs, BCOs, shipping lines, logistics providers, hauliers, pallet networks, ports and warehouse owners. It offers a unique opportunity to make valuable face-to-face contact with new prospects and existing companies. Year-on-year, shippers and cargo owners


attend to improve their businesses by finding ways of moving their products more efficiently and by meeting new suppliers. Brand new initiatives for Multimodal 2020:


Match-making service to connect shippers – the VIP visitors – to each and other and to exhibitors The introduction of a bespoke match-making service to connect shippers to each other and to exhibitors. This will be a closed programme available only to exhibitors and to bona fide VIP visitors, to add real value to standholders and sponsors.


Bespoke seminar content reflecting vertical markets The revamped conference programme will feature a host of vertical half-day seminars that reflect shipper interests. These free-of-charge


January 2020


sessions will also allow suppliers to these sectors to participate in lively debate.


Dedicated Freight Forwarders’ Village with BIFA logpods A new attraction at Multimodal 2020 will be BIFA’s Freight Forwarders’ Village, designed to provide a marketplace for BIFA Members and Associate Members to showcase the products and services they offer in a simple and cost-effective way. BIFA members should contact robert.jervis@clarionevents.com to book a LogPod.


Lastly, there are further upgrades to the day


three offering that addresses training, recruitment and the skills gap, which are major threats to the success of many companies. There will be a major focus on apprenticeships, training, re/upskilling, education and recruitment, with seminars and initiatives specific to this sector.
