story and a fresh industry perspective. She will be followed by Brian Clancy, Managing Director of Logistics Capital & Strategy, returning to the event to deliver a “tune-up” on where the market is heading. Beyond the main stage, the agenda will address issues such as truck


fraud, airport cargo area congestion and regulatory enforcement. Discussions will include collaboration with US policymakers and


insights from a Government Accountability Office study examining cargo truck congestion at airports. International concerns are also firmly on the agenda, reflecting the increasingly global nature of the audience. Technology and automation will again feature prominently with


sessions on AI, data and automation, bringing together both industry practitioners and external experts. “Logistics and freight forwarding is ripe for AI adaptation, but there


are some cautions we need to exercise,” Fried noted. “We want to explore ways to employ AI, ways not to employ AI, and how to keep the people side of the business front and centre while using AI as a tool in the background.”


Networking at the core While the content is a major draw, networking remains central to the AirCargo Conference formula. More than 100 exhibitors are expected, with breakfasts and lunches deliberately scheduled in the exhibition


hall to maximise interaction. “That validates our formula,” Fried says. “We make sure everyone has


an opportunity to get together and network.” For those attending for the first time, organisers are planning a


dedicated new-attendee session on Sunday afternoon, building on a format that proved popular last year. As


airfreight faces continued regulatory, technological and


geopolitical change, the 2026 AirCargo Conference is positioning itself as a forum not just for discussion, but for alignment across the logistics community.
