WELCOME TO OUR 25th ANNIVERSARY ANNUAL CONFERENCE | WCA WORLDWIDE


We are delighted to finally welcome you all to the WCA Worldwide Conference after a frustrating three-year break enforced by Covid. The conference returns to Singapore with a bang as not only the largest logistics networking conference ever held, but will also celebrate 25 years of WCAworld, following its formation in 1998.

We fully anticipate record attendance numbers as members take the opportunity to re-connect with existing partners and identify new business enabling you to supercharge your businesses growth and development. It is, quite simply, the most productive and important networking event of the year.

To celebrate the 25th Anniversary we will be hosting a range of special social networking events alongside the vital One-on-One business meetings that generate tens of millions of dollars in new business each year. With well in excess of 3,000 members in attendance from over 180 countries, you will be able to expand your company’s visibility, reach new markets and raise company awareness on a global scale.

You can also save weeks of travel time and thousands of dollars in travel expenses by pre-booking your meetings with fellow agents from around the world. Each delegate has the opportunity to conduct more business at the WCA Worldwide Conference than can be achieved in months of business travel.

We cannot wait to welcome you all to Singapore for what will be a spectacular and unmissable conference and show the world that the independent forwarding sector has emerged from Covid stronger, better and more valuable to the global supply chain than ever before.
