WELCOME TO DUBAI FOR THE 14th ANNUAL CONFERENCE | WCA WORLDWIDE


The largest and most important logistics networking event of the year returns in February 2025 to the exciting, dynamic and fast-growing city of Dubai, UAE. The record-breaking event held at the same location in 2024 attracted over 4,500 freight forwarders from 179 countries and we expect the 2025 conference exceed this attendance with demand for delegate places and meeting booths at record levels.

One of the world’s major travel and logistics hubs, Dubai has cemented its place as a hugely desirable location for both business and pleasure. With ultra-modern conference and exhibition facilities, a fantastic range of hotels and its famed reputation for five-star hospitality, this is one conference that certainly is not to be missed.

Alongside the renowned One-on-One meetings, a whole range of social networking events are planned, making use of Dubai’s superb facilities and fantastic February weather. Members will be able to re-connect with existing partners and identify many new business opportunities, enabling you to supercharge your businesses growth and development.

The attendance will include delegates from over 180 countries, enabling you 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.

A range of sponsorship and meeting booth options will be made available to all members providing a perfect platform to raise your company’s profile further and showcase your services in front of thousands of potential partners.

The excitement and anticipation among members is rapidly building for what will be a spectacular and unmissable conference, and the WCAworld team cannot wait to welcome you all in Dubai.
