World Logistics Comes to Bangkok to Develop Mutual Trade

"Bangkok Chosen over Shanghai to Host Aeroceanetwork Asian Meeting"

Bangkok, November 17, 2005 - Delegates representing logistics companies all over the world descend upon Bangkok this week to attend Aeroceanetwork's All Asia Regional Conference. The meeting will be held in the Landmark Hotel, which was chosen for its central location and excellent reputation for hospitality. "The delegates will get lots of work done this week," said Gary Dale Cearley, executive director of Aeroceanetwork, "The fact they have come so far shows their dedication to working together."

Aeroceanetwork is one of the world's premier networks of independent professional logistics companies. Networks of this kind are important for independent freight companies because the networks help them to better compete internationally with the much larger multinational forwarders. "We focus on the companies building logistics trade with one another and this is done through maximizing the personal contact with the shipping professionals," said Cearley, "And while there are a few larger groups out there, much of our success comes from the fact that we are a bit more selective on who can join and we don't load up too many agents in one area."

They chose Bangkok as this year's meeting location due to practical reasons. "Most of the companies are very happy to be coming here," said Ms. Vu Lan Huong, Aeroceanetwork's membership coordinator, "Bangkok fit our criterion very well as this city is becoming more and more important as a regional logistics hub. Besides that several of our attendees have told us they'd take a few days longer to spend some personal time shopping and to see beautiful Thailand."
