FTA / APSA Executive Forum
APSA and FTA are hosting the NSW Intermodal Forum on 15 August 2017 - sponsored by NSW Ports and CBRE.
Freight forwarders, customs brokers and transport operators are increasingly looking at alternatives to the Mascot, Botany and surrounding suburbs as residential development takes over a zone that was once the commercial hub of international trade. Importers and exporters are also looking at manufacturing, staging, warehousing and distribution centres.
As a result, our intermodal event is attracting registrations from executives from across our combined membership. This event will provide you details of latest developments, an opportunity to contribute to the agenda and a great opportunity for networking with many of industry's leaders.
Confirmed speakers to date include Mick Cronin (NSW Ports), Maurice James (Qube), Mike O'Neil (CBRE), Andrew Adam (Pacific National), Greg Baker (Aurizon Intermodal) and Mark Hulme (DP World Australia).
We encourage you to register for this important event and to share details with colleagues and clients – click HERE |
