IATA's 2024 World Cargo Symposium (WCS), to be staged in Hong Kong from March 12-14, will once again focus on the three core subjects of digitalization, safety and sustainability.
Air Cargo News is the principal media partner for iata WCS, and core programme will kick off on March 12 with the opening plenary.
Alongside keynote sessions, IATA's global head of cargo Brendan Sullivan will take a look back at how the cargo industry fared in 2023, and IATA's senior vice president, while looking ahead, chief economist Marie Owens Thomsen will deliver an economic outlook.
There will also be sessions focusing on air cargo market dynamics and what is influencing the sector, as well as air cargo talent, e-commerce and digital transformation, reports London's Air Cargo News.
On Wednesday March 13, IATA WCS will divide into separate digitalization, sustainability and safety and security streams.
The digitalization stream will include several keynotes, including insight on how Cathay Pacific Cargo has integrated digitalization within its operating structure.
Additionally, there will be a session on the importance of digital standards and a panel discussion on the impact of Generative AI on the air cargo industry.
Within the sustainability stream, delegates will have the chance to learn about the latest climate adaption strategies for air cargo and the industry's road to net zero emissions, and listen to a panel discussion on measuring, managing and reducing CO2 emissions in air cargo.
The 2023 edition brought 1,250 delegates to Istanbul, Turkiye.
