Cold Chain Logistics Education Program & Trade Show

"Creating and expanding reliable and efficient regional cold supply chains"

(Simultaneous translation available for all sessions on Tuesday)

This unique event, which will take place at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Bucharest / Romania on September 21-22,  is organized by the European Division of the Global Cold Chain Alliance (GCCA), in partnership with the European Cold Storage and Logistics Association (ECSLA) and the Supply Chain Institute of Southeastern and Central Europe (SCISCE) and the national cold store association AROLA FRIG.

Romania is a country that is generally viewed as a very interesting market, on the brink of showing the world its high potential.  Rising incomes and improved market access have resulted in a larger middle class. Not only are these consumers more demanding, they are also becoming more conscious of the quality and variety of the products. In order to satisfy these consumer demands, boost consumption, and establish an attractive business climate for all European players in the chilled/frozen foods manufacturing and logistics business, an efficient and reliable cold supply chain and supporting infrastructure is required.

Besides presentations on technology, refrigeration and energy efficiency, several regional and international experts will update you on the current and future market developments. For instance speakers from Planning (“Economies in the region”), Macromex (“Distribution challenges, trends in cold storage and transportation in Romania”), Archicom (“Logistic hotspots and market structure”), and ECSLA (“EU legislation issues today and the near future”) and many other subjects.

The fall meeting of the European IARW Council takes place in Bucharest as well. On September 21, warehouse members meet to discuss developments that affect their operations. For the first time, this meeting is not only open to IARW members but also to warehouse operators who are members of ECSLA-affiliated associations like VDKL, USNEF, Nekovri, Aldefe, etc.

This conference has an excellent price-quality ratio, and takes place in the fully refurbished 5-star Crowne Plaza Hotel. Room reservations can be made directly with the hotel by using the special form.
For spouses not joining the conference, we offer a special Monday/Tuesday social events package for Euro 65.
 

This conference will be an excellent opportunity to learn more about the challenges and opportunities of the Romanian market and to network with local and international colleagues. Of the estimated 120 participants we expect at least 30 to be from Western European countries. The program is open to members and non-members; pre-registration required.
