CILT International Convention 1-6th June 2014, Malacca, Malaysia I look forward to seeing you there! This year CILT Malaysia will be the host for the annual CILT International Convention. 2014 promises to be another great year for our International Convention and Malacca will be an exciting new location; with the conference venue close to both the historic part of the town and the main shopping area it is a perfect opportunity to discover somewhere new as well as network with fellow international CILT colleagues. The CILT International Conference provides a unique platform for everyone to come together under one roof and discuss common objectives and goals as well as share knowledge and experience concerning the development of the logistics and transport profession. This is also an ideal opportunity for delegates to help shape our future as an organisation through inputs into our marketing, education, membership, WiLAT and YP agendas. Highlights for this year’s Conference include a Women in Logistics and Transport (WiLAT) event, the first time WiLAT have held their own International Conference at the CILT International Convention; Young Professionals Conference with international speakers, panel presentations, interactive case study activities and an exclusive technical visit to HONDA track facility; as well as a program specifically developed for spouses and family members who accompany main delegates including a river cruise, visit to Animal Life and a visit to a chocolate factory! You can view the family program in full here. This year’s packed programme ensures 2014 will be a great success and I hope that you will join us in attending this unique event and make the most of this great opportunity to network with likeminded professionals from up to 30 countries whilst enjoying Malaysian culture and hospitality. As Malaysia Airlines are the CILT International Convention 2014 Melaka Official Airline they are offering generous discounts to both speakers and delegates, find out more here.
