IELA REPORT Magazine -Edition 100 - Summer 2023

As I write this, it is clear that we are truly back! Bruges last year proved how thirsty we are to connect, learn and network. Current registrations for Malta are very encouraging. We are up to 232 member delegates from 44 countries and 308 partnering delegates from 57 countries.

It has been a very busy time for all as we continue to struggle with the robust return to business. Staffing is still a challenge faced by many. Our world has changed, and we have changed with it demonstrating our resilience, determination, and flexibility.

You will see in our Congress format this year that we have taken to heart the suggestions provided by our members at the Future of IELA session last year. More member networking, reduced content, more Working Group time. The points raised in the Bruges session were used by the Board as our road map for the past year. We are looking forward to updating you and receiving your new suggestions and requests in Malta.

Net Carbon Zero has been a major part of our efforts this year. As the leader of the UFI/JMIC Net Carbon Zero Events Logistics Workstream, IELA has been placed at the forefront of the initiative and I am very grateful to our contributing members and our newly formed Sustainability Working Group.

In tandem with our UFI/JMIC efforts on sustainability, we have been working with a Sustainability Consultant ISLA to create a programme for our members to either start or continue the Sustainability In some areas of the world, this is currently a very hot topic. In others, it is barely in its infancy. It is an area we will all have to focus on in the future, and so it is our goal to provide our members with a very high level of support in this process.

Our other major accomplishment this year has been the creation of the IELA Academy. This is a new education programme for our members on the tradeshow logistics industry. It has been literally years in the making and we are very excited to introduce it to you in Malta.

We are excited as well to present to you two other new member benefits in Malta. A Payment System and Mediation Programme for members. We are constantly striving to ensure that our association offers our members the most valued advantages.

Our association depends on the efforts of our Working Groups, made up of members volunteering their time and knowledge to make us better and stronger. So I will ask two things of our delegates in Malta. First, please take the time to thank the warrior volunteers of our working groups. And secondly, please consider joining a Working Group yourself if you haven’t already. The rewards of participating are many: new acquaintances, increased knowledge and involvement in the development and evolution of our organisation.

Speaking of volunteers, I want to thank our Board of Management members for their time and dedication to IELA. During the pandemic, we started having regular (monthly) meetings via zoom. We have continued this post pandemic and have found that it makes the running of the association much more manageable. It does, however, require a greater amount of time. This current team is energized and motivated. Their efforts cannot go unmentioned. Thank you to Bas, Daniel, Lucien, Sudhir, Alexandra, Orphee, and Jasmine. A great team.

The Secretariat makes it all happen behind the scenes. So, as you enjoy Malta, the Keynote Speaker, the content, the dinners and of course the day out, please remember that behind it all is Elizabeth and her team!

See you all in Malta! t

IN MEMORY OF JEAN-PAUL MOSER | 30/12/1935 - 16/03/2023

Jean-Paul Moser

Jean-Paul Moser was one of the seven people at the first preliminary meeting to create IELA, held in Geneva. He was IELA’s last original founding member.

He organised the 1st IELA Congress in 1986, as well as the 10th Congress in 1996 in Montreux, Switzerland.

In 2006, he organised the 1st Seniors Club gathering, also in Montreux, and remained treasurer of the Seniors Club until 2020.

Jean-Paul was a warmhearted, friendly, always positive, good living person. A wine expert & lover, taking care of his own vineyards.

Jean-Paul‘s imprint within IELA will be remembered.

Jean-Paul was interviewed by IELA for the special edition of the magazine about the 35th anniversary of IELA, in Spring 2020.

When asked about his memories of when IELA was created, he explained “After lively discussions on several points such as rules, regulations, targets, name, etc., we agreed to meet together again on March 6th 1985 in Geneva and so IELA was born. For all of us it was an emotional day and we felt that we were at the beginning of a great deal. Today’s result certainly exceeded our greatest dreams.”

“A small anecdote: for the dinner following the constituent assembly, I was in charge to order the wine. By chance my choice suited all the participants and therefore I was appointed by Ernie Droessart as IELA WINE WAITER for life.”

We also asked him about the organisation side during its first years and he answered “The first year was a “community life apprenticeship” our leaders did almost all the job and step by step, the «house» was built. New members continuously added to the numbers and were admitted under the basic edicted rule: QUALITY BUT NOT QUANTITY.”

He also was asked about what were the expectations for growth back then at its creation and he explained that “It was not without any strong turbulences but in the end, IELA SPIRIT won.” t

The 16th annual gathering of the IELA Seniors Club took place in Porto, Portugal April 27th - 30th

Porto and its baroque art style entices the IELA Seniors Club

The event began with a casual welcoming reception atop the Neya Hotel with a breathtaking view of the Douro River. The next morning there was a visit to the Livaria Lello in central Porto, one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world with its majestic crimson spiral staircase, floor-to-ceiling bookcases and stained-glass skylight. Rumours say it gave inspiration for Hogwarts in the Harry Potter series.

Our walking tour went through the historic centre of Porto with delightful cobblestone laneways and historic buildings. The striking architecture of the Church and Tower of Clerigos makes it the city’s most recognizable landmark. We didn’t even try the tower’s 230 narrow steps! We made our way to the Sao Bento train station and Mercado, the city’s fresh market with local specialties to end the day with a visit to Cave Ferreira wine cellar and a wine tasting.

The programme continued on Saturday with a visit to Quinto do Seixo - Sandeman vineyard. Wonderful photos could be taken of the terraced winery landscapes and the river valley region. We had a guided wine tour and lunch was enjoyed at the riverside in a local restaurant for traditional Portuguese cuisine, accompanied by our warmhearted guide, Ms. Anna Maria Pereira.

Of course, a Seniors Club gathering would not be complete without enjoying local fine dining experiences. This included Chez La Pin featuring tasty Portuguese dishes and lots of laughs followed by the Restaurant Guarany, a contemporary fine Mediterranean cuisine café with a musical ambiance and highlighted by two paintings by Graca Morais.

Thursday, June 29th 2023

Portomaso Suite, Level 3, HILTON MALTA ST JULIAN’S, MALTA

Having done the on-site registration for the Congress on Wednesday June 28th, it is imperative that all participants for the General Assembly & Elections register themselves additionally, on Thursday June 29th from 13:30 - 14:00 in the Portomaso Foyer (Level 3) at the registration desk. Registration only for the Congress does not deliver the “voting power” for the GA.

Please remember to bring along the signed proxy form for those who have been named by another member. Registration is not possible without this document.

The General Assembly programme will start at 14:00 with the Welcome Address, followed by the Chairperson’s report, the Treasurer’s report and the External Auditor’s report

The elections for the New Members of the Board of Management will take place after the presentation of the candidates.

All IELA Members will vote the following:

a) New Members of the Board of Management (by secret ballot)

b) External Auditor (show of hands)

ELECTION of EXTERNAL AUDITOR:

Why do we, as an association, require an External Auditor?

Auditors are used to ensure that organisations maintain accurate financial records and statements. An External Auditor is someone who examines the financial records and business transactions of an Association with which he or she is not affiliated.

An External Auditor is typically used to avoid conflicts of interest and to ensure the integrity of the auditing process. When an audit is performed, it is the financial auditor’s responsibility to make sure that records are examined in an honest, professional and forthright manner. t

On Thursday June 29th, the elections for the 4 seats available on the IELA Board of Management will take place during the General Assembly.

We are glad to present the 3 candidates, in alphabetical order, standing for election for a two-year term

“I am Eve Novikova, an entrepreneur and a businesswoman. Throughout my career, I had the opportunity to work on many exciting projects, from delivering Victoria and Albert Museum exhibitions overseas to working for Formula 1 events, banking forums, and trade exhibitions.

However, in the last three years, I went through the most intense school of life. It started with the lows I never knew existed, which fuelled an unparalleled desire to seek knowledge and understanding of how my body, mind, emotional state, and life are formed. I indulged myself in teaching, training, and knowledge of the bestknown and most influential Indian Guru, cutting-edge quantum physicists and accomplished neuroscientists and many enlightened beings. I would like to share some of my knowledge and practices which completely transformed my physical state and perception of life. Share tools and practices which were instrumental in enhancing my life experience and redesigning my physical body, behaviour patterns, relationships, personal and professional life ” t

IELA partners with to deliver training and inspiration to fuel members’ journey to Net Zero

Through a series of ISLA webinars and roundtables IELA aims to empower your company with the confidence and knowledge to begin building sustainability into your daily practices.

Last year, IELA was chosen to lead the UFI/JMIC Net Carbon Zero Events Logistics Workstream, an honour and a reflection of our importance in the industry.

IELA has been placed at the forefront of the NZCE initiative and we are very grateful to our contributing members and our newly formed IELA Sustainability Working Group.

In tandem with our UFI/JMIC efforts on sustainability, we have been working over the past 3 months with ISLA, a non-profit organisation devoted to accelerating the event industry transition to a sustainable future.

The cooperation with this year had one main objective: to provide our members with a very high level of support in this process. We started an awareness campaign to create a programme for our members to either start or continue the Sustainability Journey. In some areas of the world, this is currently a very hot topic. In others, it is barely in its infancy.

We believe that we as an association are a catalyst for change. In Malta, we will have the chance to have with us during the General Assembly to discuss the topic together with you and all IELA Working Groups, the pulsing heart of IELA.

Understanding Net Zero is a complex topic. If you did not have the chance to join the three ISLA-IELA webinars, go to the IELA TV in the Member Zone of our website and get prepared for the conversation ☺

Change is about progress, not perfection.

Take the lead and become part of the solution!

In control, step by step. Together.

The Net Zero Carbon Events Initiative will change the way we work.

Here are 4 of the lessons learned that will help you to understand and identify where to start:

• A science based target.

• Reducing total Greenhouse Gas emissions by 90% before offsetting any unavoided emissions.

1 What is Net Zero?

• This 90% reduction is by 2050 at the latest.

• This 90% reduction needs to take into account the entire supply chain, this means measuring and reducing emissions from all 3 scopes.

• Reductions are in comparison to your baseline year, e.g. 2022/2023.

What commitment to Net Zero Carbon means:

• Before the end of 2023, publish the organization’s pathway to achieve Net Zero.

• Collaborate with partners, suppliers and customers to drive change across the value chain.

• Measure and track our Scope 1,2 and 3 GHG emissions.

• Report on progress at least every two years.

2

The Net Zero Carbon Events signatories commit to the following...

3 Towards Net Zero: Major Milestones

2030 Halve

Define event activities / areas of impact. Measure “business-as-usual” emissions.

Create a pathway / plan to reduce emissions towards…

Reduce emissions by at least 50% by 2030.

Offset unavoidable carbon emissions through an accredited scheme.

Report on performance and plan for further reductions.

4 Logistics Pathway to 2050

Reduce emissions by 90% by 2050 at the latest.

Offset unavoided carbon emissions through an accredited scheme.

We know that change is coming IELA has a fantastic opportunity to lead that change for the exhibition logistics industry.

At IELA TV you have access to all webinars with all lessons learned to start your NZCE journey

The Future of Part 2

UPDATE ON THE PROGRESS OF THE SUBJECTS IDENTIFIED IN BRUGES JUNE 2022

In Bruges last year we held a session about the Future of IELA . This was based on the question of what is the future of our industry and/or where are we going to be! We all suffered the pandemic and were all forced to rethink our Company, our work but also our life! A lot of changes followed where people thought differently about their work and life balance. It is now also about what people expect from an association like IELA. Speaking short term, there is the focus on what is in it for me, often driven by the necessity of earning money or maintaining the cash flow. In the long term this changes but we as a board are also not sure when identifying expectations. Wanting to know just this, we asked you last year about what you expect from our association in the Future and what do you want back!

This might be seen as being a weak step by the Board to ask members for their input, maybe even naïve and not necessary to discuss within IELA. Maybe there are complaints at the bar…

Putting this all aside, in Bruges we registered a variety of short term benefits raised as topics or wishes. We look forward to our session in Malta where we hope to discuss more deeply the subject with long-term horizons. Regardless of the outcome of the Bruges sessions, the Board will consider each and every subject in depth.

To give a summary of the subjects and progress from our first session:

Membership benefits, New Member Recruitment and Standards, Congress & Partnering Event Format, Payment & Code of Conduct, Membership Standards.

Membership Benefits:

We have completed our Dispute and Mediation Programme and put a procedure in place to accommodate this.

Sustainability / Net Carbon Support

We have teamed up with ISLA to give our members the opportunity to identify a Net zero route as expected by our clients (organisers and venues)

Payment System

As a long term wish, discussion is programmed on the agenda of Malta 2023.

IELA Academy

Existing talent amongst our members has the right to be trained and develop further. In addition to the Operations Summit and Winter Seminar, this year we have put into place the beginnings of the IELA Academy.

New Member Recruitment and Standards

Since the beginning of the Pandemic we have lost a few members. In our efforts to regain members, we hope to find new members and have developed a more standardised and faster procedure.

White Spot Countries as target

We have focused on White Spot countries and the positive results will be presented in Malta.

Examination process of new applicants is being strengthened

The Examination is already strict. There will be more focus on this and the challenges faced with the membership in general.

Consistency in the enforcement of member criteria

The Board has begun discussing an annual review of members which could become part of our future. This will be one of the topics of our session in Malta.

Congress & Partnering Event Format

• Increased networking time for members

• Reduced Content

• Most important is social networking

• Programme Change – GA moved to the afternoon

• Increased WG time

• Return of Day Out

• Return of Companion Programme

• Future of IELA must be included in the content

• Second day AM more relaxed start

Membership Standards

Again the membership asked for a more standardised set up for all members to comply with.

We have set up a Task Force to create a tool to ensure that existing IELA standards are being maintained by members. The feedback was that the Member survey is not a sufficient tool for this process. t

2023 IELA PARTNERING EVENT SPONSORS (by Alphabetical order)

Welcome to the 10th IELA Partnering Event!

We are excited to welcome you on the Beautiful Island of Malta. For some it’s well-known as a holiday resort but you need to know more about its history over more than 5.000 years to understand how the Maltese language originates from 3 different languages. This makes it the perfect place to meet and to build on our network and open doors to a new Future!

Following the IELA General Assembly in Barcelona in 2012 we added 2 extra days to the event for meeting non-IELA members also active in the Exhibition Logistics Industry. This year is the 10th anniversary of this Partnering Event.

It is not a secret that we have lost members during the Pandemic but we still exist!

Following the encouraging participation at our General Assembly last year, we are now back to where we want to be. Partnering plays a crucial role in this as the perfect place to meet new contacts and develop them into new members.

IELA is on the move with more commitment than ever towards our future by involving other Global Associations. The industry has set a Net Zero Carbon Future but to reach that Future the focus is very much on us. We have to come up with ideas, we have to develop a more sustainable footprint. We have to set steps. It must be explained that this will not happen overnight and that change will not be taking place at the same speed everywhere, but these changes create the perfect opportunity to become a sustainable partner in this Future.

So feel welcome, meet old friends who you might not have seen for a few years and be open for the opportunity to make new friends and brighten your network. IELA is giving you the opportunity to open doors to a new future…

Kind regards on behalf of the IELA board, Bas

Wiendels

“

Working with IELA partners for defencerelated exhibitions is a must. Not only IELA partners, but very well experienced IELA partners can produce great results.

While we do not like to have high pressure and high anxiety experience, it is great when you can rely on very experienced partners! ”

SPECIAL DOSSIER

DEFENCE LOGISTICS

highlighted Greg Keh , with TWI GROUP INC. (USA)

DEFENCE is a key industry within the exhibition world and a speciality when it comes to forwarding and handling the exhibits.

In this dossier, IELA Members are sharing their expertise on DEFENCE LOGISTICS and highlight several events.

INDUSTRY OUTLOOK

• The Defence exhibition industry combines more than 100 defence shows globally, about 50 yearly of varying sizes.

• 99% of shows take place once every 2 years with 3 types of focus areas: air, land and sea forces. Combining all types is referred to as “interoperability”.

• Certain shows combine one or more areas, the biggest global shows being Eurosatory and IDEX/NAVDEX with the emergence of the World Defence Show.

• For countries which are manufacturers (France, US, Germany etc.), the defence market is very international, with no local supply chain entities. This means that goods must systematically return to the country of origin.

• Following COVID-19, most shows took place on very different dates compared to previous editions. In 2023, the calendar is primarily back to normal.

• Many technical considerations create a barrier to entry that not every forwarder can handle such as export/import licenses and EUC (end-user certificates).

• Maritime freight has become more difficult post-pandemic with numerous maritime companies refusing to handle defence and military cargo.

• Defence exhibitions are premium events where the stakes are high and involving many actors (States, companies etc.). These events serve as platforms for major announcements such as new products or contracts which took months to be negotiated. t

CASE STUDIES

FROM SOUTH AFRICA

AFRICA AEROSPACE & DEFENCE (AAD) 2022 BY

BIG LOGISTICS INDIA PVT LTD

AAD 2022 was held in the beautiful country of South Africa from September 21st25th 2022, gathering 203 exhibitors from 24 countries with 9 national pavilions and welcoming 23.043 trade visitors and over 50.000 public visitors from 76 countries. The 12th edition ADD2024 is set to take place at the Air Force Base Waterkloof, in the city of Tshwanew from September 18th - 22nd 2024.

BIG Logistics India Pvt Ltd was on-site as the Official Freight Forwarder appointed from India for ADD 2022. A total of 7 exhibitors participated and the company handled around 9 tons of air-freight on returnable basis.

Shipping live arms & ammunition plus other DG Goods, coupled with the paucity of time, made this job a challenging affair.

Apart from AAD the team of BIG Logistics India was present on-site for 7 Defence Shows in the year 2022-23 serving Indian Defence manufacturers including: IDEX, DSA, ADAS, etc. t

FROM UNITED KINGDOM

FARNBOROUGH INTERNATIONAL AIR SHOW BY CEVA

SHOWFREIGHT

The Farnborough International Air Show is one of the highlights in the Defence calendar. Over 1500 exhibitors representing 96 countries biannually descend on the Farnborough Aerodrome. The site is a working airport, 310 hectares in size and provides both permanent and temporary exhibit space. Two significant challenges exist: firstly, the range of sensitive and controlled cargo requiring a highly skilled team to diligently process high volumes of complex paperwork to ensure import and export compliance is met. Secondly, the most noticeable challenge is simply the volume of delivery vehicles arriving onsite.

CEVA Showfreight UK manages the site traffic, builds valuable onsite advanced warehousing and uses an array of IT systems and apps to increase traffic flow and reduce congestion. t

DSEI UK

BY DSV SOLUTIONS LTD

DSEI, a biennial event, located at ExCeL London, connects the global defence community. The next edition will take place from September 12th - 15th 2023. DSEI 2023 is expected to be back to pre-pandemic levels and on track to be the biggest DSEI yet! DSEI and DSEI Connect 2023 plan to showcase over 1,000 defence and security suppliers – including all the major prime manufacturers plus more than 100 new exhibitors.

DSV Solutions Fairs & Events team provides specialised handling, customs, scheduling & traffic management services. As well as handling aircraft, military ground vehicles and other large-scale exhibits, their specialised crane services also include lifting numerous vessels into and out of the waterborne demonstration area.

}}Thank you to Garcia Newell DSV SOLUTIONS LTD, UK garcia.newell@dsv.com www.dsv.com/en-gb

Scheduling is a vital element for the event. Working closely with the organiser, venue and clients is important to ensure sensitive exhibits navigate strict regulations and arrive in accordance with requirements. The DSV global team is proud of the extensive work and dedication that they put into DSEI to add real value for clients. t

FROM SAUDI ARABIA

WORLD DEFENSE SHOW BY DSV SOLUTIONS LLC

The World Defense Show in Saudi Arabia demonstrated effective management of substantial shipment volumes, emphasizing the intricacies of defence logistics.

The logistical achievement at the World Defense Show highlighted the complexities of defence operations. DSV’s role as a trusted partner, official freight and site handling agent ensured the smooth flow of goods, significantly contributing to the event’s success.

Meticulous planning and specialized equipment facilitated the movement of numerous shipments across various transportation modes, ensuring timely delivery and precise placement within the 800,000 square metre venue.

DSV used innovative tracking systems and expertise in handling sensitive and oversized cargo to ensure the efficiency of operations throughout the logistics chain. t

FROM ITALY AERONAUTICAL VILLAGE IN PIAZZA DEL POPOLO BY EXPOTRANS S.P.A

Aerospace logistics can be more complex than other industries. The nature of the goods themselves and the locations where the events take place can create several difficulties.

A recent example of such an event managed by Expotrans S.p.A and handled by their partner CEVA LOGISTICS UK is the setting up of the “Aeronautical Village” in Piazza del Popolo, in the historic centre of Rome.

This is part of the celebrations for the centenary of the Italian Air Force (19232023). One task was the night transport of a F35 1:1 scale mock up (the local police of Rome was involved for the armed escort up to Piazza del Popolo) and the installation with forklifts and cranes.

There was also the oversize load of a real firefighter helicopter to take care of which was displayed in Piazza del Popolo for the celebrations. t

LAAD DEFENCE & SECURITY is held in Rio de Janeiro. The latest edition which took place in April 2023 was considered the return of the largest and most important defence and security trade show in South America .

BY FINK MOBILITY

FINK MOBILITY is a logistics provider for LAAD DEFENCE & SECURITY. Event preparation takes months with many meetings with Army, Defence Ministry, organiser, Customs authorities - everything to make process flows as smooth as possible. The event success depends on the dedication and expertise of the nominated Official Freight Forwarders. Besides the necessary documentation for the authorities, the logistics operators must count on a skilled team on site, special trucks with transit permits for controlled cargo, armed escorts during the transits, security in the booth and all necessary equipment for heavy and complex material. FINK MOBILITY is very proud to assist international exhibitors at LAAD for many years now and to partner with committed IELA members for this most challenging fair. t

“A fundamental part of the fair happened behind the scenes and starts prior to the show with the work of the freight forwarder who plans to move products that would be exhibited, helps the exhibitors to obtain permits from the Brazilian Army and handles the Brazilian Customs procedures.

As organizers, we maintain a long-term relationship with a group of freight forwarders who provide an invaluable service to exhibitors, guaranteeing their success at the show.

The Mexican Aerospace Fair, FAMEX, is a commercial activity of civil, military, security and defence in the aeronautical field whose objective is to bring together the leaders of these sectors to promote commercial exchange and boost the growth of the aerospace industry in Mexico.

ROCK-IT Global Mexico has been designated as the Sole Official Freight Forwarder and OnSite Vendor for the 4th time, having the chance to work hand-in-hand with our IELA Agents in Italy, Greece, USA and Canada.

“This show is always an achievement as it is a very long move in event days. We have to coordinate with a lot of different persons and positions in our Defence Ministry (SEDENA) and that makes it very challenging. We always learn new things and processes from them but also share Trade Show logistics experience which makes it very enriching”, said Kim Valdes. t

SITDEF, the International Exhibition of Technology for the Defence and Prevention of Disasters, is the only fair sponsored and organised jointly by the Ministry of Defence and the Armed Forces of Peru, held every two years.

This event took place for the first time in 2007 and ROCK-IT GLOBAL PERU has been Official Freight Forwarder since 2017. Since most of the cargo used for this is controlled, these are three main points to check well in advance:

• National Defence representatives in

charge: to understand the established bureaucratic procedures and the hierarchy of representatives involved.

• Import permits / End-User Certification: timely documentation analysis to apply for permits. Although weapons, armoured vehicles, ammunition, etc. are exempted from permits when consigned to the Army, these are not the only materials presented at the event. Permits must be applied for before other regulatory entities.

• Air / sea freight options: to submit sufficient documentation and safety data to secure spots as well as to check the routes/connections are not restricted for this kind of cargo. t

DEFEXPO is India’s flagship exhibition on Land and Naval Defence and Asia’s largest event in the defence sector across an area of 01+ lakh square metres.

Normally held in March 2022, the show was postponed due to logistical problems faced by the participants worldwide and was rescheduled for October 18th - 22nd, 2022. Shipments had already arrived at the venue, customs cleared, MHE & the whole team were ready to deliver shipments to the exhibitors. With the last minute announcement of show postponement, hell broke out with instructions to vacate the venue & Onsite Customs Bonded Premises immediately. R.E.

A LETTER FROM USA TO DEFEXPO 2023 MAKING IT HAPPEN UNDER HIGH PRESSURE AND HIGH ANXIETY

“Working with IELA partners for defencerelated exhibitions is a must. Not only IELA partners, but very well experienced IELA partners can produce great results. For DEFEXPO in India, TWI had a special aircraft mockup being airfreighted to Mumbai and most flights and airlines were very full. Needless to say, our freight was stuck and delayed and in danger of missing the show. By changing the cargo booking to top urgent, we were able to have the 32 cbm airfreight shipment arrive into Mumbai near midnight, 1.5 days before the start of the show. The

freight was very large and spread over 5 airline pallets. Our partners, Rogers India, were able to work with ground handling at the airport and the airline to have the freight made available to us urgently, have all the trucks loaded with drivers to make the 16hour drive direct to the show site, where our clients were anxiously waiting.

Finally, the trucks arrived less than 7 hours before the show started. Our client, TWI and Rogers India, were able to deliver and have the simulator set up before the show.

Many steps had to be taken to ensure that this could happen and when you have IELA members involved, positive results can be created. While we do not like to have this type of high pressure and high anxiety experience, it is great when you can rely on very experienced partners!” t

HOW TO...

TIPS FROM EXPERTS IN DEFENCE LOGISTICS

FROM UNITED KINGDOM

“Each country brings its own challenges. The main challenge would be the different rules and regulations for customs between one country and another. Meeting and coordination with the customs ahead of the exhibition is vital to have a clear understanding of the requirements and customs regulations.

Also it is very important to have highly skilled experienced onsite team in handling oversized shipments and armoured vehicles”, explained Ziad Harb, with BCC LOGISTICS QATAR, SAUDI ARABIA AND LEBANON t

FROM INDIA

“Handling of cargo for Defence Shows always involves cargo of high value, dangerous nature and dealing with secretive information and documentation. Hence, the team involved in handling Defence Cargo must be skilled, highly efficient, and above all precise in communication”. Ujjwal Gupta, with BIG LOGISTICS INDIA PVT LTD, INDIA t

FROM GERMANY

“Defence shows call for a high level of logistical experience and a sense for the sensitivity concerning this industry and their products. The entire transport chain must work failure-free. Any disturbance at any logistics interface may lead to unforeseen difficulties and heavy penalties up to cargo confiscation by the authorities. Therefore, it’s recommendable to study the ground before entering an unknown field”.

Christoph Rauch , with BTG MESSE-SPEDITION

GMBH, GERMANY t

FROM SWITZERLAND

“It is very important that defence related shipments are treated with even more caution. Checking import restrictions and license applications can be very long. It is important that the necessary information is received well in advance from our exporting clients and transferred to our partners at destination. It is crucial to have enough time to prepare defence related shipments and, depending on the destination, to allow enough time for customs clearance”. Dominique Geiser, with BTG SUISSE LTD., SWITZERLAND. t

“Defence shows do tend to show the full range of capabilities of a logistics contractor. Complex customs procedures, a wide range of lifting requirements and the additional responsibility of managing the internal traffic systems. We also have to consider factors such as staff welfare during a 12-week operation and even the weather where UK temperatures exceeded 40 degrees at last year’s event”, said Sharon Robinson, with CEVA SHOWFREIGHT, UNITED KINGDOM t

FROM UNITED KINGDOM

“To manage events like DSEI you need a strong, experienced, flexible and knowledgeable team who meet the needs of its client base and work closely with key stakeholders. A unique and key aspect of providing defence industry exhibition logistics is the ability to assist international clients in navigating complex compliance and customs regulations“, said Garcia Newell, with DSV, UNITED KINGDOM. t

FROM ITALY

“Aerospace logistics presents many challenges and various difficulties. Whoever wants to try their hand at this type of work must have various skills, certainly including passion and resilience , in addition to precision, punctuality and flexibility (characteristics already necessary for the world of events in general!). Obviously, strong communication skills are also essential for each stakeholder and partner involved in the operation in order to work together”, explained Edoardo Fornelli, with EXPOTRANS S.P.A, ITALY. t

FROM QATAR

“Given the complexity of the cargo, every single shipment is carefully planned in advance with the shipper and exhibitors, avoiding any delays on arrival and prioritizing the delivery in time to the exhibition”, explained Mohammed Dib, with ONSITE TRADING & SERVICES W.L.L., QATAR. t

“With Brazil being well-known for not being easy customs-wise, especially on restricted goods, the biggest challenge is to bring together all authorities involved at the event e.g. Ministry of Defence, Army authority, Brazilian Public Security structure, Airport Terminal Management and Customs authority itself. To achieve this, there are various meetings per year before the event, with all support from the organiser!” explained Marcelo Paradela, with ROCK-IT GLOBAL BRAZIL, BRAZIL. t

FROM PERU

“For a successful Defence show, one has to understand how time, detail and safetyoriented the operations have to be.

• Time, for all the internal bureaucratic procedures and permit arrangements.

• Detail, for documents and operation analysis before cargo arrives.

• And safety, for the special handling and transport of cargo temporarily entrusted to the Armed Forces.

All these and keeping in mind that your work not only represents your company but the country’s most respected institutions”, recommended Luis Alfredo Guerrero Chavez , with ROCK-IT GLOBAL PERU , PERU t

FROM INDIA

“The skills required to work in defence logistics are to be highly knowledgeable & experienced on rules & regulations as the defence logistical requirements are invariably complex. Flexible, agile, able to respond to unpredictable circumstances with cost effective and secure solutions“, explained Sudhir Dhavan, with R.E. ROGERS INDIA PVT. LTD., INDIA. t

FROM MALAYSIA

“Managing a defence show is complex and requires advanced management skills and experience. As the Official Freight Forwarder, we must have a deep understanding of the defence industry and the technologies being showcased. We handle each shipment personally and ensure that it is displayed and handled properly”, said Mohd Rasyid Abdullah, with R.E. ROGERS (MALAYSIA)

MEXICO AND THE DEFENCE INDUSTRY: MAKING IT HAPPEN UNDER HIGH PRESSURE AND HIGH ANXIETY

Mexico has become one of the main centres of the aeronautical sector in Latin America and the world, a leader in the manufacturing industry from design, engineering and assembly to reconversion, maintenance and recycling

It is the sixth largest provider of aeronautical products in the United States. (US Department of Commerce, 2012). It has the fourth largest fleet of private jets in the world (Aviation Week, 2013). A plane with Mexican technology takes off every two minutes (ProMexico 2012)

In Mexico, a large part of the world’s largest aircraft turbines, the Airbus 380 (Ministry of Economy, 2012), is designed. General Electric, the largest producer of aircraft engines and its largest research and design centre outside the US is in Querétaro, Mexico.

Mexico is the gateway to the most important market in the world: a

leading exporter of advanced high-tech manufacturers, an important pole of attraction for investment, the seventh most attractive country to invest in the world. (World Investment Report 2013, UN Conference on Trade and Development, UNCTAD). It is 9th in the 25 most attractive countries for investors in the world (FDI Confidence Index 2013, consultant A.T. Kearney) and offers modern, world-class infrastructure and competitive costs in North America. It also has a young, talented and trained population t

FRANCE AND THE DEFENCE INDUSTRY: MAKING IT HAPPEN UNDER HIGH PRESSURE AND HIGH ANXIETY

The French defence industry is the No. 3 world exporter of defence equipment. France has an industry capable of providing almost all the equipment necessary for its army, bringing together nearly 2,000 companies with a total turnover of 30 billion euros.

The 4 most important international Defence trade shows in France are Eurosatory-Euronaval-Milipol-Sofins, and Clamageran Expositions is official appointed logistics services provider for these defence shows.

Due to major security issues worldwide and now war in Europe, worldwide government defence budgets are increasing and the defence industries are working 24/7 to produce more equipment in order to reach their targets, creating new jobs for the economy and increasing trade shows participation. t

Following the in-person meeting at the 37th IELA annual congress in June 2022 after a couple of years of pandemic, the Industry Relation Working Group (IRWG) is proud to continue to build the bridges between IELA and all key players of the exhibition industry worldwide (all major associations, show organisers and venues).

Our tasks up to the end of 2023 and 2024 will be:

• To continue to improve the IELA relationship with our International associations and also locally through our Ambassadors.

• To enhance mutual support in the exhibition industry worldwide and close partnerships with IELA.

• To continue presenting IELA Sustainability guidelines to our local associations as well as the IELA net zero carbon project together with ISLA.

On behalf of our existing and new ambassadors in the respective countries, we will continue “together strong” worldwide to share the common goal and mission with our local associations of Sustainability! This topic will remain important in coming decades. We must really start working intensely together to leave a clean planet to the next generation.

As per my proposal and validation by IELA Board of Management on May 16 th 2023, the active and devoted members of the IRWG will be managed as from the incoming IELA Annual Congress in June in Malta by a new chairperson: Kim Valdes with the new vice chairperson: Garcia Newell.

I will continue to be part of the group as a member as well as Go-To Person as member of the IELA Board of Management.

EDUCATION & TRAINING WG

E&TWG had the opportunity to start its Brainstorming session before and during the Bruges congress last year.

The discussion was mainly about the Winter Seminar 2023 which was to be taking place in-person in Cape Town. There were several doubts about attendance as recovery from Covid was not yet fully under control.

But we successfully made it with 31 students from 18 countries!

The topics chosen were based on current scenarios with major emphasis on Sustainability and Packing. Active role playing as exhibitor and forwarder ensured that the student was more confronted with the practical aspects of our Industry.

The formation of groups amongst the students led to practice in presenting what they had learnt. External speakers made it a truly great experience by covering matters such as insurance and marine shipping precautionary measures.

Speaking on behalf of the E&TWG, it was a highly successful in-person Winter Seminar post-Covid.

implemented on the WG platform on the website to attract new and young members to the group.

Our aim now is to deliver the project of an Academy which is a long pending assignment for our working group. We have almost completed our concept and the curriculum is under process.

We are more than confident that this Academy will be of benefit to each participating student in terms of knowledge and standards. The idea is to heighten the skills and readiness of the participants undergoing this course on the market. This degree will be highly recognised in the industry and the students will be fully operational having followed the comprehensive course modules.

More details on the Academy will be revealed post congress regarding fees, international aspects etc. The priorities are now to confirm the concept and the curriculum.

E&TWG is now ready to deliver the next physical Operations Summit 2024 at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. More details to follow soon.

Best regards Sudhir

New Chair Generation! INTERVIEW

Why is the E&TWG important to you?

I had the privilege of participating at the IELA Winter Seminar 2006 in Zürich, where I was awarded “Best Student”. Being a youngster in our industry, I gained a lot of knowledge and experience from the old hands during the seminar and met many people from around the globe who I only knew by email until then. 17 years later I still look back positively to this WS and I am happy that I got the chance to join. I would also like to give this opportunity to other members.

Our industry has lost staff during the pandemic and it is important that newcomers are well trained to obtain comprehensive knowledge of our industry. This plays a major role for IELA in providing and delivering high quality service to organisers, exhibitors and exhibition contractors.

What are your objectives as Chairperson?

I would like to continue to deliver a high quality programme for youngsters at the Winter Seminars and for the experienced at the Operations Summit which offer a wealth of benefits to participants.

Furthermore I would love to establish a platform where the staff of our members who are not joining the IELA congresses can meet and exchange online about the topics of their daily work. 15 years ago, the Ops Club was established for a short time, but due to problems on the website, it vanished from the scene. I feel it is important to give all staff the feeling that they are part of the IELA family, even if they cannot all be present at congresses, WS or OS!

What was your personal experience as member of this WG and why would you recommend IELA Members to join?

I joined the IELA E&TWG in summer 2018, was well received and directly part of the team.

We have regular online meetings and the physical one during the Congress, so we all know each other and are always happy when new members join. It is an open-minded team from around the globe which brings new ideas. We discuss a lot with the focus on developing a training benefit for our IELA members.

As a mother of 2, I know how important education is and that training is necessary to improve. It is the basis not only for professional advancement, but also for your personal development.

I can only invite every member to become part of our Working Group to increase ongoing projects and establish new educational programmes for your own staff. What you invest in E&TWG is a benefit for yourself and your team / staff. t

Alessandro Conte (EXPOTRANS Italy) and shared with Vice Chairs Marzena Zawadzka (UNIVERSAL EXPRESS Poland) and Eran Tamir (ICL Israel).

The official presentation will be in Malta in the form of an additional Members’ benefit to support the resolution of eventual disputes.

Four more New Member applications came in since the last IELA Report Magazine. They were surveyed and reviewed in detail by the Group and are pending the Board decision which may be early enough before the next Congress for eventual approved applicants to sign up as participants and increase even more the number of attendees.

The MWG also registered the input coming from the go-to-person of the Board Sandi Trotter: to target attendees at the Partnering Event from White Spot countries and those where for instance IELA has only one member.

MWG will review the weekly PE participant list available on the IELA website, identify targets and choose a representative from the Group who will schedule a quick meeting in Malta with the designated participant to promote the benefits of becoming a IELA member.

Let’s hope we can encourage a rise in our membership in White Spot countries through these efforts.

Regarding application screening, the MWG survey and the Board decision will protect our standards and the compliance of requirements to welcome new members. t

“Recovery” has been a hot topic post COVID. If the year 2022-2023 did not give us a clear picture, the beginning and near future for 2023-2024 surely has given us a reassurance compared to last year. Rather than “Recovery” we should be using the phrase “Positive Recovery”. The industry is back with a bang, with numbers pushing up for all members of the exhibition industry.

More often than not, Quality & Quantity do not go hand-in-hand. This is majorly because maintaining Quality requires time and effort, which sometimes slows down procedures, risking a loss in business.

Through the Standards and Customs Working Group, IELA tries to ensure that members do not lose sight of Quality because of a rush of exhibitions and events, as no one wants to lose business. It is our duty to set sustainable standards which members can follow, thereby maintaining a uniform level of services, if not better.

During our last meeting we discussed how new methods could be devised which could help members to check the Quality of services they are providing. We felt a need that with changing times we must also keep our parametres (to maintain standards) dynamic.

Apart from the IELA Standards of Performance Survey, we are brainstorming the idea for a new award which can help serve IELA members in getting the recognition they deserve for maintaining or improving their level of service.

The idea will be discussed in detail physically during the Congress in Malta. We would very much appreciate the ideas and suggestions of as many innovative minds as possible! Come and join us and help our members take their service to the next level! t

SUSTAINABILITY WG

The Net Zero Carbon Events Initiative hosted by the Joint Meetings Industry Council (JMIC) aims at connecting the event industry globally to achieve net zero events by 2050 - 27 years from now - and an interim target to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by 50 per cent by 2030, in 7 years!

Do you remember the premiere of TITANIC? It was 25 years ago! Time flies and in the words of the IELA Chairperson Sandi Trotter “Sustainability is here, it is not going away. We need to be part of the goal by baby steps, and we need to be part of this NOW”

A new IELA Sustainability Working Group was created at the end of last year in response to the need for immediate action, aiming to design the organisation’s pathway to achieve net zero by 2050 at the latest.

JMIC embraced the structure of the sustainability topic in work areas and IELA was chosen to lead the UFI Net Zero Carbon Events Logistics Workstream which includes 7 IELA participating members. The goal of the Logistics Workstream is to drive the change of mindset (the biggest challenge!) by working on the implementation of the necessary procedures and tools. It’s a very hard job as there are so many development areas but the Sustainability WG is enthusiastic to go ahead and to be the engine of this change.

We have been active for a few months now, seeking for the best options in partners who could help IELA members in their path to sustainability, help us to set internal goals on our way to reduce emissions by 90%, to check the progress of all of us and to provide eventually an adequate assistance and tools to start measuring the CO2 emissions.

ISLA, a UK non-profit organisation dedicated to supporting the transition to sustainable events and one of the potential consultants, already organised 3 webinars for the membership, in order to understand whether their idea of the route towards sustainability is compatible with the needs of IELA members. ISLA will also be introduced to all members during the IELA Congress in Malta and present their project to all of us.

SUSTAINABILITY is one of the major topics now, be part of it and join us at the IELA Congress in Malta.

Together we can make it possible! t
