JCtrans: Hello, Ms. Katalin Csader. Firstly, will you please make a brief introduction of TRANSLOG Connect Congress 2012?
Ms. Katalin Csader: TRANSLOG Connect 2012 will be one of the largest and the only regional cross-industrial logistics, transportation and supply chain management event for Central and Eastern Europe in 2012.
The event will be bringing together around 500 senior decision-makers from Europe's leading automotive, electronics, pharmaceuticals, food & beverage and FMCG manufacturers and major food and non-food retailers, giving them the opportunity to share their knowledge and discuss their key priorities. Therefore the regional members of the European Logistics Association (ELA) are highly supporting us again, e.g. the Polish (PTL), the Austrian (BVL), the Hungarian (HLA), the Romanian (ARILOG), and the Ukrainian Logistics Association (ULA) as well as the Croatian Supply Chain Management Association (CSCA), the Purchasing Managers Association of Slovenia (ZNS), the Estonian Purchasing and Supply Chain Management Association (PROLOG), the Lithuanian National Freight Forwards' Association (LINEKA) and GS1 on a CEE-country level basis, not to mention the European-wide media coverage.
The congress will also offer a perfect setting for solution providers in the Supply Chain, Logistics and Transportation sector - such as CH Robinson, DB Schenker, Raben, TNT or DHL - who will present their products and services directly to key decision-makers throughout Central and Eastern Europe.
