The Frankfurt Air Cargo Community Conference 2025 was officially opened this morning in Frankfurt, with a milestone 10th anniversary for the event. The event, held in Deutsche Bank Park, has moved delegates from all over the world and made its biggest attendance to date.
Manager Susanne Klingler-Wanderer has opened the event, and the community’s journey over the past decade reflects on the community’s journey. “Ten years ago, we started significantly smaller than a meeting of local colleagues who discuss daily activities and share ideas,” she told delegates. ‘Now, a decade later, we have developed into a global event and have attracted our leaders, experts and innovators from all corners of the world. It was a ten -year journey – and we’re just running. ‘
A highlight of the agenda is a panel that brings together leaders of Europe’s most important cargo up – with Frankfurt, the largest center of the continent, firmly in the middle of the discussion. The two-day event also contains innovation space, workshops and networking opportunities, covered by a 10th anniversary and a festive stadium tour.
Felix Tepsch, CEO of the Air Cargo Community Frankfurt, took the stage to the opening, welcomed the participants and paid tribute to the partners who made the event possible, including knives Frankfurt and the city’s Tourism Board. “Everything we do in our community is never done by one or two, not even ten people,” he said. “It’s a tremendous group effort, and I’m proud to be here on behalf of such a dedicated network.”
Appsch drew attention to new functions for 2025, including a dedicated Lufthansa innovation stage, focused on sustainability and boot shows, which will result in the Innovation Award. Delegates were also encouraged to use the newly introduced opportunity -App to navigate the program, contact peers and submit questions to speakers.
Klingler-Werner, who emphasizes the width of this year’s program, which stretches from sports logistics and Formula One delivery chain to military logistics with insights from the Bundeswehr, has concluded by declaring: “Our industry is truly internationally, and only through worldwide exchange we can pass together and innovate.”
