Forwarders Online Conference - the success of the 48-hour digital event for

forwarders

The 48-hour event, Forwarders Online Conference, held by Parnity - the forwarder
platform with more than 13,000 freight forwarders worldwide designed for forwarder
companies to manage current forwarder partners, find new ones, and analyze
partnerships’ quality - happened on May 19th and 20th of 2021.

This was the second year Parnity hosted the event and allowed freight forwarders
worldwide to exchange business and generate new partnerships within the new
reality COVID-19 has installed.

With over 70 attendees registered for the event from more than 35 countries, the
Forwarders Online Conference was an amazing opportunity for forwarders to
connect with each other and establish new partnerships. In total, the forwarders
attendees participated in 454 1on1 meetings and 26,1% of them rated the relevance
of the meetings as excellent.

“We had a great time at the conference and had the chance to contact new
companies. Some opportunities are already being developed and we'll probably
achieve good results with these meetings.” - Laís Klotz from Quantum Logistics, an
attendee at the conference, and Parnity user.

Whether Parnity user or not, the conference was open to freight forwarders
worldwide, meaning they got to participate in the event at their own timezone, the
participants were able to choose once they logged into the event’s system.
Forwarders attendees were in charge of their schedule, they made their timetables
available for the 1on1 meetings and separated their slots to participate in the
lectures, networking rooms, and themed groups.

In total 8 lectures, 3 networking rooms, and 2 themed groups took place, all of them
with the main goal of encouraging freight forwarders to improve their forwarder
business, make new partnerships, and stay up to date with the latest trends of the
industry.

“It was a great pleasure & rich experience to be a part of a conference organized by
Parnity. Got connected with a few new freight forwarders globally” - Nilesh Lapasiya
from Menil Logistics, an attendee at the conference and Parnity user.
