In addition to new talent, products, knowledge and know-how, AntwerpXL is known for the immense networking opportunities that come from having over 3,700 leading cargo owners, EPCs, freight forwarders and ports from every corner of the globe under one roof. The event features a series of networking events, including the annual BUSINESSRUN, a guided tour the Port of Antwerp-Bruges, speed-networking sessions, late-night networking sessions and AntwerpXLâs Networking Lounge.
Margaret Dunn, Portfolio Director at AntwerpXL, says, âWe are very excited to welcome everyone â all our delegates, exhibitors, and speakers â to AntwerpXL 2023. Thereâs not an event like it. Of course, itâs full of the top service providers and thought-provoking content but itâs also firmly in the industryâs diary as that rare opportunity for the whole of the market to meet and have in-depth, quality business conversations. If you havenât yet signed up to attend, Iâd hurry. You wonât want to miss it.â
