Spring is here and as April inexorably turns into May, IATA’s Cargo Network Services (CNS) team is busy making final preparations for the big 27th CNS Partnership Conference to be held at Grande-Lakes Orlando, Florida, from April 30-May 2.
      While anticipation builds as the air cargo industry heads for another opening, CNS President Lionel Van Der Walt is at full pitch to deliver the best Partnership ever.
      “With just 20 days left until the start of the event, we are really excited to note that we already have 547 attendees registered, a new record for CNS.
      “If registrations continue at this rate, we expect well over 600 people to join us in Orlando this year.
      “Our grand traditional ‘Golf Day’ is almost sold out, so this should also prove to be a huge success.
      “Now all we need is for the weather gods to smile upon us and provide a cool, sunny Florida day to ensure a spectacular round of golf and some great networking and quality time as we kick off CNS Partnership at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club.”

Sun & Fun

      “As usual,” Lionel said,” we always strive to provide attendees with some entertainment and a little bit of fun at the end of the conference.
      “This is much deserved considering the intense business meeting schedules that most of us have there.”

Neon Galaxy

      “Without giving too much away,” Lionel confides, “we have planned an evening that underscores the running text of our days of sessions: ‘Preparing for Tomorrow’s Reality.’
”

Sounds Of The Sphere

      “Our gala dinner we will be a brief encounter in another world meant to teleport attendees to a futuristic masquerade, filled with an endless variety of entertainment.
      “Imagine Jeff Bridges in a Tron-like world filled with Cirque du Soleil style entertainment.”

Let It All Hang Out

      “It will be a fun filled evening where you get to choose accessories to accentuate your futuristic personality before entering this colorful neon casino galaxy.
      “Expect something totally different!” Lionel assures.
