     By now almost everybody knows that Flughafen Frankfurt Airport dominates as Europe's largest air cargo airport and is among the world's top 15.
     With almost 50 percent of the total air cargo volume to and from Germany, FRA plays a central role in global logistics.
     Say hello to the Management and Board of the ACCF-Air Cargo Community Frankfurt e.V. , (above) as an important annual air cargo conference took off for the ninth time September 4-5 at the House of Logistics and Mobility (HOLM) GmbH, Bessie-Coleman-Straße 7 in Frankfurt, Germany.
     Air Cargo Community celebrating its tenth anniversary in 2024 has jointly organized the conference with Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences (FRA UAS), the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft Institute for Material Flow and Logistics IML, HAUS61, Hessen Aviation.

     Highlight for 2024 FRA Air Cargo Conference invited early bird attendees on Day Two to join a Sunrise Tour at 6 a.m at the airport today to see Lufthansa Cargo Facilities, where dawn patrol attendees can sniff the Jet A and experience action up close and personal.
     But before that yesterday on September 4 over at HOLM, the conference got underway at 08:00, and later at 09:35 with a session on E-commerce titled:
“E-Parcelization of cross-border freight – how to capture the opportunity ahead?”.
     Air Cargo Conference sessions continued all day long including (of course) “Sustainability”on tap for the late afternoon: “How GenAI is Shaping the Future of Airfreight Through Digitization and Automation.”
     Day One concluded with a nice Dinner served at a “sustainable” 17:45 right after the aforementioned session.
     (Bravo we say! Wish more trade shows would adopt this model)
     Today September 5th includes a networking breakfast sponsored by ATC Aviation Services AG, so fuel up for another day.

Day Two Sessions include a deep dive into into “External influences on the logistics industry” including “How to grow airfreight in Germany” and an exclusive peek into the future Frankfurt CargoHub.
Closure of this two-day event today around 15:10.

Note that ACCF is being held on a street named after pioneering aviatrix Bessie Coleman. I would have attended this gathering if only to say that I spent time on the street where Bessie Coleman lives. More about Sweet Bessie here.
