The man who has been the singular Pied Piper of
local air cargo clubs, trade associations like AfA and IATA, CNS and now
FIATA and seems to always be there for everybody else, Airforwarders Association’s
Brandon Fried is pictured in an endearing moment at home with Rhodes the
grandson blessing delivered to Brandon and Kim 14 months ago. But
while “baby, its cold outside” this week and into the foreseeable
future Brandon Is back on the road again, doing what he has done best for
decades, appearing out on the hustings in support of industry organizations
and air cargo clubs. Brandon Fried brings to these gathering leading edge
news and views, whilst supporting the proposition that organized air cargo
activities anywhere in the world are a worthwhile endeavor and deserve his
full support. Today January 30, Brandon appears
at the JFK Air Cargo Association luncheon in New York and next week Brandon
addresses the Orlando Florida Air Cargo Association Wednesday February 5.
Ask him what are the speaking subjects and his answer
is immediate: “As you know, there’s
much in our industry to talk about.” Brandon says gently. When
it comes to what’s hot, what’s not and what is the latest news,
this industry advocate arrives and delivers the goods to his audience like
a breath of fresh air. All of this activity
and a very busy schedule continues whilst Brandon is readying AirCargo 2025,
the must-to-attend, big kahuna air cargo industry gathering scheduled for
Dallas, Texas March 2-5. Before all of that,
the erstwhile Brandon shares some thoughts: “I’m
honored to play a role in the success of our Annual Air Cargo Conference
that has been a cornerstone event in our industry for over 30 years,”
he declared. “Our success is driven by
a dedicated group of partner organizations, including the Airforwarders
Association. the Air & Expedited Motor Carriers Association and Airports
Council International – North America. All
have worked tirelessly to make this a must-attend event. “Also,
I’m thrilled to share that we are surpassing exhibition hall and sponsorship
expectations and are on track to set a record for attendee numbers—making
this year’s conference bigger and better than ever. “It’s
an exciting time, and I can’t wait to welcome everyone to Dallas in
March!”, Brandon Fried exclaimed. GDA
