Came across an uplifting post on Linkedin and thought to share it here with some additional thoughts of the recently concluded AirCargo Conference in Dallas, Texas.
     “I love this show more and more every year! AirCargo 2025 has officially closed! It truly takes a village to produce this show.
     “Thank you to the entire planning committee for all your hard work on putting together everything from keynotes and sessions to mechanical bulls and karaoke.
     “Can’t wait to see all 1,029 of you again in Orlando, FL 2026!” Madison Luciani, Assistant Executive Director - ECA & AEMCA (Air and Expedited Motor Carriers Association) . . .
     Yes, Madison, this event that you worked on to make a success is for everyone and is a driving force in setting an example that the forwarders, truckers and airports can be friends and together deliver the goods for an All-American feeling of welcome.
     Love your show and especially the final dinner that invited guests to sing their hearts out or ride the mechanical bull.
     I thought, you don't have to know the language for the moon in the sky, the Tex/Mex on your plate or the look in every one’s eyes.
     Sweet indeed, and everyone getting out of bed that first day to Mikey From The North who keynoted about his life surrounded by vintage aircraft, having just completed the past six months of operating flights in 40 below weather in Northern Canada, where occasionally a live Buffalo would run alongside his drive time, was pitch perfect.
     AirCargo Conference 2025 was an absolute slammer (exclamation point) underscoring that this is a place, a sanctuary really, for all that is unique, informative, value for money and fun!
     Thanks for the memories . . .
