Conference hosted by the Community
Christian Riege presents keynote at the Air Cargo Conference 2021
After a pandemic-related hiatus, the Air Cargo Community is hosting its 6th annual Air Cargo Conference in Frankfurt. On August 25th and 26th, academics and industry experts will provide insights into digital innovations and trends in air cargo handling during the on-site two-day event. On the second day, Christian Riege, Managing Director at Riege Software, will deliver a keynote speech addressing the necessity of cross-system cooperation between all parties involved in global logistics.
The Community in Frankfurt
The Frankfurt-based Air Cargo Community is a network of freight forwarders, airlines and service providers around Frankfurt Airport dedicated to promoting efficient handling processes with the aim of maintaining the airport’s leading position as a major air cargo hub in the future. The annual Air Cargo Conference brings together experts from the fields of transportation, software development and science, presenting exciting ideas on innovations in the logistics market and discussing future projects. This year’s conference is organized by Air Cargo Community Frankfurt, Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences, Fraunhofer IML, HAUS61 and Hessen Aviation.
Building bridges
On the second day of the event, Christian Riege will address in his keynote speech the need to build bridges between current systems and participants in logistics in order to transport air cargo more efficiently and economically.
“Isolated solutions serving only fragments of the operations within global logistics omit multiple processes before and after their application. One holistic solution building bridges between systems and stakeholders is in perpetuity more efficient, more economic and thus more sustainable.”
Riege Software will build an entirely different kind of bridge by sponsoring the lunch break on the second day of the event, which will, so to speak, offer a welcomed platform for personal exchange which has not been possible for a long time.
Results instead of titles
Dr. Tobias Riege, CEO of Riege Software, has been a member of the board of Air Cargo Community Frankfurt since 2018 and, upon taking office, had set himself the task of embracing the leap of faith and actively supporting the association’s interests and goals. The promised results were already delivered, and the challenge now is to face the new demands in transportation and to find common solutions for digital processes in air cargo handling. The Air Cargo Conference in the heart of the ‘Main Hub’ of air cargo in Germany at Frankfurt Airport offers an eminently suitable discussion platform for this.
