ACE has always been synonymous with exclusivity and top-class quality, gathering select industry leaders to do business in a safe and comfortable environment.

Both ACE2016 and ACE2018 were held in Shanghai, China, and its biannual presence, which was scheduled to move to Istanbul in 2020, was interrupted by COVID-19.

With some travel limitations still in place for Asia in 2022, ACE has now relocated to one of the most promising air cargo hubs, Abu Dhabi, in December 2023.

The key focus for the previous two editions was quality networking, exceptional social activities, and face-to-face scheduled meetings. This year, there will be a stronger emphasis on the conference agenda to complement the winning event formula.

The past two events gathered 200 attendees, representing freight forwarders, airlines, GSAs, logistics solution providers, and consolidators, just to name a few.

Abu Dhabi is one of the world’s premier air cargo transportation hubs and an ideal destination for an event like ACE. Home to Etihad Airlines and Abu Dhabi Airports, which are global leaders in the air cargo industry, AUH is future-focused and provides ample opportunities for our industry players of any size to take on new business opportunities and strengthen current business relationships.

ACE is ambitions to be a global event, and from now on, it will take place yearly, focusing on a different region each time. We chose to organize ACE 2023 in December due to the milder climate of the UAE and to make sure no other major air cargo events were taking place around the same time.

ACE 2023 is a by-invitation-only event that attracts air cargo professionals and key stakeholders from around the globe, for three days of meaningful dialogue and networking.

By limiting or “invitation-only” attendance, ACE is able to assure the highest quality of the attendees, conversations discussed and right business opportunities at the event. Pure numbers are not part of our success criteria.

Upon your request, the ACE team will send you an invitation and the ACE registration form, with options for standard attendance, exhibition, or sponsorship.

The ACE program is engineered to meet attendees’ needs, featuring a conference agenda with executive presentations and panel discussions, deep dives into specific air cargo topics, technology innovations, informational sessions on regulatory changes and industry trends that may affect businesses, accompanied by practical hands-on workshops to equip companies with knowledge and the next steps. Our goal is to provide the highest quality information, inspire and mobilize the companies to make them more resilient and successful and address the key issues that keep the executives of our industry awake at night.

ACE brings exclusive networking experiences, including a powerful one-to-one meeting scheduler and exceptional social activities, in a friendly but elegant atmosphere, offering many opportunities to build and strengthen long-lasting partnerships.

The primary focus of ACE is to create an environment where air cargo industry professionals can collaborate to share ideas, experiences, and challenges and promote business conduct that is mutually beneficial.

As this is a collaboration between Air Cargo Plus and Change Horizon, you can expect the event to certainly reflect the DNA and values of each partnering organization. We are convinced ACE 2023 will be a unique event not only for its value to participants but also as a forward-looking and modern event in terms of organization style and event program.

While the event agenda is being elaborated now, we suggest catching up for more details in early September.

ACE stands for Air Cargo Event, and to make it sharper and more memorable, we branded it ACE. We do not compete with large-participation exhibitions and conferences; therefore, we aim to build an event brand that represents the best quality and a smaller, well-chosen audience with relevant and useful content at the conference.
