With the strong pulse of the world economy, logistics and transport intertwine like meticulously woven threads, forming a globally connected network.

The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT), founded in the United Kingdom in 1919 and awarded the Royal Charter in 1926, has accumulated professionalism for a hundred years, and its global network has spanned more than 40 countries and regions, bringing together industry elites, academic leaders and corporate giants to lead the trend of the industry's development.

In May 2005, following the approval from the National Development and Reform Commission and the registration with the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the China Communications and Transportation of Association officially ascended to the status of a national member within CILT International. This signified the establishment of the CILT China branch, which opened an important window for the international development of China's logistics and transportation industry.

CILT’s annual international convention, serving as the uppermost platform for elite exchange and collaboration in logistics and transport, features a suite of core activities. These include thematic conferences driving industry advancement, the WiLAT Conference championing female leadership, the Next Generation Conference nurturing future industry leaders and innovators, and gala dinners fostering profound exchanges. Each annual conference is a manifestation of the spirit of innovation and international vision, continually steering industry trends, injecting fresh vigor into international collaboration, deepening alliances between multinational corporations and burgeoning market players, and fostering enduring friendship among members.

In June this year, capitalizing on the momentum of the Langfang International Economic and Trade Fair, the CILT International Convention 2024 will take centre stage in Langfang, China. This momentous occasion represents not only an international convention , but also a watershed moment for international cooperation and development. Under the theme of Leading the Sustainable Development in Global Logistics and Transport, this year’s convention will feature an array of cornerstone events, including an opening ceremony and global supply chain sustainability conference, the International Modern Commerce and Trade Logistics Cooperation Summit, the CILT International Supply Chain Education Cooperation Forum, and a diverse array of specialized sessions, networking dinners, business excursions, and cross-cultural business exchanges. During the International Conference, the "Top 50 Global Logistics Enterprises" list will be released for the first time, which adopts a multi-dimensional, professional and transparent evaluation system, and will comprehensively show the deep insight and forward-looking thinking on the development trend of the global logistics industry.

This is an event like the Olympics for the global logistics and transport industry, an international stage to show the power, wisdom and dreams of the industry. It will serve as a forum for profound dialog under the global purview, a nexus for innovative ideation and a enriching odyssey of cultural experience.

This June, let's meet in Langfang to start a new chapter of international cooperation and development.
