The ACE Air Cargo Event 2025, taking place from 8 to 11 September in Liège, will bring together over 300 delegates and top-level speakers to explore the future of the air cargo logistics and freight forwarding industry sectors, crossborder e-Commerce and supply chain innovation.
This year’s programme will showcase expert insights across key industry sectors and verticals, including SME forwarders and consolidators, pharma, perishables, e-Commerce, FinTech, AI and airline-GSSA partnerships.
Confirmed participants include prominent voices from IATA, TIACA, FIATA, leading airlines, top forwarders and next-generation solution providers.
“Liège has firmly established itself as a leading European air cargo hub,” said Frederic Brun, head of cargo at Liege Airport. “From major cargo airlines and global eCommerce giants like Amazon, Alibaba, Temu, and Shein to specialised sectors such as Pharma and Live Animal logistics, LGG continues to grow with excellence. We’re proud to host ACE 2025 and look forward to welcoming the international logistics community to our home base.”
Highlights of ACE 2025 include:
• Conference panels, fireside chats, and masterclasses on air cargo market outlooks, supply chain resilience, pharma and perishables, eCommerce growth, and M&A trends.
• One-to-one business meetings powered by the ACE networking app.
• Gala Dinner & Excellence Awards.
• Premium networking experiences.
For the first time, OPENeX, the annual conference of the NeX eCommerce Logistics Hub, will be fully integrated into the ACE program, culminating with a dedicated eCommerce Day on September 11. Co-hosted with ACE, OPENEX will feature keynotes from global e-logistics leaders and disruptors; interactive sessions on digital commerce, customs, tech and fulfilment; new business models and supply chain innovations from the cross-border eCom space.
“ACE is not your typical trade show,” said Christos Spyrou, co-organiser of the event. “It’s where freight forwarders, airlines, tech innovators, air cargo solutions providers and eCom disruptors meet face-to-face to build partnerships and do real business. With OPENEX joining us this year, the opportunity for collaboration has never been greater.”
