5 Things Freight Forwarders Love About Freightcamp (And Why Both Veterans and Newcomers Keep Coming Back)

In a global industry built on trust, agility, and personal relationships, Freightcamp stands out as far more than just another logistics event. It has become a touchpoint for many freight professionals PANCO members, and an unforgettable discovery for newcomers. 

Here’s what makes Freightcamp special, with real voices from our global community explaining why this event stays with you long after it ends. 

 

1. It’s Not Just a Conference—It’s a Community

Freightcamp cultivates more than contacts, it promotes genuine connection. Whether you’re returning for your fifth year or joining us for the first time, you’ll find an environment where people come first. 

“Freightcamp is one of the best logistics conferences any business can attend. The network and friendships I was able to build in 3 days is phenomenal. And it’s because of the carefully thought-out event planning.”
— Isaac Adjei, Harmony Maritime (Ghana) 

“The Freightcamp is an amazing few days. The PANCO team really makes it feel like a family event. I started knowing just a few people and by the end, I felt like I knew everyone. We’re already in talks for business, and just in general. I’d suggest everyone do the team building, it was great fun.”
— Arman Muhovic, Northline (Australia) 

“The vibe within the group is really exceptional. Business connections became friendships, even when there was no direct business. That means you’re creating a fantastic environment to network and make friends.”
— Teun Messemaker, Easyfresh Nederland BV (Netherlands) 

Every element of the event, from the activities to the layout, is designed to help people meet, share, and collaborate authentically. 

 

2.  Business Happens, Naturally

Freightcamp brings together top-level decision-makers from our logistics family. But what makes it special is how easily business opportunities flow from organic conversations and shared experiences. 

“I had the pleasure of attending Freightcamp 2025 in Dubai, where I had the opportunity to meet and connect with numerous business partners. This event was instrumental in strengthening existing partnerships and exploring new business opportunities.”
— Paulo Paiva, Geocargo Transitários (Portugal) 

“Freightcamp has played a pivotal role in helping us build stronger relationships with our partners. The friendly atmosphere that Freightcamp fosters has been instrumental in creating a collaborative environment.”
— Ali Qasim, Colbeck & Clarke Inc. (Canada) 

No pressure. No hard sells. Just real people, real logistics, and real potential. 

 

3. Personal and Professional Connections Go Hand-in-Hand

Freightcamp isn’t about separating business from people, it’s about blending the two. Between structured 1-to-1s, casual coffee breaks, and lively evening socials, professional connections often deepen into trusted partnerships. 

“Once again, PANCO has proven that a meeting of this network’s members is more than just a conference and an exchange of business cards.”
— Ewa Szostak, Pol-Mare (Poland) 

“Working with partners who value a friendly, open atmosphere has helped create stronger relationships and a more enjoyable business experience.”
— Ali Qasim, Colbeck & Clarke Inc. (Canada) 

Relationships formed here go beyond logistics, they support long-term cooperation, trust, and even friendship. 

 

4. Global Insights Shared Through Real Conversations

Freightcamp is a meeting point for freight forwarders from around the world who bring their own regional experience, market knowledge, and logistical know-how. Whether you’re discussing trends over lunch, sharing a case study in a 1to1 meeting, or exchanging ideas during an evening gathering, insights flow freely and authentically. 

The environment encourages meaningful peer-to-peer exchange—where every interaction becomes a chance to learn something new, compare strategies, or discover fresh opportunities across borders. 

“Freightcamp allows business owners or decision makers to gather and exchange business insights and opportunities!”
— David Cham, Global Container Freight (Singapore) 

“Freightcamp was one of the most interesting events of the year—great connections and interesting people.”
— Zakaria Salih, Ocean Bridge Shipping (Morocco) 

Whether it’s learning about trade developments in another continent or how fellow forwarders are implementing digital tools, members gain practical takeaways that can be applied directly to their own operations. 

 

 5. It Feels Like Coming Home—Even If It’s Your First Time

Many attendees say they come back for the people. And for first-time participants, the warm, welcoming spirit is felt from the first handshake. 

“Having been a member for some years, I want to thank the PANCO team for their professional organization. The high level of attendees makes the event truly valuable, and we always look forward to coming back each year.”
— Harj Binning, In Time Worldwide Express UK (United Kingdom) 

“My first time at the conference—loved the friendly and warm interaction between members. Thank you for a truly amazing experience.”
