The competition provides invaluable experience and exposure, paving the way for these talented individuals to shape the industry’s future positively. This year, we are thrilled to explore the Region Americas, hosting the regional winners at the FIATA World Congress in Panama.
Panama, with its strategic location as a nexus between North and South America, is a pivotal player in global trade and logistics. The FIATA World Congress in Panama offers the regional winners a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the heart of the freight forwarding community. They will gain firsthand insights into the Panamanian logistics industry, enhancing their understanding of global supply chains and exploring new opportunities for collaboration and growth.
By participating in this event, the YLP Award winners will not only further their careers but also contribute to the broader logistics community. FIATA and TT Club are honoured to support these young professionals and eagerly anticipate the innovative contributions they will bring to the industry.
