This year the annual flagship Cool Logistics Global meeting takes place online in October, hosted once again by the Port of Rotterdam.

The 13th Cool Logistics Global is being organised with the motto “Looking Back and Building Forward”. In a period which saw industries and businesses being handicapped by a worldwide pandemic, the Cool Logistics Global has been marked only international event in the entire year for the perishables trade, cold chain and reefer shipping community. The event has been organised to encourage networking among peers and colleagues, allow for innovations to be exhibited and conduct conferences on the latest developments around the world.

Cool Logistics invites people to join the team and global community of decision-makers, experts, explorers and innovators. With a stellar line-up of speakers, the three-day online event is intended to bring together the international cold chain logistics community.

The event will be held online from 19th to 21st October 2021. The conferences will involve topics such as “Global Perishables Trades, Reefer Shipping & Cold Chain Logistics Outlook”, “Integration, Consolidation, Customer-Centricity & Digitalisation of Cold Chain”, “Global Access to Healthcare – Pharma, Medicines & Vaccines” and “Reducing Waste & Minimising Environmental Impact”.
