WCAworld is expanding its global footprint with the launch of the WCAworld China International Logistics conference, the rebranded 22nd edition of the longstanding SINO Conference in Shanghai (20–23JUN26). The shift aims to open the event to a broader international audience while maintaining WCA’s signature high‑quality format of structured one‑on‑one meetings, networking, and partnership development. The conference remains a key platform for Chinese logistics firms to reach global partners and for international forwarders to source reliable counterparts in China, with the China International Freight Forwarders Association (CIFA) continuing its central role. Crucially, the event is open to the entire industry, not just WCAworld members, reinforcing its position as a major, accessible global networking hub in China’s evolving supply‑chain landscape.
Dan March, WCAworld CEO, revealed: “We’re revamping the conference, not just changing the name, to raise the bar – bringing more of the right partners into the room, especially from China, while presenting the same standards and experience that define every WCAworld event.”
Chairman of WCAworld, David Yokeum, commented: “When we started the SINO conference over twenty years ago, we were one of the first to bring international logistics networking into the country and many of our members have enjoyed fruitful business as a result. These changes allow us to keep that impetus going for the next twenty years and drive even more partnerships in the industry.”
Earlier this month, WCA reported strong success of its WCA Worldwide Conference 2026, which was held in Singapore 9-13MAR26. Despite the huge disruption and fall-out caused by U.S. operations on 28FEB26, the conference still saw 4388 freight forwarding attendees from 109 countries, 230 exhibition booths, and more than 80,000 one-on-one business meetings.
WCS Chairman, David Yokeum, stated: “Once again it was truly a privilege to see the resilience and adaptability of independent forwarders. Seeing thousands of the world’s best logistics companies overcome such difficulties and create millions of dollars of new business was awe-inspiring and a testament to the quality and can-do attitude that typifies our community. If COVID taught us anything it’s that even if the world stops, global trade doesn’t and providing the best platform for SME companies to thrive is always our goal.” CEO, Dan March, added: “The response from members was truly humbling as they pulled out all the stops to be in Singapore. Thanks to their incredible ability to adapt to every challenge, the Conference was again a resounding success with almost 90% of those booked able to attend. Thousands of our members from over 100 countries, with different politics and religions, came together as business partners and friends during the week providing a stark contrast to events elsewhere in the world.”
