31st International Road Transport Union (IRU) World Congress
Istanbul, Turkey - The event will be geared towards increasing road transport operators’ profitability, giving a valuable insight into the latest products and most up-to-date services available to the road transport industry, ranging from commercial vehicles to information technology equipment and software.
The LOGIST Road Transportation, Intermodal Systems, Loading, Unloading, Stowage, Storing and Logistics Industry Fair, to be held simultaneously with the 31st IRU World Congress under the auspices of TOBB and organised by Tüyap Fairs and Exhibitions Inc, will attract sector professionals to Lüfti Kirdar Congress and Exhibition Centre in Istanbul on 14-16 May 2008.
This fair is a traditional platform for important developments, cooperation and industrial expansion for Turkey and has become a major information hub for various logistics systems, alternative transportation channels and commercial solutions for road transport. Partners and visitors who operate in Turkey or neighbouring countries should not miss it!
Today, the search for efficient solutions in worldwide integrated transport systems – including road transport – is of prime importance. Professionals of the sector will debate topical issues in the context of the IRU Congress while enjoying a unique opportunity to meet with fair exhibitors who will present their state-of-the-art products, technologies and services.
Considering Turkey’s growing strategic role and geographical position in international transport systems, the synergy created by the simultaneous organisation of the IRU World Congress and the LOGIST fair will be beneficial for all exhibitors, delegates and visitors.
