Limited numbers of importers and exporters are invited to Freight News Thirsty’s, the popular industry networking cocktail function for the logistics and supply chain industry.

The event will take place on 14 March from 16:30 to 19:00 in Woodmead, Johannesburg.

If you would like to attend and you are a cargo owner who imports or exports to/from Southern Africa, please RSVP here.

Attendance is free, however the function is aimed at senior freight decision-makers.

Moreover, it's about networking without speeches, the most popular social get-together on Southern Africa's supply chain and logistics calendar.

Space is limited, and many freight forwarders and other industry experts have already confirmed for Freight News' easy-going Thirsty's function where trade facilitators meet and greet.
