The One-to-One Meeting Scheduler for Globalia’s 6th Annual Meeting will Open in Three Weeks

Posted on | by admin

The one-to-one meetings with network partners are the core networking activity of the event that allows the members to fortify business relationships with trusted logistics partners

The one-to-one meetings at Globalia’s 6th Annual Meeting serve as the cornerstone of the event, providing members with the opportunity to strengthen business relationships with trusted network partners. This structured networking initiative allows delegates to connect with reliable freight forwarders from around the world, fostering collaboration and driving new business opportunities.

The meeting scheduler will officially open on 2nd April for agents who have applied and paid for Priority Access. The following day, on 3rd April, the scheduler will be available to all other attendees. On that date, Globalia’s Head Office will send delegates an email with a link and personal login details, allowing them to book meetings directly for the event, which will take place from 3rd to 5th May 2025.

Using Globalia’s user-friendly online scheduler, each delegate can book up to 21 meetings in advance and maximize their networking potential. To optimize scheduling, participants are encouraged to review the delegate list and company profiles before the scheduler opens, allowing them to prioritize key connections. The scheduler also offers additional features to enhance the meeting experience. Globalia’s team has prepared a guide for delegates to walk them through essential steps and tips to ensure they make the most of their one-on-one meetings.

By accessing the Scheduler, delegates can download their personalized agendas, ensuring they have a clear overview of their scheduled meetings. To make the most of the event, Globalia recommends securing as many meeting slots as possible, ensuring ample opportunities to establish valuable partnerships.

Delegates can schedule the meetings two weeks before the event, once the scheduler opens. They will receive an email containing their login credentials, allowing them to book meetings using two methods. They can search for a company by entering the country in which it is based or select a time slot and then choose the company with whom they wish to meet.

Once a meeting is booked, it is automatically confirmed—there is no need for additional confirmation from the invited company. The scheduler will display all scheduled meetings, including invitations received from other participants.

Additionally, delegates can click the “Block” button on the scheduler to manage their availability. This will prevent scheduling of any meeting during those times. If a preferred company has no available slots, delegates should reach out directly to arrange a meeting during coffee breaks, lunch, the cocktail reception, or the gala dinner.

Globalia’s one-to-one meetings provide an unparalleled opportunity for freight forwarders to establish and strengthen professional partnerships. With the scheduler opening soon, participants should prepare in advance to ensure they make the most of this exclusive networking experience.
