AIRFREIGHT FORUM
Firstly, hear from Theo Triantafillides, the recently appointed new Head of Sales and Marketing for Qantas Freight, about innovative changes in their business and the resulting benefits for industry.
e-AWB! Do you know that airlines will require all consolidations to be booked using e-AWB from 2014? Are you aware of what this is all about and what you will be required to do? KLM in Amsterdam and Cathay Pacific in Hong Kong have already made it mandatory to book using e-AWB. IATA will present full details of e-AWB and e-Freight updates using video enhanced by Stephane Parrenin Cargo Services Manager IATA Australia. Following this hear from Jackson Chan of Cathay Pacific on their experiences in going fully e-AWB in Hong Kong earlier this year.
Presenters:
Theo Triantafillides, Head of Sales and Marketing, Qantas Freight
Stephane Parrenin, Cargo Services Manager, IATA Australia
Jackson Chan, Cargo Services Manager E-Freight, Cathay Pacific Cargo, Hong Kong

GETTING TO HAMILTON ISLAND
Please note, the conference is being held in the school holiday period for NSW and Victoria and flights to and from the island in this period will be very busy!
So please book your flights early !
Both Jetstar and Virgin Blue have daily direct flights from Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane direct into Hamilton Island. Alternatively, you can fly to Proserpine (Whitsunday Coast) and connect to a Ferry transfer to the Island.
GOLF
Once again, golf is proving popular and if you are interested, don't forget to book you place. The course was designed by champion golfer, Peter Thomson and is the only championship island golf course in Australia.
If you are interested in sponsoring a golf hole, there are only a few of these still available so don't hesitate to contact the Conference Secretariat to reserve your company team.
ACCOMMODATION
As it is school holiday time, accommodation will fill quickly and alternatives to the main resort are limited during this period. Book early to avoid disappointment. We still have some rooms available for the conference, so please let us know your requirements so we can confirm a booking for you.
