TIACA Executive Summit 2026 kicks off today

The three-day event will bring together air cargo leaders, airlines, logistics companies and policymakers in Warsaw to discuss opportunities and developments shaping the global cargo industry, including e-commerce growth, artificial intelligence, digitalisation, sustainability and supply chain efficiency.

Hosted by LOT Polish Airlines and Port Polska, the event comes at a time when the air cargo sector is dealing with fast changes in trade routes, rising e-commerce demand, and wider use of digital tools and AI in logistics.

Industry executives and experts will discuss how automation, AI and data-driven logistics can help companies improve supply chain resilience, reduce operational delays and respond faster to disruptions. Sessions will also focus on changing market conditions, financial flows and operational pressures across the cargo sector.

The summit will include keynote discussions, roundtables and networking sessions involving airlines, freight companies, logistics providers and technology firms.

Sustainability is expected to remain a major focus area, with discussions covering emissions reduction and greener logistics operations. The programme also includes the TIACA Sustainability Awards.

Besides, as part of the Keynote Speaker Series, Olivia Kinghorst, former CNN Money TV anchor and senior editor at Forbes in Switzerland will address themes such as leadership, innovation, and navigating disruption in a fast-changing global environment.

“The air cargo industry is navigating unprecedented change, and leadership has never been more critical. By launching this speaker series, we aim to inspire our community with perspectives that go beyond our sector. Olivia’s session will provide valuable insights that leaders can immediately apply in their organisations,” said, Glyn Hughes, TIACA Director General.
