Indonesia Transport & Logistics Expo

It's been a while since my last post. I had some terrible moment when my laptop broke down. Such a down point, now it's on again. I wish to talk about 2nd Indonesia Transport and Logistics Expo & Conference, 21 - 24 Agustus 2008, in Jakarta Convention Center.

Thanks to www.itl-indo.com for the poster.



This exhibition is considered as one of the largest in Indonesia for logistics industry. As we may all know that this industry has been growing enormously thanks to the invention of technology that helps us to deal with cargo to be more efficient and effective. This market keeps on growing, why? Simply every movement of resource or product will need this service. So it will never end. The only problem is the player. Whoever gives the best service will survive. It may not only one but only a few big player will survive. I think the one who could give a complete service, or you may say end-to-end-solution, is the winner.

So everyone in the logistics service provider, are you ready? Get your name card, get your partner, get your network, get your customer, but most of all, get yourself there!!!
