WFN MEMBER MEETINGS
WFN meetings, in person, are held annually to provide an
invaluable forum for the exchange of business between WFN members. For
one set of travel expenses, delegates have the unique opportunity to
attend 1-2-1 meetings with fellow members, in order to generate new
business.
Our next meeting will be held in Costa Rica 18 - 20 June 2023. This is the perfect opportunity for our members to meet in person, sharing both 1-to-1 appointments in the meeting room and social events in the evenings. If you would like to join our network and be a part of this great event, please complete the WFN Application Form or email us for more information: kelly@worldfreightnetwork.com
As well as the formal setting of the meeting room, the informal welcome reception, gala and farewell dinner provide ample opportunity for members to get to know one another and build trust. The meetings enable bonds to be formed and strengthened from year to year, leading to more and more business.

"Once again the place was fantastic, better than last year but not as good as the next year, as WFN Meetings are better and better for the place every year, but above all for business exchange.”
“I didn’t know what to expect as a new Member. I am amazed how much of a family feel WFN has. The team feel, the love and joy shared, it is all so special. I am so happy to have found WFN this year and I will definitely come to all meetings within my power – it will be my honour."
“Once again the place was fantastic, better than last year but not as good as the next year, as WFN Meetings are better and better for the place every year, but above all for business exchange.”
“As usual, this WFN meeting was perfectly organised. We find that the interest of our fellow members is increasing year after year. No suggestions for improvement, we find it perfect as it is.”
“Again a great, successful meeting. Always a good opportunity to meet all the fellow members face-to-face. Thank you Kelly and team for this nice setup.”
“I thought the last meeting was good, but YET AGAIN, WFN has done it again!!! Every year it gets better and better! FABULOUS Kelly and team and thanks.”
“This meeting is showing very positive energy positive attitude to stay together in WFN. We have been creating trust and commitments and values every year but this time it is an extremely better response. Maybe due to the discipline we have in WFN. If we prove our commitments, I am sure we all will have a different mindset to commit more and achieve more by the next Meeting.”
“Actually I regret not being able to attend the last two meetings. I find the meetings very helpful in improving our aims for the network. Nothing better than the personal one to one meetings.”
“So good to have so many new Members – fresh faces are good.”
“Excellent meeting – great ambience. For those who never showed, they really missed a special conference.”
“I didn’t know what to expect. A new Member. I am amazed how much of a family feel WFN has. Yes, I belong to WCA, but its meetings are nothing like WFNs. The team feel, the love and joy shared, it is all so special. I am so happy to have found WFN this year and I will definitely come to all meetings within my power – it will be my honour.”
“It’s great to meet people face to face. Building relationships and long term mutually beneficial trust and business traffic.”
“I would say that the WFN Meeting is very well promoted and organised. More delegates have participated. It is becoming to be more exciting.”
“What a great choice for next year’s meeting. I love the resort vibe that we have now chosen for our meetings. Being part of WFN is a pleasure that I will never want to give up. Even when I retire, I will try to join the meetings.”
“Love the venue. Continue to hold the meetings at resort style areas. Perfect organisation and scheduling.”
“Meeting table schedules were well planned and excellent. Met new friends. It’s very nice this time and a good hotel.”
“It’s not just the fun I come for – although the entertainment is exceptional - I’ll be honest, I just come for the business. To be dealing with company owners and top Managers makes the time useful. This is what makes it for me. My business is growing as a direct result of the meetings, so thank you very much for arranging the meetings for us.”
“Excellent! 1st time: enjoyed it very much. Established great contacts. Looks very positive for future business prospects. Keen to get back and start some dialogue. Very well organised.”
“Love the bow Kelly. I can tell you teach martial arts. I did Karate when I was a younger man and I remember the discipline it instilled in me. Love the way you keep us all in line. We’re spend our lives telling people what to do and it is refreshing to be told what to do for once – but you do it in a nice way. If I was younger I’d come to London to attend one of your classes. The meeting was a wonderful success. I am proud to be part of WFN – it is unique, it is special and we must tell all our agents to join us! Although not too many of them as we don’t want to lose our intimacy.”
“HOORAH WFN – you keep delivering again and again. We say it can’t better and it does! HOW DOES SHE DO IT?!!!! WFN Members – you are my friends and you are all welcome at my home whenever you visit my country."
“It’s a great thing to meet all the members and find out new business opportunities. The positive atmosphere creates a closer relation to make business in the future.”
During the Covid period, we have held successful online meetings, for our members to strengthen their relationships and exchange business, with our WFN meeting system allowing delegates to book dedicated 1-2-1 meetings together.
Virtual meetings can generate business and help build trust between partners, and are a great way to develop connections whilst travel is still restricted. With no hotel or flight costs, or visas to arrange, the online meeting is an affordable and convenient way of meeting forwarders worldwide from the comfort of your home or office.
Here are some member comments about our Online Meetings:
“The Online meet was fantastic and gave a wonderful opportunity to catch up with all friends across the globe.”
“This was an amazing online meeting, very useful to feel that we are not alone and deal with professional, trusted and reliable partners who care about our business together.”
“First of all many Congratulations to Kelly & her team for a successful virtual conference and given us opportunity to see each other :) I was glad to see our WFN family members after such a long time that I was missing them so much, shared so many business inquires, future plans, sales leads... it’s time to support each other in this pandemic. Hopefully, Covid situation gets better in comings days and we’ll meet each other face to face.”
"The online meeting was really great, we had some good business to discuss, as well as catching up with our friends. For such a low cost, it's highly recommended to boost your business leads and develop relationships."
