First Annual Event
First Annual Event
On 6 June 2024, from 17:30 to 19:00, we hosted our first annual event at the SIL Conference in Barcelona. This milestone marked significant progress in the logistics and international trade sector. Held in a hybrid format, the event provided a platform to introduce PLIKA's core values, newly formed committees, and highlight the commitment of the Board directors and training centre to fostering knowledge exchange and experiences.
The event began with a warm welcome from President Eduard Rodés, Director of the Escola Europea – Intermodal Transport. Vice Presidents Ana Rumbeu, Director of Training at the Valenciaport Foundation, and Alaa Morsy, Dean at the Port Training Institute and Maritime Research and Consultation Centre, Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport, also delivered supportive messages. Their dedication set an inspiring tone for the event.
A highlight of the event was the introduction of PLIKA’s esteemed founding and regular members, including prominent figures such as Ms. Taheya Elsherbeny, Mr. Rami Seeman, Ms. Marta Miquel, Ms. Valeria Munar, Mr. Ramon Van Hall, Mr. Pim Oosterhoff, Mr. Adam Daoud, Mr. José Antonio Vásquez, Ms. Àngels Vives Serra, Mr. Jordi Font, Ms. Marisa Clavero, Mr. Elwyn Pitt, Mr. Rabih Sabra, Ms. Lidia Slawinska, and their dedicated PLIKERS.
The introduction of various committees—Promotion, Membership, Employment, Innovation, Technological, and Academic—was also a significant agenda of the event. These committees are set to play a crucial role in building a resilient educational collaborative network aimed at revolutionising the industry.
This inaugural event has laid the groundwork for greater unity and collaboration among diverse participants in the sector. Attendees had the opportunity to connect, share ideas, and establish a strong, cooperative community. The positive outcomes and future prospects from this initiative have sparked anticipation for the next steps of this collaborative educational platform and a strong commitment to deliver another successful annual event.
