Logistics is a global game. IWLA is committed to helping its members keep abreast of international news affecting the industry and facilitating the exchange of ideas about best business practices. Through its affiliation with the International Federation of Warehousing Logistics Associations (IFWLA), IWLA provides its members with information and networking opportunities in Europe, Asia, Latin America and the rest of the world. In addition, IWLA communicates with peer organizations in other countries to facilitate global business, best practices and the discussion of trends and issues. The Federation holds an annual convention each year in a different part of the world. These meetings are very beneficial for developing relationships and expanding the horizons of cultural exchange.
