The Conference brings together all stakeholders of global trade—supply chain professionals and other high-ranking officials to explore the challenges, opportunities, and way forward for global trade under the Authorized Economic Operator programme.
The Conference’s agenda will address such topics as security, risk management, customs clearance lifecycle, e-commerce integration, and new business models.
The upcoming edition of the Conference is held under the headline ‘AEO 2.0: Advancing Towards New Horizons for Sustainable and Secure Trade’ and will be attended by Sultan Bin Sulayem, DP World Group Chairman and CEO, CEO of Ports, Customs and Free Zone Corporation; Ahmed Mahboob Musabih, Director General of Dubai Customs, and Dr Kunio Mikuriya, Secretary General of the World Customs Organization among others.
“The AEO programme has grown markedly since it was first introduced in 2012, and we have witnessed the rapid development of national AEO programmes, mutual recognition agreements and other types of cooperation under the programme’s umbrella,” commented Dr. Mikuriya.
