The International Air Cargo Association (TIACA) and the Ministry of Transport of the Republic of Kazakhstan together with the Civil Aviation Committee and the Aviation Administration of Kazakhstan (AAK), have developed and announced the conference program and venue for the TIACA Event – Central Asia, June 19-21, in Astana, Kazakhstan.
The event will kick off with a cultural tour followed by an evening reception for attendees. A robust conference program has been developed and is aimed at not only supporting the development of Kazakhstan as an air cargo hub – “the Silk Road in the Sky” but aims to cover topics that the industry faces globally. Key topics that will be discussed include: a new vision for economic prosperity, industry regulatory framework and multi-modal logistics and the TransCaspian corridor; cargo industry overview, building air cargo hubs, air cargo trends, eCommerce, sustainability and SAF. Kazakh, English and Russian translation services will be provided to ensure all participants are able to participate fully at the event.
The TIACA Event – Central Asia will be held at the Hilton Astana situated steps from Mega Silk Way shopping and dining area and five kilometers from Bayterek Tower, offering panoramic views over Astana. Our hosts have arranged a special discounted rate of $130 USD for the attendees during their stay. In addition, our host has graciously extended an invitation to all attendees to learn more about the region through complimentary pre-event tours of Astana city and Nur Alem, the future Energy Museum.

The conference program ensures we are delivering a first class experience for attendees while showcasing the region and underlining the importance that air cargo has within the global framework. We look forward to drawing the industry to Astana.” Steven Polmans, TIACA Chair
