NETWORKING & EVENTS

 

Every year, the NCBFAA hosts two conferences to further the education of our industry representatives. In addition to the benefits of attending these conferences, NCBFAA members can also enjoy registration discounts. The NCBFAA also encourages members to participate in any of our numerous board and committee meetings held throughout the year.
 


NCBFAA Annual Conference: The NCBFAA Annual Conference, hosted in the spring in various locations around the U.S., brings together over 500 of the nation's leading customs brokers, freight forwarders and federal regulatory representatives to gain insight into industry developments and to connect with colleagues. By attending the NCBFAA Annual Conference, you have the opportunity to:

 

  • Learn from NCBFAA subject matter experts how to overcome industry challenges before your competitors do

  • Discover new products and services that can help your bottom line in the Exhibitor Market Place
  • Network with industry representatives from around the country 


 

Government Affairs Conference (GAC): The GAC takes place every fall in Washington, D.C. and is your opportunity to connect with members of Congress on the issues that face our industry today. By attending the GAC, you will have the chance to:

 

  • Attend timely sessions hosted by our nation's most respected industry experts
  • Advocate for the issues that greatly affect our industry today
  • Network with industry representatives from around the country

 

Board Meetings: NCBFAA Board of Directors meetings are held quarterly in various cities around the U.S. and coincide with either of our large conferences. All regular members are invited and encouraged to attend Board Meetings.
