Barcelona will host the FIATA-REU Field Meeting from 9 to 11 June 2027, alongside SIL Barcelona. The event is expected to bring freight forwarders, logistics operators, cargo agents, shippers, ports, airports and other supply-chain employers together in the Catalan capital.
For the logistics workforce, the meeting is relevant because FIATA’s international work includes professional training and the development of industry standards. Those activities support the skills needed to manage freight documentation, cross-border procedures and increasingly digital logistics operations.
A forum for international expertise
The Consorci de la Zona Franca de Barcelona secured the event, which was announced during FIATA’s 2026 World Congress in Milan. Its joint scheduling with SIL Barcelona is intended to attract knowledge, talent and international connections to the city.
FIATA represents 106 national associations from nearly 150 countries, more than 50,000 companies and over 4,700 individual members. The federation works on international freight rules, recognised documentation, digitalisation and professional development, while cooperating with bodies including the WTO and IATA.
For people working in logistics, the Barcelona programme should provide opportunities to exchange practices with colleagues across forwarding, transport, ports and airports. The supplied information does not announce specific vacancies, recruitment schemes or named training courses, but it identifies skills development as a continuing part of FIATA’s role.
The event will also reinforce Barcelona’s position as a logistics gateway for Southern Europe and as a link with markets across the Mediterranean, Africa, Asia and Latin America.
