After a very successful conference in New Delhi last month, we now need to turn our attention to start planning for next year’s 2024 conference and with this in mind, we would like your feed back on the possible venue.

We had quite a few suggestions from those members present at the ASA meeting and have now narrowed this down to a short list of possible venues. These are as follows in alphabetical order

1, Bangkok – Thailand   2. Budapest – Hungary   3. Johannesburg – S. Africa  4.  City ? -Poland

Please send me your first and second choice only to robert@asanetwork.org and send these as soon as possible, please note I will not be sending reminders unfortunately if you don’t reply to this quickly then you will lose the opportunity of your vote helping to select the venue for 2024.

Let’s make this a popular venue selected by the majority of our members.

Many thanks

Best regards

ASA Network

ASA Draft email recommendation

Hi all, At the recent ASA Conference in New Delhi we discussed with attending members helping to develop new members for ASA Network so we could always ensure a higher attendance at our annual conference even though this one had over 70 members attending.

We discussed at the meeting asking all members to send out one (1) or two (2) emails each month to reliable agents that you have or are dealing with outside of ASA Network recommending they consider joining ASA.

It was agreed it might be helpful if I drafted out an email of recommendation you could copy and use. This I have done below and don’t forget for every new member you recommend that joins you will receive Euros 200 as a thank you.

When sending your email if it helps just put me in cc robert@asanetwork.org and I will follow these up for you and you will still be credited for these as your recommendation.

Draft.

Dear …. I would like to take this opportunity to tell you about a friendly family style Freight Network we belong to called ASA Network. We find the network very useful, especially as they have a restricted membership of 2 members per City, it makes more exclusive for its members.

Presently they have approx. 130 members worldwide so they offer good coverage, and I wondered if this might be of interest to you to join ASA Network, you can visit their website on www.asanetwork.org  please let me know if this would be of interest to you.

Many thanks

Best regards

Hi all, I would just like to take a few minutes to share some of the experiences we have come across in obtaining a visa to attend this year’s ASA Conference.

Firstly, it’s very important you double check with your local Indian Embassy to see what the regulations from your country are as they vary a lot from country to country.

Therefore, it’s very important you check with you local Indian Embassy first, as from most countries a visa will be required before arrival.  We have been told the average time to get a visa is 3-4 weeks unless you use an express service (not available from all countries).  If you need a letter of invitation for your visa application, please request these from Roy Loken and Cargomar our hosts for this year’s meeting.

Finally, for those of you who have not yet made your booking to attend this year’s ASA conference please do so now, as we have a commitment with the hotel to hold our block bookings at special rate for only until August and now it’s already July. See you there it’s going to be a great meeting with special half day tour included

Many thanks
