Join - European Freight Leaders Forum

Application to Join F&L

Your contract with F&L

Welcome! You are choosing to join a broad, diverse & collaborative community of senior leaders across the international freight logistics community to help you assess your company’s strategic position, collaborate with customers, partners, suppliers & others to find solutions, and to proactively adopt strategies to help you stay ahead of the curve.

It is the company which is the member of F&L. The annual corporate membership fee of €2,500 is invoiced in December each year: this incudes unlimited licences for you and your teams. Members joining midway through a year pay pro-rata. The fee is set at a low level to make sure that it is not a barrier to joining. We can provide any paperwork that you need to register F&L in your system including the legal Articles of Association and antitrust documents.
Make sure that you & your colleagues are consistently at the table! The F&L community talks year-round. Online & in-person, in small topic-driven groups, as a full network, in your country and others, for brief exchange and for longer discussions. In-person meetings are interactive and focus on tangible outcomes for all. Online meetings are brief, focus on what’s happening today, and get straight to the point.
In-person meetings are heavily subsidised by sponsors and F&L. Members attending in-person meetings pay a cost recovery charge of €200 – €500 pp depending on the type of event, to help cover costs of catering, venues and so on. Non-members must pay more and are often not included. F&L is non-profit and any surplus funds are used to subsidise future conferences / organise events and visits for members.
Joining F&L is always intended with a long term participation in mind. Because we keep costs low and every member is important, we ask you give a minimum of 3 months’ notice to resign – therefore 30 September is the latest date by which you may resign for the following year which begins 1 January.
All members are expected to help involve shipper(s) – brand owners – to ensure the focus of the F&L community remains broad.

Who: This is for senior business leaders who want themselves and their teams to look outside their own organisations. Dialogue is market-led and current (today & next 3 years).

“Looking in your own business doesn’t tell you what’s around; it is my competitive advantage to know what is happening elsewhere and use that to enhance our strategy”

“Here I find the connections & the interest/support to help make things happen”

“These discussions open my mind and that’s when the good ideas come”

F&L maintains a mix and balance of members to ensure effective end-to-end logistics & supply chain discussion. Not every application can therefore be accepted, although we will do our best for you. Get in touch to discuss.
