F&L is an active, dynamic community that works very hard year-round to deliver value. Active members and their colleagues have opportunities to strengthen personal and business performance:

1. Attend two F&L meetings each year (May/Nov) for interaction, debate and networking. Every meeting has a theme, roundtable debates, member and speaker presentations, Think Tank, working groups, and networking events.  Conference agendas and locations are driven by what is interesting to members. 
2. Become involved in project groups to look in depth at a topic of particular interest to you. Teams evolve cross-industry and cross-border, and benefit from wide experience of members.  
3. Provide feedback to ensure F&L delivers. You will achieve more if you give input into conference agendas / objectives / locations and get involved with the Forum’s activities throughout the year.

1. The annual corporate membership fee of €1,950 is invoiced and due in January. Members joining midway through a year pay pro-rata.  This fee has not increased for more than a decade and F&L tries to avoid increases.  You are encouraged to involve your team members in F&L as this increases the benefit and you do not pay more.  
2. In-person meetings are heavily subsidised by sponsors and F&L.  Members pay €400 pp  to help cover costs of catering, venues and so on.  Non-members pay more.  F&L is non-profit and any surplus funds are used to subsidise future conferences / organise events and visits for members.
3. You must give minimum 3 months’ notice to resign as a member – 30 September is the latest date by which you may resign for the following year which begins 1 January.
4. Logistics service provider and other companies not classified as “shippers” must be bring at least one shipper into membership within the first 12 months to ensure the focus of the F&L community remains broad.
5. You should abide by the Articles of Association as they currently stand with particular reference to articles 6 and 8 – see F&L Articles of Association – English
