5th WCO Global AEO Conference

PRESS RELEASE

5th WCO Global AEO Conference postponed to February 2021

 

20 February 2020
Brussels, Belgium

Since the first edition of WCO Global AEO Conference held in Korea in 2012, the World Customs Organization (WCO) has brought together Customs administrations, the business community, policymakers, legal and academic representatives, as well as other government bodies to build capacity, enhance cooperation and foster a global public-private dialogue for the implementation of AEO Programmes worldwide.

To ensure the success of the Conference in view of the prevailing global circumstances, Dubai Customs and the UAE Federal Customs Authority proposed to the WCO to postpone the Conference that was planned from 10 to 12 March 2020. After careful consideration, the WCO Secretariat agreed to the request of the host administration to reschedule the 5th WCO Global AEO Conference to 15 - 17 February 2021, in Dubai, UAE.

The new dates will further align the Conference with the Expo 2020 Dubai, a World Expo which opens more opportunities to learn and experience the numerous successful practices of countries around the world, at all fronts including economy, culture, innovation, and many others.

Cognizant of the impact that this will have on participants, speakers, sponsors and exhibitors, we are convinced that everyone will understand this decision and we seize this opportunity to invite you all to save the new dates and join us in Dubai in 2021.
