ATTENDANCE POLICY

The Australian Federation of International Forwarders (AFIF) hosts an Annual Conference which aims to provide educational and developmental opportunities to their members. These members (full or associate) can attend the event by paying the member fee.  AFIF recognises that some freight forwarders, who are not members, will still gain from attendance at this event.  They may attend by paying the non-member fee.  Members of the CBFCA and FTA may attend the conference, paying the member rate.
 
In addition, companies who make a supply to member companies (i.e. those not working directly for a freight forwarding company) are permitted to attend if they are sponsoring the event.  If the person is not working for a freight forwarding company directly then they are not permitted to register for the Conference unless they are part of a sponsoring company.
