In short: busy, dynamic, exceptionally well organized, and buzzing with energy.
This year’s edition of transport logistic, air cargo & project cargo Americas—organized by Messe München at the Miami Beach Convention Center—brought together a remarkable concentration of supply chain, logistics, and international trade professionals.
One fun behind-the-scenes detail: Trade Show Director Robert Schoenberger from Messe München often paused to listen to the crowd, saying he could judge attendance and engagement by the volume of conversation alone—and by that measure, the show was a clear success.
EACC Florida at the Trade Show
EACC Florida was delighted to be a part of the event, organized by Messe München—an EACC Florida Member—from November 11–13, 2025. EACC Florida participated with a booth and two seminars as part of the trade show’s official program. We were also honored to be represented at the official Ribbon Cutting Ceremony, where EACC Florida President Alan Sutin (Greenberg Traurig) and Executive Director Christina Sleszynska joined Messe München leadership and distinguished guests to formally open the trade show.
