South Sudan is getting ready to host what is expected to be one of the largest regional trade and logistics events. The 7th Edition of the Global Logistics Convention (GLC 2026) will be held from August 25th to 27th, 2026, at the Pyramid Continental Hotel in Juba.
The three-day conference will bring together around 1,000 freight forwarders, policy makers, logistics experts, transport operators, customs officials, investors, and business leaders from all over Africa and abroad. This is set to mark a historic moment for the country as it is the first time it will host the prestige convention that brings regional and international industry stakeholders.
Organised by the Federation of East African Freight Forwarders Associations (FEAFFA) in cooperation with the South Sudan Freight Forwarders Association (SSFFA) under the theme "Transport and Logistics as a Catalyst for Africa's Integrated and Sustainable Economic Growth".
The Convention will provide an ideal setting to stimulate discussion on the facilitation of trade, enhance connectivity and to address some of the core issues that inhibit the free movement of goods and services across Africa's borders. High level panel discussions on cross-border trade, regional trade corridors, customs modernization, as well as solutions for a more effective transport and logistics sector in Africa will take place over the three day period.
As part of the convention the event will also include exclusive business-to-business networking events between customs brokers, freight forwarders, transport providers, trade finance stakeholders and logistics service providers, enabling new partnership to be struck and business opportunities to be forged between local and regional players and to explore new business avenues and investment opportunities.
A substantial highlight of the conference is the logistics and supply chain exhibition, where a wide spectrum of Companies and organizations from all over Africa will display some of their innovative technologies, products, and services designed to streamline how transport and logistics operations and to facilitate trade, creating unique opportunities for attendees to source the best and latest solutions for cargo movement and trade.
Another important part of the convention is the much-anticipated FEAFFA Logistics Excellence Awards ceremony will also be part of the three-day event, celebrating excellence and innovation throughout the transport and freight forwarding industry across the Eastern Africa Region.
South Sudan is expected to reap major benefits from this once in a life time Convention to boost its Trade capacity and strengthen its logistics ecosystem and improve access to investments in the transport sector, while it helps to develop human capital and to strengthen ties among industry players who are driving Africa's trade agenda.
With planning well underway, excitement is bubbling up around what will be a significant Convention that seeks to drive the Transport and Logistics agenda across Africa.
The 7th Global Logistics Convention is set to spotlight Juba, the capital of South Sudan, on the global logistics radar and place it in the forefront of discussions regarding trade facilitation and sustainable transport in Africa.
