CNS Partnership Conference 2027

The CNS (Cargo Network Services) Partnership Conference is the annual gathering of the US air cargo sector, organised by IATA's US subsidiary; the 2027 event is the 36th edition. It draws roughly 700 stakeholders from across the airfreight value chain for panel sessions, a networking golf tournament and business meetings. It is a general air cargo conference rather than a dedicated cold chain forum.

Pharma and perishables are among the highest-yield verticals moving through US airfreight, and this is where carriers, forwarders and ground handlers align on capacity, digitalization (ONE Record, eAWB) and US regulatory direction. Cold chain professionals shipping temperature-sensitive product by air use it to set commercial relationships and gauge where US air cargo capacity and handling standards are heading.

Airline and aviation cargo executives, ground service providers, airfreight forwarders, airport cargo officials, and technology or solution providers, weighted to the US market. Seniority skews to commercial and cargo leadership rather than operational staff.
