The logistics industry has a date circled in red on its international calendar. The Air Cargo Forum (ACF) organizers officially confirmed that Miami will once again host its event from October 26-29, 2026 , aiming to surpass the record-breaking figures of its 2024 edition, which attracted more than 3,500 visitors and 250 exhibitors.

With the aim of raising the industry standard, the event will move to the iconic Miami Beach Convention Center . This choice is no coincidence: Miami remains one of the most dynamic global gateways, connecting key markets and serving as a hub of innovation for international trade.

The 2026 edition will not be limited to traditional trade shows. True to its mission of serving the air cargo community , the organization has designed a program that balances strategic collaboration with high-level experiences. Among the new features are:

• When and where will the Air Cargo Forum 2026 be held? 

  It will be held from October 26 to 29, 2026 at the Miami Beach Convention Center, Miami (Florida), United States.

• What new features will the 2026 edition of the ACF include? 

  It will include panels on innovation and sustainability, high-impact sponsorship and networking opportunities, and exclusive experiences such as a golf tournament, cultural tours, and social receptions.

• Why is the Air Cargo Forum considered important? 

  Because air cargo carries approximately 35% of the value of world trade and is crucial for sectors such as pharmaceuticals, technology and e-commerce; in addition, it is key to the ability to respond to global crises.

• What is the organization’s objective with the 2026 edition? 

  To surpass the record figures of 2024, raise industry standards, strengthen membership and added value, and position Miami as the “Hub of Excellence” for air freight.

“ACF 2026 is more than an event; it is a platform designed to shape the future of air cargo in an unforgettable environment,” the organizers stated.

The significance of this event lies in the critical role air cargo plays as the backbone of international trade. In a hyper-connected world, this sector not only guarantees the transport of 35% of the value of global trade , but is also an indispensable enabler for high-priority industries such as pharmaceuticals, technology, and e-commerce . The ability to respond to global crises and the distribution of vital supplies depend directly on the efficiency of this network, making the Air Cargo Forum 2026 the space where the resilience and agility that the global economy will demand in the coming decade will be designed.
