The fine, sandy shores of Pantai Cenang, Pantai Tengah, and Pantai Kok offer visitors the opportunity to immerse themselves in the crystal-clear waters of the Andaman Sea.

What have people said about our previous events?

"The event was again even better than the previous AGM, these extraordinary AGM events cannot be missed. After meeting old friends and welcoming new friends, the family is growing. Freight Lounge is a network which gives you a family feeling and you can be whoever you want to be and even be yourself. The respect everybody has for each other is such a great and warm feeling. As a founding member of the Network, I sincerely hope to enjoy many more events, even though I understand that with a growing network, the management will face many challenges to keep the AGMs on this high level."


Rini Verhoef - C-Log Worldwide bv - Netherlands

"We had a very prolific and enjoyable experience. The team is very diversified, full of great agents from different parts of the world. Everyone was very warm, especially to first-time attendees like us. The meeting was timely and organized. I love how the organizers of Freight Lounge gave such importance to building relationships. The tour and after parties were exceptional, they brought out the fun and child side of us and when we went back to our country, we brought not just business but a family to do business with, with whom we can entrust the trust given to us by our own clients."

"This year’s AGM was a perfect follow-up to our last FL meeting. Having already begun new business opportunities with several of my FL partners, I really enjoyed building and cementing those relationships while in Vietnam. And, having been with FL since the beginning, it was especially encouraging to see so many new agents joining us and finally seeing that our group is more than a network. It is a family of partners and has a whole different feel to it than a typical network."


Marc Sullivan - Global Trade & Customs - USA

"During the Freight Lounge AGM in Da Nang, I experienced one of the most memorable AGMs ever with the FL colleagues. The one-on-one meetings were not only productive but also enjoyable and relaxing, thanks to the outing day organized by Auke and Paul. This arrangement made the final day of meetings feel effortless and fostered a closer bond with members, especially after the fun and valuable team-building activities we shared the day before. I cherished every moment of it!

Thank you for the excellent organization, and I look forward to attending next year's AGM."
