DB Schenker named official logistics provider for SportAccord on the Gold Coast

SportAccord has announced the return of DB Schenker as Official Logistics Provider for the 17th edition of SportAccord taking place from 5th to 10th May on the Gold Coast.

As one of the leading supply chain management and logistics solutions providers worldwide,

DB Schenker has been a long-standing Delivery Partner for SportAccord. With dedicated multi-lingual teams located worldwide for the sport event industry, this puts DB Schenker in a strong position when it comes to supporting the needs of delegates.

Commenting on the longevity of the partnership, Nis Hatt, Managing Director of SportAccord, which brings together international sports federations and organisations involved in the business of sport, advised “we are delighted DB Schenker has come on-board once more as the Official Logistics Provider for SportAccord 2019. Working closely with DB Schenker for many years has contributed to the smooth-running of our event operations.

“To have their loyalty, expertise and know-how is invaluable to our event, and as in previous years, SportAccord delegates will be offered preferential rates for Gold Coast. It goes without saying that it makes sense to use DB Schenker for the Gold Coast edition of SportAccord.”

To register as a SportAccord delegate, exhibitor and partners and take advantage of the Official Schedule, attendees will be able to enjoy over 20 networking events and the popular three-day Exhibition, have access to 50+ conference sessions and the Sports Festival, taking place at the Gold Coast Conference and Exhibition Centre on the region’s stunning coastline.

We are not only part of the biggest sport events worldwide, but we make them possible in the first place.”
