This year’s EUROVAN meeting took place Sunday 4 – Tuesday 6 February in Germany’s financial capital Frankfurt, with more than 50 participants from all over the world.

The meeting was officially opened by EUROVAN’s General Manager, Andreas Kölling. The meeting was a mix of business sessions and outdoor events with ample time to network and take part in the now traditional one-to-one meetings.

The event was especially useful for new EUROVAN Partners who had the opportunity to meet new contacts and forge future business relationships.

Sunday-evening entertainment was provided by magician Andrea Tumietto at a typical Frankfurt restaurant, followed on Monday by a trip around Frankfurt on the famous Ebbelwoi-Express tram and a chance to try Frankfurt’s traditional Apfelwein (Apple wine).

Tuesday was reserved for keynote speakers from the moving industry, including EUROVAN’s supporting partner GRADLYN, the Animal Travel Agency.  The speaker, Faruk, informed the audience about the logistics involved in transporting animals around the world and gave some very interesting examples of pet transports.

The date and venue for next year’s EUROVAN event have yet to be decided and will be announced later in the year.
