Support our Global Day Celebrations and 105 Years of CILT!
This year marks an extraordinary milestone for the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) as we celebrate 105 years of shaping the logistics, transport, and supply chain industries. As part of this landmark occasion, we are thrilled to announce an upcoming International Day of celebration, which will take place on 3rd November 2024. This day will honour the incredible contributions of our global community, recognising the essential role we all play in keeping the world in motion.
Our theme, “One Network, One Global Community – Celebrating the Impact of Logistics, Transportation, and Supply Chain,” speaks to our unity as an industry and our shared commitment to shaping a connected and sustainable future. This year also marks 105 years of CILT’s legacy—an incredible milestone in our journey to advance and elevate supply chain, logistics and transportation worldwide.
To make this celebration truly representative of our vibrant international network, we invite all CILT members to contribute to our pre-campaign activities. We want to hear your voices, experiences, and insights!
We are calling for quotes, stories, and images from our members. We want to know about your personal journey with CILT and how being part of the Institute has shaped your career. We’d also love to hear your thoughts on the critical role that logistics, transport, and supply chain play as the backbone of global connectivity.
Whether it’s a memorable story, a lesson learned, or a quick reflection, your input will help us create a powerful narrative around our global community. Selected submissions will be featured in our celebratory materials and showcased to our global audience!
To help you get involved in the global celebration, we have provided a range of resources that you can use to mark the occasion locally with your fellow CILT members, networks, and communities. Download and use our official graphics, banners, and other assets to share the spirit of the day.
We encourage members to host local activities that align with our global theme. Whether it’s organising a webinar, holding a small gathering, or sharing stories online, there are plenty of ways to get involved and celebrate the day in your own way.
Part of our campaign features Sharon Kindleysides, Secretary General at CILT International. Sharon has provided us with this statement which we will be releasing on our digital platforms as part of the campaign:
CILT has been a key part of our members professional journey, connecting them with experts and insights from around the world. Over the years, I’ve seen how our work in logistics, transport and supply chain keeps industries moving and communities thriving. It’s amazing to be part of something that plays such a crucial role in the global economy. I’m proud to celebrate 105 years of CILT and be part of a community that’s shaping the future of our industry.
