IATA 5th Lithium Battery Workshop

IATA is holding the 5th Lithium Battery Workshop in Montreal, Canada this coming September. The event will bring together representatives from lithium battery manufacturers, freight forwarders, ground handling agents, airlines, training schools and regulators to share information and learn how best to apply the regulations for the transport of lithium batteries by air, making this an excellent opportunity to network across the entire supply chain.
