Agistix and Confabb Announce Partnership

Agistix, Inc., the leading provider of Logistics Management Automation (LMA) software, today announced a strategic partnership with Confabb.com, the Web’s largest resource for conferences and trade shows, to serve as Confabb’s exclusive shipping resource for conference attendees, sponsors, booth operators and conference managers. Agistix will handle all inbound and outbound trade show logistical requirements for Confabb customers.

Maintaining a growing database of more than 70,000 conferences worldwide, Confabb has built an online community that provides tools to help people maximize the time they spend planning for and attending conferences and trade shows.

“We are honored to provide exclusive shipping resources for Confabb and their community of conference attendees, sponsors, booth operators and conference managers,” said David Fox, president and CEO of Agistix. “From the movement of brochures to product samples to exhibit and display items, Agistix preferred carriers represent over 30 years of trade show experience and over 45,000 annual trade show moves. We understand exhibitors’ concern over the safety and care, level of service and communication, attention to detail, and the quality assurance required each step of the way to handle conference logistics.” Agistix LMA automates shipping processes and policies, provides greater control and visibility into global logistics operations, and reduces logistics costs. It is a practical, immediate solution to the need to control inbound and outbound shipments.

“We are delighted to partner with Agistix to provide our customers with a one stop shop to handle all of their inbound and outbound trade show shipping,” said Salim Ismail, founder and chairman of Confabb. “With hundreds of carriers and suppliers currently serving the community, Agistix is the only truly global, carrier-neutral platform that supports the entire shipping ecosystem.” About Confabb Confabb is the largest database of major conferences, conventions and trade shows in the world, sorted by industry. On top of this powerful resource are social networking tools which help people find, plan for and create a total conference experience. Confabb uses reputation management to let conference attendees, speakers, organizers and administrators critique and review events they have attended and want to share. This is all layered on top of a social network designed to bring “hallway conversations” into long lasting meaningful business relationships. No other resource contains as comprehensive a listing of events or as robust a tool set for maximizing the conference experience. Conferences are opportunities.
