Manila is set to host the 8th Global Symposium of Jay’s Club International Logistics Organization (JCiLO) from May 28 to 31, 2025. JCiLO, a global alliance of freight forwarding companies, logistics specialists, and affiliated businesses, is led by Sri Lanka’s CEO and Global President, Jay Linayagamage. The event, expected to attract over 70 delegates, will discuss recent innovations in logistics, quality management control, and supply chain management.

Tourism Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco will be the welcome speaker on May 29. Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon will address the Gala Night on the 31st at the Casa Buenas in Hotel Okura.

This is the first time the Philippines will host the annual event, which will be made possible by Grandlink Freight International. This 26-year-old freight forwarding company is the only JCiLO member from the Philippines.

Myra Kierulf-Roldan, president of event organizer Merck-MLI Travel and Tours, said the Global Symposium will also include a pre-conference Hop On-Hop Off (HoHo) Manila heritage tour and a post-conference tour of Subic on June 1.

 The 8th Global Symposium of JCiLO delegates are excited to experience the Filipino brand of hospitality and service under the slogan MICE Philippines: We take your business to heart.
