The 2024 Global Cold Chain Alliance (GCCA) Convention, held in Bonita Springs, Florida, faced an unexpected interruption due to the approach of Hurricane Helene. As always, the GCCA stepped up their game in the face of adversity and pivoted to deliver an outstanding event. Viking Cold Solutions also stayed the course and was able to engage with like-minded companies to evaluate new technologies and strategies for navigating the cold chain industry.
The GCCA Convention is an annual event for advancing the cold chain, fostering collaboration and innovation while promoting sustainable practices. It brings industry leaders together to exchange insights and best practices on improving temperature-controlled logistics, reducing carbon emissions, and enhancing operational efficiency. With ever-evolving regulations affecting everything from energy efficiency to food safety, staying informed is essential for companies aiming to optimize operations and minimize environmental impact.
The market is evolving quickly, driven by new innovations and the growing need for efficiency and sustainability. To stay ahead, technology-driven companies are exploring advancements in energy management, facility monitoring, data analysis, and incorporating artificial intelligence to optimize results. Viking Cold Solutions remains at the forefront of these technologies, driving reductions in energy costs for our clients of 20% to 30% or more.
We had a great experience at this year’s GCCA Convention and are grateful to the GCCA for powering through the conference despite the threat of a hurricane making landfall. As always, it was an invaluable opportunity to connect, exchange ideas, and explore innovations in the cold chain. Viking Cold continues to partner with industry leaders who advance the adoption of energy-efficient and sustainable solutions to their business challenges.
