Anchor Express Named Best Overall Network Contributor at X2 Global Conference in Turkey 2026

Global recognition and new horizons: Anchor Express has been named the ‘Best Overall Network Contributor’ at the X2 Conference in Turkey. This award marks a significant milestone in our journey, highlighting the strength of our network and our unwavering reliability in the logistics world. Read on for the highlights of our trip and what this achievement means for our future.

To get a closer look at this achievement and the atmosphere of the event, we sat down with our Air Export Manager, Dima Prikhnenko, who represented the company at the conference and shared more details about this milestone for Anchor Express.

1. Turkey is a great location for such events. What was the atmosphere like at this year’s X2 Conference?

Having attended X2 conferences in the past, I can say they consistently deliver a fantastic environment, and this year in Turkey was no exception. Turkey is historically the bridge between the East and the West, which perfectly reflects what we do in the network—connecting partners across global trade lanes. What always makes X2 such a great event is the shift from our high-volume, day-to-day email traffic to real, face-to-face collaboration. The atmosphere was highly productive and engaging, filled with both familiar friends and new partners, all focused on strengthening the trusted relationships that are the true foundation of freight forwarding.

2. Were there any particular moments or speeches that stood out to you during the event?

The industry discussions revolving around supply chain visibility and proactive communication really resonated with me. At Anchor Express, we’ve been pushing hard on real-time tracking—like ensuring strict GPS links for all our FTL dispatches—so seeing that align with the global industry focus was validating. But honestly, the standout moment was hearing Anchor Express announced for the award. It was a proud moment that validated all the late nights, 24/7 shifts, and weekend recoveries our team executes back in Chicago.

3. Since this award is about "Network Contribution," which of our recent partnerships do you think played the biggest role in this success?

It is difficult to single out just one, because our success is built on consistency across the board. However, our deep collaborations with X2 partners—like the great teams we work with in Poland, China & Sweden — have been fantastic. The key driver for this award wasn’t just who we partnered with, but how we supported them. Because our Air Import team operates 24/7, we are able to process customs clearances, handle AOGs, and recover freight on weekends while other forwarders are closed. That level of accessibility makes us a highly reliable safety net for our global partners.

4. How do you think this award will strengthen our position and relationships within the global logistics network?

In logistics, trust is your most valuable asset. When overseas agents are bidding on complex routing orders or onboarding new US vendors, they need absolute certainty that their freight will be handled correctly. This ‘Best Overall Network Contributor’ award acts as a global seal of approval. It proves our operational excellence and compliance standards to the network, which will make onboarding with new agents smoother and undoubtedly drive more routing volume through our doors.
