Hosted on a state-of-the-art, immersive live events platform, the free-to-attend Future Logistics Conference is being sponsored by the AA, Bott, Brigade Electronics, Cool Kit, Lex Autolease, Mobil Delvac and Quartix, and aims to give delegates an opportunity to hear from thought leaders and experts, before the main ITT Hub event and conference next May. More than 20 expert speakers and panellists have now been confirmed for the one-day virtual event, including Andy Eastlake, Managing Director of LowCVP, Graeme Cooper, Project Director of Electric Vehicles at National Grid, Richard Skidmore, Head of Connectivity at Mercedes-Benz Trucks UK, Phil Roe, Chief Operating Officer at UKI, DHL, and Elliot Shaw, Executive Director of Strategy and Planning, Highways England.

FIVE FORWARD-LOOKING SESSIONS

There will be five sessions: Future Vehicles and Future Fuels, which will explore procuring alternatively fuelled vehicles currently in development; Future Business Strategies, which will look at the business models logistics may need to adopt in the future; Future Data, where panellists from a range of sectors will share their vision and expertise; Future Communities, which will look at how changes in demography will impact on future infrastructure needs; and Future Borders, which will discuss the borders of tomorrow.

CHANGING FACE OF LOGISTICS

David Wells, Chief Executive, Logistics UK, said: “We are delighted to have Leon Daniels confirmed as the chair for what promises to be an intriguing and thought-provoking look ahead to emerging trends in our industry.

“From 5G to smart cities, zero-emission vehicles to self-driving trucks, the shape of logistics in the UK is set to transform dramatically in the coming decades. I urge anyone who is interested in what may lie ahead for our great industry to book their place on this free-to-attend conference without delay.”
