Top space scientist leads Future Logistics Conference 2022 line up
From trains, planes and automobiles to space age solutions, Logistics UK’s Future Logistics Conference 2022 is set to shine a light on the very latest developments in transport, and spark debate about the future of one of the economy’s most critical sectors.
To be held alongside ITT Hub at Farnborough International Exhibition and Conference Centre on 11 and 12 May 2022, the free-to-attend event will be headlined by a keynote speech from world renowned space scientist Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock MBE (pictured), who will be present on the first morning of the two-day conference.
BRIGHTEST AND BEST MINDS IN TRANSPORTATION
“After a phenomenally successful event in 2021, the line-up for the 2022 Future Logistics Conference is shaping up to include some of the brightest and best minds in transportation,” said Kevin Green, Marketing & Communications Director at Logistics UK, “and we are thrilled to have secured a speaker of Maggie’s calibre as our keynote, following on from Tim Peake’s inspirational presentation in 2021.
DECARBONISING SECTOR NEEDS BOLD SOLUTIONS
“The challenge of decarbonising our sector to reach the government’s stated objective of net zero emissions by 2030 will require innovative thinking and bold solutions from manufacturers and operators across the transport industry. I am confident that the insights Maggie will bring to the event, along with her experience of truly innovative solutions to issues which have been tested in space, will help our industry to re-evaluate the opportunities presented by decarbonisation. Alongside a line-up of thought leaders and inspirational business minds, her keynote will set the tone for two days of lively debate that will help attendees address the challenges our industry faces in the coming decades.”
IMPRESSIVE LINE-UP OF SPEAKERS
As well as Dr Aderin-Pocock, the line-up of speakers already confirmed for the event includes representatives from organisations including National Grid, Zemo Partnership, Zenobe and Zenzic. Topics to be discussed during the two days of the conference include autonomous deliveries, the merits of alternative fuels, how to futureproof the supply chain and how van operators can switch to electric vehicles.
