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, who will be present on the first morning of the two-day conference.
Innovative insights from space
“After a phenomenally successful event in 2021, the lineup for the 2022 Future Logistics Conference is shaping up to include some of the brightest and best minds in transportation,” says Kevin Green, director at Logistics UK, “and we are thrilled to have secured a speaker of Maggie’s caliber as our keynote, following on from Tim Peake’s inspirational presentation in 2021.
“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 lineup 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.”
As well as Dr Aderin-Pocock, the lineup 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. New speakers are being added to the programme all the time.
