CONFERENCE OVERVIEW
The logistics industry is changing – and that brings major challenges but also a plethora of opportunities for firms working in the industry.
This conference is set to delve into all of the key topical subjects, hearing from the experts within the industry on exactly what that means for businesses across the UK, whilst also highlighting the major development projects set to happen.
Challenges including carbon and emissions, congestion and technology need to be addressed. But there is also a need to deliver additional logistical sites and hubs which are integrated and placed strategically across the UK to drive economic growth. This event will provide a platform for you to meet and speak with the leading players in this sector as you gather with hundreds of industry experts and professionals to hear about major development zones, share knowledge and ensure the industry continues to drive growth across the country.
