The event provides opportunities for continued professional development, and well as business networking and the chance to celebrate the best people in the industry. With the prestigious event just a few weeks away, tickets are now extremely limited.

A packed conference agenda will see a range of relevant and thought-provoking topics addressed to ensure learning and development professionals can learn new knowledge and skills.

Sessions just added include the seminar “Mental Health First Aid in Industrial Environments” with Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) England and a discussion on “Utilising military leadership techniques to create high performing teams in logistics” led by Chris Gibson, MBE, of The Leadership Team.

Another key focus of the forward-looking conference is the future of the industry, with sessions titled: “Why aren’t young people attracted to working in logistics?”, “The Apprenticeship Levy – making it work for your business” and “What training will be needed for an automated future?”.

Delegates can also learn “The DVSA’s thoughts on the future of vocational training” from Mark Winn, who will shortly become Chief Driving Examiner at DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency). As one of his first speaking engagements in his new position, this will be a chance to hear how he plans to put his stamp on the role at DVSA and what he hopes to achieve.

Other useful topics to support the acquisition and retention of future talent include “How to attract diverse talent to your business” and “Understanding and overcoming resistance to learning”.
