The event takes place on 3 December at the National Motorcycle Museum in Solihull and is supported by CAP and KeeResources.

The theme for this year’s conference is Air Quality, Energy and Emissions. As well as a keynote address from BVRLA chief executive Gerry Keaney, the day will feature a panel session with appearances from Transport Minister Andrew Jones, green-energy guru Dr Jeremy Leggett, low-carbon transport analyst Alex Stewart and CAP’s Dylan Setterfield.

Other panel sessions include:

• Future Mobility Trends – Frost & Sullivan mobility consultant Graeme Banister will set the scene before asking leasing experts from Enterprise, FMG and LeasePlan to share the vision for their businesses.
• Customer Service in the Digital Age – In today’s era of connected vehicles, apps and smartphones, do businesses need to take a more digital approach to dealing with customers? BlaBlaCar will outline its social media success story, while ACFO’s Caroline Sandall will give a fleet perspective. 
• Where next for Whole Life Costs? – With a growing demand for ultra-low emission vehicles and ‘mobility solutions’, does the way our industry sells and manages its services need to change? Industry expert Colin Tourick and automotive data specialists KeeResources will lead this challenging debate.

The BVRLA added that more expert speakers will be announced in the coming weeks.

The event is not restricted to BVRLA members and is open to anyone in the fleet industry to attend – including contract hire and leasing suppliers, daily rental companies, fleet management and fleet servicing providers, fleet software suppliers, licence checking companies, fuel card providers and mileage capture specialists.
