The event will arm senior business leaders with the insight they need to navigate the challenging logistics environment, protect their operations against global and national supply chain pressures, and maximise the opportunities of advancing technologies and government assistance programmes.

It will be held on 30 March 2022 at the America Square Conference Centre in London and chaired by Phil Roe, Chief Customer Officer at DHL Supply Chain. Expert speakers including Professor Alan McKinnon will examine industry resilience post-COVID-19 and reflect on lessons learned; and the ongoing implications of the UK’s departure from the EU will also be explored.

Sessions will also include a review of the preparedness of the industry as it strives to meet decarbonisation targets, resilience in the face of a skills shortage, and the opportunities and assistance provided by new technologies and government financial support, from a range of speakers including James Wroath, CEO of Wincanton, and Nick Wildgoose, Director of Supplien Consulting Limited. The event is sponsored by Quincus.

David Wells, Chief Executive of Logistics UK, comments: “From operating during a global pandemic to adapting to new trading arrangements following the UK’s departure from the EU, logistics businesses have faced challenge after challenge but have risen to each new pressure with determination and courage.

“Supply Chain Resilience will be an essential event for all senior business leaders involved in logistics, helping them to prepare their operations for present and future national and global pressures, in addition to reflecting on past lessons learned. Please do register your interest to attend today.”

The conference takes place on Tuesday 10th, Thursday 12th and Friday 13th November and will explore the theme of “Enhancing Consumer Experience”, which arguably has never been more relevant than during these exceptional times.

Heather Price, IFSF Chair said “I was so sad that we will not all be able to meet up at our conference this year, but we have worked hard to make the most of this new virtual format to make it better than ever. Hosting the conference on a virtual platform unlocks new opportunities for our colleagues and guests from overseas to actively participate, offering additional insight and new networking opportunities. We have a great line up of inspirational speakers on the subject of Enhancing Consumer Experience, and then some in depth discussions about how our new API environment can allow us to bring these great ideas to market in record time.”

The conference, spanning four days, offers additional flexibility for attendees, with the online schedule being distributed both live and as recordings, ensuring everyone interested in attending can enjoy the programme at their convenience. The conference will host a wealth of esteemed and highly experienced speakers addressing a series of topics integral to the industry now and in the future.

One of the threads of the conference will cover APIs – devices which enable computers and users to interact – and how important they are to today’s, and tomorrow’s, forecourt technology.

The conference will provide the IFSF with a platform to deliver focused and important updates about our work, and how the industry is progressing in standardising processes for speed, efficiency and consistency.
