The agenda for the Talent in Logistics Conference 2018 has been revealed, featuring sessions that tackle the challenges around recruitment, safety, training and funding within the transport and logistics industries.

At the conference, which takes place on 21 June, 2018 at the Telford International Centre in the West Midlands, delegates will have the opportunity to attend engaging seminars, thought-provoking panel discussions and lively debates. As it provides such a relevant professional development opportunity, members of CILT UK will be awarded 3 hours CPD for attending.

The agenda has been designed to address some of the most important issues facing transport, warehouse, HR and training managers, as well as forklift and LGV driving instructors. For example, one seminar will cover ‘Forklift training myths – when to train, when not to train’, exploring and dispelling the common misconceptions about materials handling equipment training which could be costing businesses money, or exposing them to risk.

Alongside the conference, delegates can visit the Information Zone to meet with training experts and high-quality suppliers from the transport and logistics industry. They will also have the chance to support the finalists of the exciting Grand Finals of the 2018 Forklift Operator of the Year, sponsored by UniCarriers UK Ltd and the Forklift Instructor of the Year.

Visitors to the conference are also encouraged to stay for the evening and attend the Talent in Logistics Awards, the only awards to recognise the people that ensure the right training and skills are delivered for the continued success of the transport, warehousing and logistics in the UK and Ireland.

With a wide range of categories, it is an ideal opportunity to celebrate and recognise valuable talent throughout the supply chain, from apprentices and drivers, to training providers and managers who are inspiring and mentoring leaders of the future. The full list of categories is available at www.talentinlogistics.co.uk and the Awards are free to enter from 3 January, 2018.
