Conference - one of Europe's largest road transport conferences - will take
place on Wednesday 17 May 2023 at the Coventry Building Society Arena, CV6

The free-to-attend one-day event will address the most pressing issues facing
the transport industry today, with a focus on technology and innovation and

This year's event includes two interactive panel discussions: 'Alternative
Fuel Future' and 'Road to Rail'. Both sessions have been designed to spark
debate surrounding two key topics that support the industry's route to zero
emissions and the government's wider 'net zero' target.

 

Further speakers include Mark Cartwright, Head of Commercial Vehicle Incident
Prevention at National Highways; Phil Roe, President of Logistics UK; and
Florence Bearman, Acting Co-Chief Executive at Transaid. Microlise has been a
corporate supporter of Transaid since 2015.

 

Following the Group's recent acquisition of Vita Software, it will also be
offering live demonstrations of the new Transport Management System (TMS)
during the afternoon of the conference. The first chance to see the new system
up and running, delegates will learn how the new software can further optimise
transport operations.

 

Investor Event

 

As part of the conference Microlise will also host a separate event for
investors, beginning at 11:15, on the day. This will include an overview of
Microlise's solutions and new TMS; a customer showcase in which companies
explain how and why they use Microlise's solutions; and a joint presentation
in which Microlise and OEM customers discuss strategy in relation to the
changing nature of vehicle fuel.

 

The Investor Event will be followed by lunch and the opportunity to talk to
Microlise's senior management. Investors wishing to attend this event should

Nadeem Raza, CEO, Microlise, said: "Our industry is currently undergoing
significant challenges, from ever increasing pressure to transition and adopt
zero-emission vehicles, to obtaining new vehicles. These challenges require us
to work together and adopt new technologies and practices.

 

"The agenda for this year's conference is designed to provide valuable insight
and knowledge on how we can transition to zero-emission vehicles and operate
them successfully. We will also explore the opportunities of a more multimodal
supply chain with the utilisation of rail operations. With a range of
workshops speakers throughout the day, we will cover topics such as inspiring
new generations to pursue careers in the logistics industry, ensuring that
operations are safe and compliant, mitigating risks, and understanding the
legal implications of doing so.

 

"We believe that collaboration is key to this industry, and our goal is to
foster a culture of innovation and teamwork. This year, more than ever, we
recognise the importance of collaboration and unity in the face of adversity,
as our industry has shown its resilience throughout and post the pandemic."

 

The Microlise Transport Conference has established itself since 2007 as the
industry's premier conference, offering a thought-provoking and engaging
programme of speakers, complimented by four workshop areas, an exhibition
featuring innovative industry suppliers and the opportunity to network with an
audience of over 1,000 attendees.
