Registrations are now open for the Road Transport Forum Annual Conference 2016 at Baypark, Tauranga, October 27/28.
“New vehicle technologies, new commercial and environmental expectations and new government regulation are all important aspects of the changing world of road transport and will have a significant impact on our industry into the future,” says Road Transport Forum chief executive, Ken Shirley
“RTF’s Annual Conference will address this changing world through the dual themes of innovation and change. Our aim is to provide delegates with the opportunity to hear from the experts, innovators and regulators at the forefront of our industry’s future,” says Shirley.
“We have put together an incredibly exciting programme of speakers including co-Founder of Tesla and Founder of Wrightspeed, Ian Wright, economist Bernard Hickey, industry legal expert Ed Cox and rollover prevention guru, Jeff Fleury,” he says.
“The Conference will be a great social occasion with a networking BBQ, a special breakfast with comic Urzila Carlson and the Road Transport Industry Awards Dinner hosted by Jeremy Corbett. A two-day partner’s programme is also available,” says Shirley.
The final of the 2016 New Zealand Truck Driving Championship will be held concurrently with the Conference and provide delegates with the opportunity to watch some of New Zealand’s top drivers in action.
“Some sponsorship opportunities are still available, and I’d encourage prospective delegates to go to the conference website and register early,” says Shirley. “This year’s event is not to be missed.”
