The Microlise Transport Conference is our flagship event of the year! With 1,400 delegates already registered, we have just over two weeks to go.
Hosted once again at the Coventry Building Society Arena, join us at the largest road transport conference in Europe.
It may be entitled the Microlise Transport Conference but the day is not about us, it’s about the industry. Bringing together thought leaders and subject matter experts, the conference is a rare opportunity where people from across our far-reaching industry come together in one space. Transport, manufacturing, retail, service providers, government – all of those who touch and shape the transport sector are represented.
A day bursting full of insights, ideas, conversations and knowledge sharing, find out exactly what’s in store for #MTC25…
