The Association of Fleet Professionals (AFP) annual conference will be taking place on Wednesday 7th May, with a central theme of the growing profile of the fleet manager.

Taking place once again at The British Motor Museum, Gaydon, the event is expected to attract around 250 members, and will be sponsored by Enterprise Mobility and Ayvens.

The day will include sessions featuring expert speakers and panels, on topics including: keeping your fleet compliant, driving change, data driven decisions, new developments in legislation, potential events for the next 18 months, and fleet roles for the future.

There will also be a keynote speech from the Office for Zero Emissions Vehicles, and an AFP Academy awards ceremony, celebrating members who have gained accreditations from the industry training body during the past year.

Paul Hollick, chair at the AFP, said: “This is our fourth conference since the merger of ACFO and the ICFM, and the event has become widely recognised as one of the highlights of the fleet industry calendar, tackling the issues of the moment in an informed and practical manner.

“This year we’re aiming to make the conference better than ever. Crucially, we’ll be recognising the increasing role of the fleet manager at this unprecedented moment of change for vehicle operators, showing how our members play an essential position in some of the most important aspects of corporate life.

“Also, we’d like to thank Enterprise Mobility and Ayvens for their sponsorship. Support of this kind is what makes events such as the AFP Conference possible, and we’re very grateful for their involvement.”
