CILT at the Party Conferences 2014
'A vision for the future' 

Join us at the upcoming party conferences for a panel of leading logistics, transport and planning professionals and politicians discussing future transport issues and policy. 

Once again we are partnering with the Transport Hub, a group of transport organisations working together to promote the crucial issues affecting the way goods and movements move around the world at the party conferences. 

With the General Election fast-approaching transport and logistics remains high on the political agenda. At this year’s conferences we discuss visions for the future of aviation, roads and railways. 

Join us to let industry leaders, conference delegates and politicians know what you think the future logistics and transport landscape should look like.
