ITT HUB 2020 Brings Government Agencies together to facilitate representation and access
ITT Hub 2020 to host a ‘Government Hub’ at the heart of the exhibition, to facilitate representation for and access to a wide range of Governmental agencies.
The organisers of ITT Hub 2020, the ground-breaking new event for innovation and technology in road based-transport, has announced that it will host a special area in the exhibition for the many Government and non-Governmental organisations that play a key role in the provision, regulation and development of current and future services across the whole sector.
The ‘Government Hub’ at ITT Hub 2020 will facilitate representation for various agencies in a dedicated area, located right at the heart of the main exhibition hall, with a shared facility for meetings and networking as an integral part of the initiative.
Explaining the rationale behind the Government Pavilion, CEO of organiser Binswood Media, Mark Griffin, said, “When we launched ITT Hub, we recognised the need for the many and varied agencies of government to work in close collaboration with industry to rise to the challenge of meeting the net zero greenhouse gas emissions target by 2050.
“Last week’s report published by The Electric Vehicle (EV) Energy Taskforce contained 21 key proposals for actions to be taken by government and industry to enable an effective and efficient electric mobility transition.
“A key proposal within that report is co-ordinating energy and transport planning to ensure we have the right infrastructure in the right place. The strong message from Government is that data will also play a significant part in achieving net zero. At ITT Hub 2020 we aim to bring key stakeholders from many areas within the debate together which include operators, energy providers, infrastructure, manufacturers and planners.”
With nearly 80 confirmed exhibitors and many more significant names to be announced in the coming weeks, ITT Hub 2020 continues to reshape the landscape for trade events in the road-based transport sector. Centrica, Lloyds Banking Group, Lex Autolease and National Grid are the Commercial Partners of the event, with The Freight Transport Association as Strategic Partners.
As well as indoor and outdoor exhibition space with the opportunity to ‘ride and drive’ a selection of the latest vans, minibuses, trucks, buses and coaches, powered by a variety of fuels including gas, hydrogen and full electric, the free to attend event will feature a major two day conference on site at impressive Farnborough International facility.
The FTA Future Logistics Conference, which will be kicked off by a keynote speech from British astronaut Major Tim Peake CMG, will feature 45 sessions and more than 100 speakers, all leaders in their respective fields, providing insight and invaluable knowledge for transport industry professions.
