(Copyright Text, Logistics UK, reproduced with kind permission)

Logistics UK's Transport Manager conferences will return once again this autumn, after last year's 25th anniversary series saw more than 2,100 delegates attend in person or view a virtual conference – the largest audience in the event's history. 

Taking place across 10 different locations in the UK as well as online, Transport Manager 2026 will include the latest compliance and legislative advice, useful industry insights and guidance to help operators avoid non-compliance and safely manage their fleet operations in the coming year. 

Transport Manager 2026 will include: 

• The Traffic Commissioners on their key priorities for the year ahead. 
• A session by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA). 
• A session from National Highways. 
• Road Safety Strategy – development of a work-related road safety charter, with Chris Yarsley, Logistics UK's Senior Policy Manager - Road Freight Regulation. 
• Hiding in plain sight – the impact of the type 2 diabetes crisis on the industry, Diabetes Safety Organisation. 
• Freight crime – how businesses can prepare, prevent and protect, National Vehicle Crime Intelligence Service (NaVCIS). 

Logistics UK's Member Advice Centre (MAC) will provide an essential legislative roundup and technical update highlighting the main topics on the horizon that managers need to be aware of to ensure the safety, compliance and efficiency of their organisation, and MAC advisors will be on hand throughout the day to discuss legislation and compliance issues. 

Ben Fletcher, Logistics UK's Chief Executive, said: "Following on from last year's record-breaking events, we are looking forward to delivering another outstanding Transport Manager series. Transport Manager is one of the highlights of any transport manager's calendar, bringing together best-in-industry compliance and legislative expertise, alongside valuable opportunities to network with peers and connect with leading sponsors and exhibitors. Transport Manager 2026 offers something for everyone."
