This conference programme aims to give senior logistics professionals access to new ideas, solutions and innovations to help take their departments and companies forward. The agenda is pitched at a high level and we endeavour to present new case studies and new thinkers on the programme each year.

Keynote and seminar sessions give a high-level view of the logistics industry, offering predictions and insights to help delegates form their future communications strategies. The interactive workshops and discussion groups complement the larger sessions by drilling down into specific issues, allowing delegates to share their collective experiences and to learn how their peers are dealing with similar situations.

  • Olympic Legends

    Daley Thompson, Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson, Sally Gunnell, Kelly Sotherton - interviewed by Steve Cram
    We are delighted to announce that a panel of Olympic legends will open this year’s Communication Directors' Forum. 

    A number of current and former Olympic greats will take part in the opening address which will be chaired by 1500m gold medallist and commentator Steve Cram MBE.

    The panel currently includes:
    • Daley Thompson CBE, double Olympic gold medallist at the decathlon, Moscow 1980 & Los Angeles 1984.
    • Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson, who has won an astonishing 11 gold medals at 4 Paralympics games.
    • Sally Gunnell, OBE - Olympic gold medallist at the 400m hurdles, Barcelona 1992
    • Kelly Sotherton - Former Olympic Heptathlon bronze medallist, Kelly now specialising solely on the 400m. She is one of Great Britain's hopes for London 2012.
    With the London games just around the corner, such a distinguished group should provide a fascinating insight into what 2012 will bring, our medal hopes and what it takes to be amongst the best in the world.
     

  • The UK economy – past, present and future…

    Dennis Turner, Chief Economist, HSBC
    Back by popular demand, Dennis Turner, Chief Economist at HSBC will look back at his predictions made for 2011, explore the current state of the UK economy and share his insights on what’s in store for the coming twelve months.

    Dennis Turner is the Chief Economist of HSBC. His role involves advising lending bankers on economic trends not only at national level, but also on industries and regions. Before going into the City in 1978, he worked for four years in Whitehall, for the National Economic Development Office. This was during the Labour government’s Industrial Strategy Initiative, which was an attempt to improve the performance of the UK’s manufacturing sector.
     

    A lighter look at the game of cricket

    Geoff Miller, Chairman, England Cricket Selectors
    Geoff has been an England & Wales Cricket Board national selector for nearly 11 years, and now chairs the selection panel. During his time in office England has won the Ashes on three occasions, and last year captured the World 20/20 Trophy. Improvements in all forms of the game have given England wins over most of the main cricketing nations.

    Geoff will discuss how consistent and careful selection has led to success on the field, and a huge uptake of ECB schools and club initiatives – whence tomorrow’s Test players will eventually emerge. He’ll also delve back in time to reveal some of the more light hearted moments of his career and share stories of some of his more colourful teammates such as Alan Lamb and the legendary Sir Ian Botham.

    What distinguishes Geoff from most sporting speakers is his ability to reach audiences without an ounce of interest in sport.
