See You at the FORS 2025 Conference – Conference agenda
FORs 2025 Conference, agenda guide by Rachel Pearson, Advanced FORS Practitioner, Fleetmaxx Solutions, Whitstable
As a FORS Advanced Practitioner and someone who has worked closely with operators for years to drive down fleet costs, I’m really looking forward to exhibiting at this year’s FORS Annual Conference.
I’ll be there representing Fleetmaxx Solutions, showcasing our full suite of fuel and fleet cost reduction tools – designed to help FORS members like you stay compliant, competitive, and cost-effective.
From competitive fixed-price fuel cards and AdBlue® savings, to our market-leading Fleetloc8 tracking and FORS-compliant camera systems, everything we offer is geared towards improving efficiency and safety across your fleet.
Conference agenda
But as always, the FORS Conference isn’t just about the exhibition. It’s the industry’s best opportunity to reconnect, learn from one another, and get up to speed on the latest developments shaping the future of fleet operations.
The agenda looks especially strong this year – packed with insights and expert speakers covering compliance, safety, training, technology, and more. Here are a few sessions I’ll definitely be attending:
🔹 Opening Remarks & FORS Update (10:00 – 10:20)
Andy Salter and Geraint Davies will set the tone with key updates from FORS – always useful context for operators planning ahead.
🔹 Keynote from Kevin Rooney, Senior Traffic Commissioner (10:20 – 10:45)
Kevin will be sharing his perspective on ‘Compliance for tomorrow’s fleet’ – an increasingly important subject as regulations evolve.
🔹 Training & Safe Driving (10:45 – 11:10)
Glen Davies and Paul Smithson will explore how professional development and training (including through Protea) can shape a safer, more efficient fleet.
🔹 FORS Inaugural Operator Awards (12:00 – 12:15)
It’s fantastic to see outstanding operators getting recognition. I’ll be cheering you on from the exhibition hall!
🔹 Road Safety & Risk Management (12:15 – 12:55)
This includes both a talk from Brake – the road safety charity, and a panel discussion featuring DEKRA, Driving for Better Business, and Tarmac. Real insights from the frontline of risk.
🔹 Mental Health & Well-being (12:55 – 13:15)
An often-overlooked but critical part of running a responsible operation – I’m glad to see Mates in Mind on the agenda again this year.
🔹 Innovation & Technology Panel (15:10 onwards)
I’m always keen to see how emerging tech from Portland Analytics, DAF Trucks and Haulage Hub is helping fleets work smarter, not harder.
