Now in its 17^th year, the Convention attracts national and international delegates with an anticipated audience of 300-400 for the 2018 even following extremely positive feedback in recent years and our success in winning the Trade Association Forum’s Event of The Year in 2015. 

The attendees are primarily end users, in particular H&S managers and supervisors, though the numbers are supplemented by a number of FLTA members along with leading figures from bodies concerned with fork lift safety (such as RTITB, ABA, other trade associations, logistics press etc).

The format for the conference – which will be held at the Heart of England Conference Centre on 3^rd October 2018 – commences with refreshments, a general introduction, a short presentation from you, as the sponsor and a keynote from a senior representative of the HSE. This is then followed by a number of case studies presented by winners of the FLTA Safe Site Award winners and short, practical talks from experts in different aspects of fork lift operation and safety. There is then a lively Q&A session with a hand-picked panel, hosted by the Chair of the FLTA Quality Committee.

The event concludes with a motivational speech from one of the UK’s leading speakers.

Lunch is then served at approximately 14.00 in the marque where delegates can talk to a select group of suppliers of safety-related products and services.

The day earns delegates 4 hours of CPD points.

The cost of sponsorship – which has not been increased for the past 3 years – is £7500 +VAT.
