The last few years have been difficult for everyone due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but on top of that the industry has faced challenges due to the net zero and decarbonisation targets and the inability to get together properly to discuss how best these targets can be met. Last year UKIFDA EXPO went virtual for the first time with over 50 exhibitors and 700 delegates, The feedback from attendees and peers was that it was a great event but as Ken Cronin, UKIFDA CEO stated: “While the Virtual EXPO of 2021 was a great success nothing beats actually getting together. EXPO 2022 brings back that feeling and incorporates some of the best parts of the things we have adopted over the last few years – yes, we can do things differently. I look forward to meeting you all in April 2022” Therefore, UKIFDA EXPO 2022 has been renamed UKIFDA EXPO 2022 & Future Fuels and this year there is a
particular emphasis on getting back together and the future of the industry. Themed ‘Back for the Future’ The theme of this year’s EXPO is ‘Back for the Future.’ Apart from reuniting the industry physically, the exhibition and conference will be focusing on the future. Four Forums – one big event There are four elements to EXPO 2022 - the Exhibition, the Future Fuels Conference, the Awards Dinner & Reception and the Exhibition App The Exhibition features around 100 exhibitors attracting owners of fuel distributors, depot managers, and personnel within HR, IT, finance and marketing, all operating across the manufacturing, distribution, supply, and technology sectors of the industry
