Description:
The LowCVP conference, which takes place in Westminster on 15 June, will be immediately followed by a 'World Cup Reception' enabling delegates to view the England v Trinidad and Tobago encounter on large TV screens while enjoying a post-conference drink and refreshments. The World Cup Reception is kindly sponsored by Lloyds TSB autolease. Meanwhile, speakers/leaders of the afternoon Conference Workshops have also been announced.
During the conference breaks and the World Cup Reception, delegates will also have the opportunity to visit exhibition stands and discuss low carbon developments with representatives of Partnership member companies and other organisations.*
The LowCVP conference will feature five 'Workshops' giving delegates the opportunity to contribute to discussions on future low carbon road transport, including the review of the Government's Powering Future Vehicles Strategy. The Workshop leaders come from a range of LowCVP partner organisations including leading 'think-tanks', motor companies and other key stakeholders.
