Public Sector Hub 2024

Like the wider show, access to the Public Sector Hub is free, with lunch and refreshments included, but attendees will gain valuable insights that are specifically aimed at helping public sector fleets better manage their vehicles, budgets and zero emissions strategy. A mix of panels, seminars and roundtables will be held on both days of the conference featuring subject matter experts and case studies from public sector peers from government departments, local authority, bluelight fleets, housing associations and charities.

Ayvens, the UK’s biggest sustainable mobility provider, will have its team on hand to share public sector specific fleet knowledge and support. Not only is there a curated public sector fleet agenda, the event has been created to keep busy diaries in mind too. Government framework-approved suppliers will be highlighted on the wider Fleet & Mobility Live exhibition show floor, and there will be quiet zone remote working pods in case you need to jump on an important call. Each presentation, panel and roundtable will feature handy one slide overviews to help with demonstrating key takeaways back at the office after the show.
