From the economic outlook for 2027 to the practical challenges of acquiring, managing and remarketing vehicles, the BVRLA Industry Outlook Conference will bring together industry leaders and specialists to examine what lies ahead for rental and leasing businesses.

Taking place on Thursday 3 December at the British Motor Museum, Gaydon, the conference will combine perspectives on the industry's future with discussions focused on the day-to-day decisions facing members.

The opening session, The Leadership Lens: Looking Ahead to 2027, will see senior industry figures share their views on the opportunities and challenges ahead. Confirmed panellists include Shane Coomber of Leasys and Vince Pemberton of Rivervale, with further speakers to be announced.

The wider economic picture will be explored by Paul Hollingsworth, Head of DM Economics at BNP Paribas, who will consider the political and economic developments likely to influence businesses in 2027 and beyond. Delegates will also hear from Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) Chief Executive Tim Moss in conversation with BVRLA Chief Executive Toby Poston.

The afternoon's Lifecycle Exchange will take a closer look at the decisions and challenges businesses face throughout a vehicle's time on fleet, from acquisition and in-life management through to disposal.

A series of focused, interactive sessions will explore customer experience, commercial performance and changing market demands, giving delegates the opportunity to hear different perspectives, exchange experiences and take practical ideas back to their businesses.

The programme also includes time for networking, meeting exhibitors and catching up with industry colleagues.

This year's conference will also offer greater value for BVRLA members, with tickets available for just £50 for rental, leasing and leasing broker members, designed to make the event more accessible to more members.

The BVRLA thanks the conference's lead partner URG Rental Systems, the OEM partner INEOS Automotive, event partners The AA, Autotrader, cap hpi, Fleet Assist, Motorway, Nexus Rental and PEAC Solutions, and exhibitors AVILOO Battery Diagnostics, ECHOES, epyx, Jaama, Ketchup Marketing and Sharp for their support.
