TMS Teletrac Navman event line up brings industry leadership, government collaboration, and international learnings
With doors opening at 9.00am on Wednesday 13 March to the TMS Teletrac Navman Technology | Maintenance | Safety Conference & Exhibition and the Truck of the Year Australasia winner announced at 11.00am ahead of the conference’s official opening at midday, the event is set to kick off with a bang at the Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre.
The Hon. Matt Doocey will be officially opening the event with the Hon. Simeon Brown, Minister of Transport, beaming in remotely. Roading infrastructure and the need to invest in our network is a critical conversation topic – good roading is critical to our industry’s ability to function both sustainability and profitably. Being able to hear directly from Government paves the way for greater understanding of what the Government hopes to achieve and what challenges or limitations need to be overcome to deliver true benefits to both the transport industry and the wider New Zealand public.
