Dangerous Goods & Batteries: Managing Risk Across the Entire Lifecycle
Conference
The transport of dangerous goods is becoming increasingly complex as global supply chains evolve and new technologies emerge. Among today's most pressing challenges is the safe handling, storage, and transportation of lithium batteries, which are now widely used in electric vehicles, consumer electronics, energy storage systems, and industrial applications.
Join us for a dedicated conference bringing together industry experts, regulators, logistics professionals, manufacturers, emergency responders, and researchers to explore the latest developments in the transport of dangerous goods, with a special focus on lithium batteries.
The conference will address key topics including:
- Regulatory updates and international requirements (ADR, RID, IMDG Code, ICAO/IATA)
- Best practices for packaging, handling, and transport
- Risk management and fire prevention
- Incident response and emergency preparedness
- Innovations in battery technology and their implications for logistics
- Future challenges and opportunities for the transport sector
