A New Winter Approach Digital Summit 2020
23rd – 27th November, 2020
For 2020, A New Winter Approach went digital! We couldn’t let Covid-19 put a stop to our plans to bring you the latest in winter maintenance.
Our Digital Summit brought over 100 delegates together during a week packed with free, bite-size expert talks, round table discussions and panel Q&A sessions.
Hot topics across the week included remaining compliant during the upcoming winter season with the added pressures of Covid-19, how winter weather affects active travel, and the innovations that are set to drive sustainability within the winter service sector.
If you missed out, don’t worry! We’ve uploaded the session recordings from the week for you to watch at a time that best suits you.
