MEET THE FUEL RETAILING WORLD IN NICE
Be part of something special. The retail fuel marketplace shares commonality amongst every oil company and fuel retailer in the world, no matter how big or small. Collectively our industry serves every motorist on the planet. If that’s not special, then what is?
With the arrival of new retailing concepts, new forecourt technology and of course with the emergence of alternative fuels, exchanging experiences in common practice has never been so acutely relevant, helping us to find the right solutions for our businesses.
idac 19 invites oil companies, major fuel retailers and key suppliers from around the world, to come and listen to an international line up of industry speakers, for a lively programme of conference presentations, interviews and debates on the global business of fuel retailing.

STEERING IDAC IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION
One of several exciting features of idac 19, is that it will be steered by a group of senior retail executives from both sides of the industry, serving as an advisory forum on conference topics, speakers and the idac International Fuel Retailing Awards programme being staged in conjunction with this year’s event. More details coming soon.
In the meantime why not take a look at our previous events in Amsterdam and London, which collectively attracted over 500 industry delegates from major oil companies, retailing groups and international suppliers from around the world.
ON THE AGENDA
The idac steering committee group, will meet for the first time on 20 June, to report and advise on keynote speakers to be announced by July 30th. The aim is to help and secure participants from a wide variety of oil companies and major retailers from around the world.
Following the above meeting, the idac committee, established to work on the development of the idac 19 conference, recommended to not proceed with idac in 2019, as the committee felt it was unable to secure the number of high profile speakers from the oil companies and major retailers it was targeting. As a result the committee felt it just didn’t make sense to move forward at this stage and the organisers respectfully accept these considerations.
