Powered Up returns on Wednesday 20 January 2027 and moves to Sea Containers London on the South Bank. This year’s edition is brought to you by title partner Pod, the leading EV charging provider. Close Brothers Asset Finance is associate partner and Greenwoods is event partner.
Powered Up is a curated, discussion-led forum built around one question: how can businesses electrify their fleets in this next phase of the UK’s transition?
The 2027 edition, Leading The Transition, runs from midday to 6pm across an opening keynote and five panel discussions, and closes with the Powered Up networking reception. Attendance is deliberately capped to keep the discussion senior and the networking worth a day out of the office.
Past editions have brought together directors and decision-makers from vehicle finance, fleet, energy, charging infrastructure, policy, local government and the vehicle manufacturers, supported by partners including Close Brothers Asset Finance, Motability Operations, Believ, Landis+Gyr, Geely, Barron McCann, EDF and char.gy.
Powered Up 2026 sold out ahead of the day, with a waitlist. If you want to be in the room in 2027, book early.

Inside the Room
Why Attend?
Because the transition is now a delivery question, not a technology one.
Powered Up is built for senior people who need straight answers on how the next phase gets funded, built and run. Six hours, one room, capped numbers, and a programme that runs from financing and commercial fleets through to international lessons, AI and autonomy.
The networking is the other half of the day. Registration, refreshments and a long afternoon break are built into the schedule, and the day closes with the Powered Up reception.
It is not about ticking boxes. It is about unlocking action.
Who Should Attend?
Powered Up 2027 is open to anyone working across the transition. Typical attendees include:
- Fleet and leasing leaders
- Vehicle finance, investment and asset management professionals
- Energy, grid and charging infrastructure providers
- Local and national government representatives
- Vehicle manufacturers, automotive and logistics innovators
- Policy, planning and sustainability experts
Tickets start at £99 and numbers are capped. The 2026 edition sold out ahead of the day and ran a waitlist, so early booking is advised.
