September 6-7, 2021
De Vere Beaumont Estate, Old Windsor, UK
Embracing the dynamic changes in the fuel retail sector and the fast paced shift towards mobility, the cloud and the digital customer, PetroForum UK has rebranded to ReFuel UK.
For the first time in its 14-year history, this hugely popular event will take place in the UK. After months of upheaval and uncertainty, the need to connect, share and learn is more important than ever. PetroForum and C-StoreForum have consistently provided fuel and convenience retailers and suppliers with the answer - and we hope the new brand and the new UK location will make the decision to join us easier than ever.
The event is invitation-only and connects UK fuel and convenience retailers with a wide range of product and solution providers who can help take retail to the next level. Pre-arranged one-on-ones, lively debate on alternative fuels and a dive into the future of fuel and convenience retail lie at the heart of the two days.
Access to the most innovative retailers and suppliers in the region, showcasing some of the industry’s most innovative products and services.
Hear from thought leaders and best in class practitioners.

The momentum behind EVs is building, with leading car manufacturers announcing deadlines to cease production of fossil fuel powered vehicles. Our panel of experts will flesh out the pathway to successful EV integration: looking at the legislation behind the Road to Zero strategy, future technology requirements, cars of the future and energy storage and management systems.
This session is a deep dive into how retailers can build a sustainable E.V. offering. What part could the forecourt network play in providing sufficient charge points outside the home? Our panel of experts will discuss some key considerations:
- What is consumer and car manufacturer research telling us?
- Should retailers be planning now? What will be the challenges and what solutions are available?
- Is there support from government and trade associations?
We are delighted to announce that our after-dinner speaker will be ex-England cricketer, Geoff Miller, OBE.

Miller, who domestically played for Derbyshire and Essex, was an outstanding all-rounder and has fantastic statistics to support this.
"ReFuelForum allowed me to see so many customers and suppliers in one superb location. The topics debated were hugely relevant, representing the day-to-day issues fuel retailers face. I just can’t believe how productive my time was and how much I managed to achieve. A great two days."
