Editors note<br />
Happy New Decade!<br />
It’s strange to think that as we enter <strong>20</strong><strong>20</strong> most of the<br />
technologies that form part of our every day lives, were<br />
not available ten years ago.<br />
Uber, Instagram, contactless payments, wireless<br />
headphones, smart home devices, online shopping.<br />
Back in <strong>20</strong>09 none of these existed.<br />
If you’d told me ten years ago I could pay for fuel using<br />
my watch, that I could order fuel delivery to my home or<br />
that autonomous vehicles would be being piloted on our<br />
streets, I’m not sure I would have believed you.<br />
When I think about how far we have come in such a<br />
short space of time it excites me to think where we<br />
might find ourselves in the next ten years. Technology<br />
presents so many opportunities for this industry and I<br />
am excited to see what new technologies emerge and<br />
how we as an industry work together to take on the<br />
challenges and make the most of the opportunities that<br />
are presented to us.<br />

<strong>forecourttech</strong> will be back for its third outing from 6-7<br />
October <strong>20</strong><strong>20</strong> at the Asia Gardens Hotel & Thai Spa in<br />
Alicante, Spain. We are currently working hard behind<br />
the scenes on a number of exciting initiatives to ensure<br />
that the event remains fit for purpose and maintains it<br />
focus on the evolving retail forecourt.<br />
I look forward to being able to share the details with you<br />
soon.<br />
Enjoy the issue.<br />
