Keynote speeches included talks by Kim Lear, founder and content director for Inlay Insights, on the growing impact of the sharing economy, and by Shawn DuBravac, chief economist for the Consumer Technology Association, on how the “age of data” is transforming the way we work.
The roundtable also featured a preview of Element’s next-generation, analytics-driven fleet management system, and an in-depth look at Element’s new native driver application and responsive website that allows drivers to complete fleet tasks quickly and efficiently.
“Fleet management continues to change at a rapid pace and Fleet Roundtable creates a shared environment for thought leaders and industry experts to discuss emerging trends like the sharing economy and autonomous and connected vehicles,” said Kristi Webb, president and CEO of Element Fleet Management, North America
