The agenda for the 2019 Fleet Forward Conference has been posted on the conference website. The conference convenes Nov. 11-13 at The Forager in San Jose.
Fleet Forward Conference is designed to educate fleet operators regarding all types of mobility solutions with the goal to create more efficient fleets.
The conference’s educational agenda covers topics surrounding connected vehicle data, next-generation telematics and video technology, electric vehicle implementation and valuation, advanced safety technology, fleet data integration, shared mobility, Smart Cities, and others.
Networking opportunities include two cocktail receptions, four meals, and four coffee breaks. New for 2019 is an exhibitor area for tabletop displays, which will be open during the receptions and breaks. The agenda also includes a ride and drive and vehicle technology demonstrations.
“While Fleet Forward is designed to give fleets a roadmap to the future, the conference’s educational focus is on the cutting-edge strategies, systems, and technologies that fleets can implement today,” said Chris Brown, conference chair.
The seminars are divided into plenary sessions, Tek Talks, and Campfire Discussions. The seminar presenters and panelists are a mix of representatives from fleet management companies, telematics service providers, fleet service companies, tech and mobility providers, and auto manufacturers as well as the fleet managers themselves.
Registration for the Fleet Forward Conference will open soon.
