Black Fleet Network (BFN) hosted BFN Live • Birmingham (BHM) on February 4, 2026. BFN Live is a regional reception held during Black History Month that brings together fleet and mobility professionals from across the Southeast and beyond. 

Attendees traveled from Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Virginia, Indiana, Texas, Arizona, and Minnesota, highlighting the organization’s expanding national reach.

The event brought together fleet directors, suppliers, field service leaders, public-sector representatives, and ecosystem partners for an evening of networking, collaboration, and professional development in the fleet industry.

Held at the historic Negro Southern League Museum, BFN Live • Birmingham emphasized relationship-building and knowledge exchange while recognizing Black leadership and contributions in fleet management. The location underscored BFN’s goal of creating inclusive industry spaces in regions that have historically seen limited live fleet-industry programming.

Program highlights included recognition of Cedric Roberts and his team for advancing regional mobility initiatives, remarks from representatives of Sourcewell and Fleetio, and an official welcome from the Office of Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin.

According to BFN, the event was intentionally designed to support meaningful engagement among members and partners while strengthening regional connections within the fleet and mobility ecosystem.

“BFN Live • Birmingham was about supporting the professionals who keep fleets operating every day,” said Exavious “Zā” Farley, founder of Black Fleet Network. “We wanted to create an environment where business conversations, collaboration, and community could come together in an authentic way.”

BFN Live • Birmingham is part of Black Fleet Network’s ongoing national event series aimed at expanding access, fostering professional growth, and supporting a more connected and inclusive fleet industry.
