The Fleet Forward Conference is designed to educate fleet operators regarding all types of mobility solutions with the goal to create more efficient fleets, while providing the fleet industry thought leadership on the road to the future. 

Last year’s educational agenda covered topics surrounding connected vehicle data, next-generation telematics and video technology, electric vehicle implementation and valuation, advanced safety technology, and shared mobility, among others.

Networking opportunities included two cocktail receptions, four meals, and four coffee breaks amid an exhibitor area for tabletop displays.

Attendees hailed from commercial, corporate, and government fleets, carsharing platforms, tech and mobility providers, auto manufacturers and dealers, fleet management companies, telematics service providers, technology companies, and fleet services.
