The Fleet Forward Conference has opened its Call for Papers submission process for the 2021 event. FFC21 will take place at the historic Hayes Mansion San Jose Nov. 10-12. A portion of the agenda will be offered virtually.

FFC21 is designed to educate fleet operators on solutions surrounding electric vehicles and infrastructure, connected vehicles, autonomous technology, last-mile delivery, IoT, shared mobility, Fleet Management as a Service, next-generation telematics, and more.

Applicants with a seminar idea and/or a speaker that addresses these topics are invited to submit an abstract for consideration.

Building off the successful virtual event convened in 2020, FFC21 will consist of keynotes, panel discussions, breakout sessions, and networking events, as well as interactive tabletop exhibits and a vehicle ride-and-drive.

“We’re excited to continue the tradition of thought leadership for fleets when it comes to cutting-edge solutions,” said Chris Brown, conference chair. “And the hybrid component of the 2021 event adds another dimension entirely. We’ll be extending our thought leadership and learnings to participants across the globe.”

Are You Tracking Your Fleet's True Total Cost of Ownership?

Bobit Business Media surveyed 190 fleet professionals and found that while most fleets are tracking costs, fragmented systems and data gaps are keeping true TCO visibility out of reach. With rising pressure to control spend in an increasingly volatile environment, the gap between what fleets think they know and what the data actually shows is wider than you might expect. See how your peers are managing costs today and where the industry still has room to improve.
