During the conference, sessions will include Pitcher's "Changing a Corporate Safety Culture from the Top Down and the Bottom Up," Castillo's "The Role of Company Culture in Starting, Building and Sustaining a Road Safety Program," and Hanley's "Building a Fleet Safety Program and Enhancing Your Corporate Image through Road Safety Community Outreach."

The conference will also cover combatting driver distractions, the latest trends in vehicle safety engineering, predictive analysis, and new paradigms in driver safety and how they're making a difference today.
