Fleet Technology Expo Hall Sold Out
For the Aug. 24-26 conference on fleet efficiency held in Long Beach, Calif., event organizers have announced that the exhibit hall has officially sold out.


Fleet Technology Expo (FTX) announces a sold-out exhibit hall, giving attendees a range of booths to choose from including OEMs, alternative-fuel suppliers, telematics and fleet management companies, and other vendors geared toward fleet efficiency. FTX is coming up fast and will be held in Long Beach, Calif. on Aug. 24-26.
The 2015 event replaces the former Green Fleet Conference & Expo, expanding the educational topics to not only include alternative fuels but also fleet software and telematics, as well as education for heavy-duty fleets. With the tagline, “For Smart and Efficient Fleets,” the show and educational sessions focus on helping fleets increase their bottom line through sustainability and efficiency best practices.
“We knew that while alternative fuels are a great way to increase fleet efficiencies, there are many other strategies fleets use to save on fuel, and we wanted to ensure we were keeping with the times, keeping up with technology and offering our attendees a comprehensive look at what some of the best fleets are doing to make smart and sustainable decisions,” said Sherb Brown, vice president and group publisher of Automotive Fleet. “With a sold-out exhibit hall, the industry has made it clear that we made the right choice.”
Fleet and supplier attendees can register for the show online until Aug. 20 and will also have the opportunity to register onsite. For those registering onsite, you can expedite the process by printing and filling out the online form and bring it to the registration area upon arrival.
A full schedule is also available, including speakers and panelists for the various sessions. Keynote speakers for 2015 are Ian Wright, founder of Wrightspeed and co-founder of Tesla Motors who will present the topic, “Changing the Way We Think about Vehicle Technology.” Closing out the conference is Sheryl Connelly, a futurist for Ford Motor Co. presenting, “10 Trends Shaping the Future.” You can take a look at the full conference schedule here.
The 2015 and first-time winners of the Fleet Technology Expo Awards will also be announced.
