Fleet Forward Conference Defined

Since 2018, the Fleet Forward Conference has delivered fleet solutions on electrification, connected vehicles, autonomous technology, last-mile mobility, IoT, shared mobility, Fleet Management as a Service, and next-generation telematics.

“Fleet Forward Conference is designed to give fleets a roadmap to the future, encompassing all types of new technologies, systems, and cutting-edge strategies to make fleets more efficient, productive, safe, and sustainable,” said Chris Brown, conference chair.
