Automotive Fleet, Work Truck, and Heavy Duty Trucking magazines announced the dates for Fleet Safety Experience, the virtual counterpart to the Fleet Safety Conference. FSE will convene online Sept. 21-23.
This virtual event will feature speakers and educational sessions for safety and risk management professionals from all fleet types. The program will provide solutions to the latest fleet safety challenges, offer current and expert insights, and practical education on improving the fleet safety of light- and heavy-duty truck and vehicle fleets.
The educational program is being curated now. Last year's virtual event covered topics such as best practices in managing high-risk drivers; understanding the new hours of service regulations for commercial drivers; how to cope with a fleet fatality or serious injury; and the fleet risk, tech and AI partnership. (These and other 2020 sessions are currently available on demand.)
Networking sessions also will be held on each day of the virtual conference.
In addition, top fleet safety professionals will be honored during the event, recognizing those whose leadership and innovation have enhanced the safety of fleet drivers and the general public. Watch for calls for nominations soon.
Registration for the 2021 Fleet Safety Experience will open soon. Attendance for the Fleet Safety Experience is free for fleets to attend. Suppliers can attend via a registration fee.
