SESSION DESCRIPTIONS
The Human Side of Fleet Evolution
Fleet transformation isn’t driven by vehicles or systems alone; it’s powered by people.
This session centers the human dynamics behind major operational change, from electrification and technology adoption to workforce turnover and evolving expectations. Public-sector fleet leaders and workforce experts will explore how emotional intelligence, inclusive leadership, and intentional change management help teams navigate uncertainty, reduce resistance, and sustain morale – particularly in high-stakes municipal environments.

Beyond the Wrench: Preparing Teams for Emerging Technology
As fleet operations evolve beyond traditional maintenance, government fleet teams must adapt to a
rapidly expanding technology landscape.
This panel broadens the conversation beyond EVs and ADAS to include emerging tools such as AI-enabled fleet systems, predictive maintenance platforms, connected vehicle data, and digital diagnostics. Panelists will discuss how agencies are preparing technicians and frontline staff through training, cross-functional collaboration, and strategic workforce planning; ensuring teams are equipped not just to service vehicles, but to operate within increasingly intelligent fleet ecosystems.

From Hype to Hard Results: How Fleet Managers Are Actually Using Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence is no longer theoretical in fleet operations, but many managers are unsure how to apply it beyond dashboards and vendor demos.
This session cuts through the noise to focus on real, practical uses of AI that fleet managers can deploy to improve uptime, reduce costs, and make better decisions with limited staff and budgets. Fleet and technology leaders will share how AI is used for functions such as preventive maintenance planning, failure prediction, labor optimization, reporting, and more. The discussion emphasizes real workflows, not abstract strategy; highlighting what works, what does not, and how to start small without large capital investments or IT overhauls.
