The 2024 Electric Utility Fleet Managers Conference (EUFMC) will once again bring fleet professionals together this June 2 – 5 in Williamsburg, Virginia. This conference, now meeting for more than 70 years, is a highly anticipated event for all attendees. From fleet managers to vendors, those who travel to the conference year after year find value in the ongoing relationships they make and strengthen at the event.
As the electric utility sector evolves, fleet technology and workforce development continue to be key focus areas. EUFMC 2024 will showcase technologies and practices that not only enhance operational efficiency but also contribute to sustainability and safety.
On Monday, June 3, a drive-through utility equipment demonstration will take place and an equipment show will follow that afternoon.
The outdoor show is the site of more than 60 displays of the latest vehicles, tools, and services. This hands-on experience allows fleet managers to see the newest innovations in action and evaluate their potential impact on their operations.
From aerial equipment to maintenance and software solutions, the equipment show is a highlight for all who attend.
Shane Kimbrough, vice president of strategic operations at Quanta Services and a former NASA astronaut, will serve as the dinner speaker. Selected by NASA in 2004, he has made two spaceflights to the International Space Station.
From Tuesday, June 4 to Wednesday, June 5, EUFMC 2024 will feature a series of educational sessions led by industry experts, thought leaders, and key decision-makers.
On the EUFMC General Session Agenda (subject to change) are the following topics: safety and leadership, regulatory updates, fleet EV charging, 2027 diesel engine mandates, AI opportunities in fleet, technician recruiting and retention, EV maintenance, cost and acceptance mutual assistance planning for fleet managers, and fleet culture.
The keynote address for the conference will be given by Mathias Carlbaum, president and chief executive officer of Navistar, Inc.
One of the hallmarks of EUFMC is the unique opportunity it offers for fleet managers and others in the industry to network and collaborate during roundtable discussions.
During these sessions, fleet representatives and suppliers draw from mutual challenges they face and find and consider new solutions.
EUFMC will also feature the second annual Women in Utility Fleet gathering and special activities, including tours, golf outings, events for spouses, and more.
