From August through November 2020, thousands of attendees came together digitally to learn about the latest trends, policies, and technologies driving the future of fleet transportation. GNA’s new online event series, ACT Virtual, served as a digital complement to the ACT Expo conference — North America’s largest advanced transportation event. ACT Virtual featured 19 days of unique programming with industry thought leaders delivering education-packed keynotes, panels, technical demonstrations, press conferences, networking events, and more. Watch the exciting 2-minute highlight reel below!
You can now access 100+ speaker presentations and sessions on demand at no cost via our online library. Plus, downloadable slides from our lineup of 160+ expert speakers are also available as an educational tool to give you and your fleet something to discuss through the remainder of this year and into 2021, when we will once again host our live event — ACT Expo.
