On Tuesday, June 19, the breakfast will feature a keynote address by mountain climber and explorer John Amatt. He will discuss how to set realistic goals and expectations, take calculated risks, learn from setbacks, incorporate the power of teamwork into your daily activities and prevail in the face of what seem like insurmountable obstacles. 

Fifteen educational sessions allow fleet managers to take home valuable information to improve their fleets, with topics ranging from ethics to benchmarking to maintenance.
