When you put hundreds of fleet operators, telematics service providers, connectivity experts, and technology innovators under one roof, you get more than just an industry conference. This year’s Telematics and Connected Mobility provides concentrated insight into the future of the field.
Over two tracks and two full days, the event welcomes everyone with a stake in vehicle operations. Whether you run a handful of delivery vans, manage hundreds of log-haul trucks, or create the software and devices that power fleet management, there’s something here for you.
While building the agenda over the course of several months, we ensured that every session would be worth your time, but a few stand out as must-sees.
Here’s our team’s take on the speeches you should make room for in your schedule, and why.
Cleaning Morocco: how telematics and AI keep 7 million citizens’ streets tidy, Moaad El Aboudi, Insight Solutions
In Morocco, telematics is transforming the way cities handle waste management. Thanks to Insight Solutions, over 10,000 sensors and trackers now live in garbage trucks, street sweepers, and even inside the bins themselves. The setup enables waste management operators to understand fuel usage, route efficiency, and bin fill levels in real-time.
The impact has been substantial: 13 cities, 7 million people served daily, 22% shorter routes, 30% fewer missed pickups, and 18% faster bin turnover, and adding an AI layer took it further. Vision models now detect overflows and hazards on the fly, while a chatbot can answer a dispatcher’s “Which streets are still dirty?” in seconds.
Of course, rollout came with lessons in change management, privacy concerns, and the importance of early quick wins to keep city halls invested. The result is a playbook any city could adapt, even with limited budgets.
Why attend: Learning from real-world deployments like this helps both telematics service providers and fleet owners see what’s possible and what pitfalls to avoid.

Perception vs reality: the actual trends and features of the European fleet telematics market, Andrew Jackson, PAVE Insight
If you think you know the European fleet telematics market, Andrew Jackson from PAVE Insight might change your mind. With over 18 years in automotive research and connected mobility, he brings both breadth and depth to this topic.
His session takes a data-driven look at the market: starting with why vehicle age is as important as total vehicle count, then examining the penetration of telematics and where untapped potential remains. He’ll reveal the most and least common telematics features (based on PAVE Insight research across 240 companies and 1,300 products), pointing out missed opportunities for differentiation.
Andrew will also dig into hardware patterns of the market, the looming 3G sunset, and mobile network operator coverage, mapping out connectivity strengths and weaknesses throughout Europe. The session will close with a forward-looking analysis of where the biggest opportunities lie, backed by hard market data.
Why attend: For TSPs, fleet owners, and even investors, understanding both the current and near-future landscape of fleet management is essential for product planning, procurement, and staying competitive.
AI in telematics: from architecture to impact
Artificial intelligence has been present in telematics for quite a while now, shaping operations in very practical ways. Three sessions on the agenda capture that reality from different angles.
First, Telematics meets AI: architecture, implementation, and business impact, by Aliaksei Shchurko, CEO at Gurtam, walks through how to integrate AI into telematics platforms not just as a bolt-on feature, but as a deeply embedded part of the workflow.
Then, AI-powered mobility: vision, precision, prediction by Arturs Burnins, CEO and Founder at ATOM Mobility, explores specific use cases like parking compliance, vehicle damage detection, and demand forecasting. This is a look at deployed systems and what they’ve delivered in measurable results.
The second-day panel discussion, What’s next for mobility?, pulls the lens back to include AI alongside other industry forces such as electrification. Moderated by Amy Nordrum, Executive Editor of MIT Technology Review, and featuring leaders from across the mobility spectrum, it connects today’s AI innovations to tomorrow’s operational realities.
Why attend: AI is everywhere, and fleet operations are no exception. Learning how to integrate it effectively and hearing from those already doing it can help you move faster, avoid common missteps, and find the sweet spot between automation and human oversight.
