Election Day is right around the corner — and so is Fleet Week in sunny San Diego! As the nation prepares for what may be a heated night, it’s important to pause, take a deep breath, and look at the facts. Understand that we’re all navigating through this together.
While the event coincides with Election Day, we want to encourage everyone to get involved by ensuring you’re registered and ready to vote. In many places, there’s still time to register or update your voting information if needed. Some states even allow same-day registration; check your state’s details.
And remember, early voting or absentee ballots are a great way to ensure your voice is heard — before you hop on that flight to San Diego.
Not yet registered for Fleet Week? It’s not too late for that, either. The 2024 Fleet Forward Conference and Fleet Safety Conference will be held together November 6-8 at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina. Rounding out “Fleet Week” in San Diego, this year’s Global Fleet Conference will also occur at the Sheraton Marina from November 4-6.
After all the votes have been cast, join us as we come together to celebrate something that unites us all — our shared passion for the fleet industry and a forward-looking focus on technology, safety, and innovation. No matter the outcome of the elections, Fleet Week will be a place where we rise above the day-to-day challenges and look ahead to what’s next for fleets in 2025 and beyond.
As I said in a post on LinkedIn, “It’s easy to get caught up in the heat of the moment, but now more than ever, it’s important to pause, take a deep breath, and look at the facts. Understand that we’re all navigating through this together.
“We need to be decent to each other. It’s that simple. This isn’t about who’s right or wrong. It’s about treating each other with respect, even when we disagree. It’s about showing up as humans first. The world is complicated, but to take a lesson from my nine-year-old daughter — kindness doesn’t have to be. So, let’s challenge ourselves to rise above the noise, to listen more than we speak, and to lead with empathy.”
The Global Fleet and Fleet Forward teams at Bobit are excited to gather as a fleet family and celebrate what makes our industry special: resilience, adaptability, and our commitment to progress. We’ll discuss new solutions, connect with peers, and plan for a successful 2025 — working together to make our industry and world better and safer every day.
One of the things that makes the fleet industry so amazing is the incredible level of cooperation and ability to work together regardless of sub-industry or job title. Let’s use those skills no matter what happens in November.
Let’s make this event a celebration of what’s to come, regardless of the election outcome. See you in San Diego!
