Keynote: The Fleet Manager & The AI Coworker. A conversation not to be missed.
WORDS BY AUTOGURU
AI
is no longer a future concept; it’ s here, reshaping most industries and will enable more efficient fleet decisions and operations.
At the 2026 Australasian Fleet Education & Leadership Summit, Eden Shirley, Founder and Managing Director of FleetGuru. ai, will deliver a keynote designed to challenge, provoke, and most importantly, educate fleet professionals on the future of coworking with AI.
Held at Rosehill Gardens in Sydney from May 19 – 20, this year’ s Summit theme,“ Powered by Connection”, couldn’ t be more relevant. Because the next leap in fleet performance will come from smarter, connected intelligence.
AI That Actually Gets the Job Done
Forget dashboards. Forget static reports. Eden’ s keynote centres on the shift from generative AI to agentic AI, where systems don’ t just analyse or recommend, they act:
Real-time analysis, automated approvals, vehicle scheduling, supplier coordination, decision support, and more.
For fleet teams under pressure to move faster with fewer resources, this is a game changer. AI becomes a hands-on teammate, handling the operational load so managers can focus on performance, cost control, and strategy.
" Fleet managers are time-poor and datarich. AI is the bridge between those two realities."- Eden
A conversation with AI
This isn’ t a product demo; there are no slides. This will be a live conversation with Mic, a purpose-built AI coworker for fleet managers.
On stage, Eden will speak with Mic to demonstrate how AI can respond, problem-solve, and support fleet operations in real time.
This is not a theory session; it’ s here and can help to:
- Reduce admin overload- Accelerate decision-making- Improve vehicle uptime- Turn data into immediate action
