"The decision to hold EUFMC as a virtual conference in 2021 was not an easy one, but with uncertainty about pandemic restrictions and travel guidelines among attendee companies, it is the right choice,” said Jeffrey Schneider, EUFMC President and Manager Transportation at Louisville Gas & Electric-KU. “The board of directors is now working to develop and produce the industry’s leading event for utility fleet professionals in a virtual format for 2021 at a level of quality that has been the hallmark of EUFMC."
