NETS 2026 Conference is scheduled the same week and adjacent to the National Safety Council (NSC) Safety Congress & Expo, creating a convenient opportunity to engage with both employer-focused fleet safety peers and the broader safety community in a single trip.
At the same time, the NETS conference will retain the focused, intimate setting our attendees rely on, complemented by expanded access to the broader NSC community, with additional registration options available.
As the longest-running conference dedicated entirely to fleet safety, NETS offers a uniquely immersive experience where fleet safety is not just a track, but the focus of every session, discussion, and connection. Paired with NSC’s national emphasis on roadway and workplace safety, the week offers a strong mix of strategy, data, innovation, and actionable ideas.
