The Block Party brings attendees together for a hands-on introduction to GFX. Part Ride & Drive and part networking event, it offers time to explore vehicles, experience new technology, and connect with other fleet professionals before the full conference schedule gets underway. It is an opportunity to start conversations that can continue throughout the event.
Get behind the wheel and learn how the latest vehicles and fleet technology perform beyond the display floor. The Ride & Drive allows attendees to experience vehicle handling, features, and capabilities firsthand, while the vehicle showcase provides a closer look at equipment built for today’s fleet operations. Attendees can speak directly with product experts and consider how the available options may fit their own fleet requirements.
The Block Party creates a more relaxed setting for continuing conversations outside traditional conference sessions. Food trucks, games, and music from a live DJ give attendees space to reconnect with colleagues, meet new industry contacts, and discuss what they experienced during the Ride & Drive. It is a working networking opportunity without the formality of a meeting room.
Built from the exhibitor catalogue: every company listed under vehicle manufacturers and resellers, plus the equipment partners who bring hardware. It updates itself as the catalogue fills.
The Block Party & Experience is a great representation of what GFX is as a whole — an opportunity to make connections with other industry professionals while getting a better understanding of the vehicles changing the dynamics of the fleet world. It’s a great way to get introduced to the conference and have some fun in the meantime.

It’s a great way to kick off the conference, warm up some networking, and get a little hands-on with new ideas. It’s the first chance to get re-acquainted with friends from the last conference.
