Exciting times continue here at NETS! In just a few weeks on September 21 & 22, 2021 we will be hosting our second ever NETS Regional Road Safety Conference in Latin America (LATAM). This is a major undertaking and one which is designed to continue the expansion of NETS mission to reduce risk and save lives across the globe. As noted in previous conference broadcasts, this conference will be virtual allowing quick and efficient access for everyone. Final plans are falling in place at this very time with an impressive lineup of keynote, member and sponsor presentations where real-world solutions will be shared on some of the most pressing LATAM road safety challenges. The conference is certain to resonate with NETS members and non-members alike who carry a multi-national road safety footprint and we invite you to join us if your company fits that profile. Registration is open now through the conference!

Looking beyond our LATAM conference, planning efforts are also well underway for NETS Annual Strength IN NUMBERS® Fleet Safety Conference taking place October 19-21. This conference will also be held in a virtual format to provide greater accessibility for everyone. Record attendance during last year’s virtual conference provided yet another memorable experience and this year’s event promises to be one of our best on record as we continue to build momentum and attract some of the most respected road safety experts across the industry. Mark your calendars and register now!

As an additional reminder, NETS Sector meetings will be held again this year – for the third year in a row – the week after the annual conference to give members and sponsors an even deeper review of road safety issues and challenges within their respective industry sector. Road safety leaders from Agriculture, Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGV), Insurance and Utility organizations are expected to come together the week of October 25th for these value added meetings. As further details are finalized, meeting times and dates will be communicated to all. Read more about last year's sector meetings where updated information will be posted soon!

Mobile device distractions put employees in danger and companies at risk. So why would anyone settle for safety measures that simply report what went wrong, or only work when people remember to turn them on? TRUCE Software automatically suspends distracting mobile apps and functions depending on what your employee is doing, where they are working or even the workgroup they are part of. You define the policy and TRUCE ensures compliance when and where it’s needed. Supporting more than 100,000 subscribers and some of the largest brands worldwide, our patented technology is making workplaces everywhere safer.
