Government Fleet Expo & Conference 2026 Exhibitor List

After 48 years in the fleet industry—32 of those in public service—Larry Campbell, CPFP, has seen firsthand how leadership, culture, and strategy shape long-term success. In this keynote, Campbell shares his personal and professional evolution, from early challenges to building a nationally recognized operation in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Under his leadership, the city earned repeated recognition on NAFA’s 100 Best Fleets list—including the #1 spot in 2006—and was frequently named among Government Fleet ’s Leading Fleets. Drawing on decades of experience, including being named 2012 Public Sector Fleet Manager of the Year, 2022 Professional Manager of the Year-Public Fleet for the American Public Works Association (APWA), and a founding inductee of the Government Fleet Hall of Fame, Campbell offers a candid look at accountability, communication, and setting a vision that resonates from frontline staff to city leadership. Attendees will hear real stories about overcoming failure, earning trust, and managing long-term change. Topics include performance measurement, facility planning, and the organizational shifts required to build a sustainable and resilient fleet. While every operation is different, the leadership challenges are often the same—and this session delivers lessons from someone who’s spent a career navigating them.
