** Please RSVP at: https://4142298.xyz/jax-tech-meetup/events/301446511/ **

Our Fall (updated to Winter due to hurricane Milton) event for 2024 is showcasing some of the deep innovation happening here in Jax around Transportation Tech, including Electric Vehicles, Autonomous Vehicles, and automated transportation. We have a surprising number of large local enterprises who are at the forefront of this industry and will be sharing the latest tech, business innovations, and forward looking opportunities in the EV / AV arena.

We have a special location this time and will be hosting the event at Miller Electric, where you will be able to see first hand innovations including the Electric Vehicle Innovation Design Center (EVIDC), a fully autonomous long haul truck from Crowley, and an autonomous downtown shuttle from the JTA. You don’t want to miss this one!
As always, we are starting off with a networking happy hour and wrapping it up with live music, food and drink, and fantastic fellowshipping with this amazing community of innovators and technologists here in Jax!

Featured Speakers:
Kerri Stewart – Chief Strategy Officer, Miller Electric & President, Miller EV Solutions
Miller Electric has pioneered an Electric Vehicle Innovation Design Center which is open to the public and being used by companies in the EV industry around the world. Learn about the tech and business of the EV charging industry and what innovations are on the horizon. Kerri will share insights about the industry, some of the tech behind it, and you will get to see the EVIDC first hand at the event.

Sean Fortener – Head of Innovation, Crowley
Crowley is another long time Jacksonville company who is now disrupting the supply chain and transportation logistics in a number of ways. How will AV trucking work for ports, charging, and hubs?

In addition, you will be able to see a fully autonomous truck onsite to see the state of the art in commercial transportation tech first hand.

The JTA has been making several advancements around Autonomous and Electric vehicles for the city of Jacksonville.
