Williamsburg is a wonderful family location. Children are welcome on the Saturday evening activity and the Sunday Afternoon Walking Tour.

EUFMC Attendees Say

EUFMC is the best conference for electric utility fleets. There is no other opportunity like this that provides such a balanced mix of equipment, relevant informational sessions, talented speakers and networking with other fleets and suppliers.
