About the Series
Learn the technology shaping modern fleets
The Compass 2026 Illinois Meetings bring MCA and CompassCom directly to your community for a hands-on, vendor-neutral education day. Across two cities and four sessions, you'll see how radio location, vehicle & asset tracking, mobile communications, and snowplow GPS come together to keep people safe and operations running.
