On September 10–11, 2025, Gurtam will bring together the brightest minds in fleet management, telematics, IoT, and mobility at LITEXPO in Vilnius, Lithuania, for the Telematics & Connected Mobility conference. As the agenda is finally ready, here is my chart of the presentations I am going to visit. And I think these topics must be in demand for flespi users too.
AI tools in Telematics
Even though your news feed might prove the next point wrong, I personally think that AI is currently underhyped.
Aliaksei Shchurko, CEO at Gurtam, will share his experience implementing LLM-based tools in development and business processes. Expect direct practical advice about suppliers, models, architecture, and reflections about business impact with numbers and charts.
Arturs Burnins, CEO at ATOM Mobility, will try to prove the point that while everyone was obsessed with LLMs and image processing models, neural networks for data analysis became so cheap and reliable that the number of use cases where they can be implemented increased significantly. Being a very tech-savvy leader, he'll deliver a presentation about 3 real-life implementation examples in sharing mobility.
BLE Beacons experience
Heard a lot about BLE Beacons but were always afraid to try? There will be a dedicated 1.5-hour session for that.
Wandrille Lesueur from ELA Innovation – one of the most well-known BLE Beacon manufacturers in the world – will lay the groundwork for the technology. Following with 2 presentations of projects that successfully incorporated beacon usage: Jan Palas from AG Info will speak about peculiarities of using BLE beacons + Teltonika trackers in agriculture, while Chinmay Sharma from Ecit Autogear will prove the point that GPS trackers are not obligatory here.
It will all be summed up by Mykolas Mankevicius from Teltonika, who will touch on current BLE technology limitations and will try to look into the future where the limitations can be solved with Mesh technology.
Hardware manufacturers' novelties
It is always interesting to see how things are going with GPS hardware manufacturers.
Teltonika recently introduced the FTC platform, and one of the advantages is that devices may maintain a super precise position for some period of time even without a GNSS signal. Sounds interesting how they did it. Guoda Rimaitė will tell us more about it.
Kenneth Everett, CTO at Digital Matter, is an extremely experienced engineer. He will speak about their path of extending the usage scenarios of their devices, moving to battery-powered assets, and how tracking tasks can be solved using a hybrid approach where limited data from the hardware may be enriched using cloud services.
I am not very deep into fuel monitoring, but I always thought that a fuel sensor is something long, and if you want to install it – get prepared to drill the tank. Eitan Kirshenboim, CBDO at ERM Telematics, will speak about (and perform a live demonstration of!) a new type of compact and easy-to-install fuel sensor that uses hydrostatic pressure enhanced with on-edge sophisticated algorithms. I honestly tried to find something similar, and I didn't.
OEM
The clash between aftermarket telematics becomes more intense as more and more OEM manufacturers equip trucks and vehicles with data services. The topic is definitely interesting and will be covered in a separate panel discussion involving Sebastien Fraysse from Stellantis and Lukasz Chmielewski from High-Mobility (which we have recently integrated into flespi!).
Also, Vladislav Herchykau, CEO at Bamboo Group, will share his experience of onboarding OEM devices.
Cellular providers
IoT Cellular connectivity is a separate kind of art.
Artur Michalczyk, CTO at emnify, will demonstrate this by telling stories about hard tasks they solve with connectivity. In Telematics, devices MOVE: across borders, to low connectivity areas, often switching base stations. Devices are always in the middle of nowhere, making it super hard to debug if something happens.
Jacob Jagger from Onomondo, being an expert in cybersecurity, will touch on the point that communication must be secure, because devices report sensitive data about some pretty valuable assets (otherwise, why do we need to track them). And he'll speak about tools that connectivity providers have to help you with this.
Open-source
flespi is a platform for developers. Developers (usually) love open source. We have a telematics open-source living legend: Anton Tananaev, developer of Traccar. I would listen to whatever he says :)
Video Telematics
flespi released its video module almost 2 years ago.
Sergei Leuchanka, CEO at Telematics inSights, has been building a video telematics startup for almost a year. He will share the lessons learned and insights about peculiarities of different hardware, features demanded by early-stage customers, and obstacles met along the way.
And some of the most advanced developments in video telematics utilize image processing neural networks on the edge. What data can be extracted from the video flow and how to use it will be the ideas to hear from Jorit J. K. Schmelzle, CPO at peregrine.ai.
Where do we go?
To the bright future, of course!
Andrew Jackson from PAVE Insight will share the trends of our industry. Aliaksandr Kuushynau, Gurtam Chief Wialon Officer (try to find a C-level position with the same name in any other company :) will describe his vision of the future.
And a whole panel discussion led by Amy Nordrum from MIT Technology Review, with the participation of top-level executives from market leaders, will also be something I don't want to miss.
The conference is offline – NO live streaming. And the best part – networking breaks (yes, the flespi team will welcome all developers on-site!). You’ll be able to chat with speakers face-to-face, bounce around fresh ideas, make new connections, explore hardware demos, and ask your burning questions.
