NAFA Fleet Management Assn. has set the dates for its three-day International Fleet Academy. The three-day event will take place Oct. 21-23, 2013 at the Loews Ventana Canyon in Tucson, AR.
The 3rd Annual International Fleet Academy will seek to demystify global fleet management as experts and panel discussions provide cost-savings strategies, offer strategic overviews on the differences among countries and cultures, list the right questions to ask during the request for information or request for quote processes, and present lessons on how to decrease your corporate liability by avoiding international insurance pitfalls.
In addition to over 15 educational sessions, the conference offers networking opportunities throughout the day and a cocktail reception and dinner each night, NAFA said.
“Whether you are just building the infrastructure for a global fleet or are an experienced professional with a complex fleet that spans across numerous nations and cultures, NAFA’s International Fleet Academy will benefit you,” said NAFA’s Executive Director, Phillip E. Russo, CAE. “From the educational sessions to the opportunity to network with other fleet professionals facing the same global challenges that you are, this conference is a must-attend event for the serious global fleet professional.”
