NAFA Presents Mastering International Fleet Management Seminar, November 1-3 At Jupiter, Florida

Running a fleet in multiple countries is not just about learning the laws in those regions or understanding your financing options.  You have to understand each country’s culture and history, how businesses function, and how workers perceive "outsiders."  Once those areas are understood, you can get on to the business of managing your company’s fleet and leading your counterparts in other countries to get everyone on the same page.

NAFA’s first-ever Mastering International Fleet Management seminar is an intense three-day, deep-dive into the complexities of running a multi-national fleet.  The event begins by discussing a real-life case study during the opening cocktail reception and ends with you working hand-in-hand with other fleet managers to resolve the issue.  In between, attendees will learn about the intricacies of developing and implementing fleet policies in numerous regions, understanding the components of Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) in various countries, and the impact of environmental issues on decision-making.

Because of the hands-on case study participation, there is limited seating. Register now for this event, as there is every expectation that seats will sell out fast.

As an extra value, attendees will leave NAFA’s Mastering International Fleet Management with real-life tangible resources, including:
