NAFA Fleet Management Association (NAFA) announced its 2020 Institute & Expo will be delivered as a premium interactive virtual experience, presented online from September 14 - 17, 2020.
Mindful of the continuing uncertainty about live events and travel restrictions among member companies, NAFA is pivoting from an in-person event to an online model, ensuring that everyone can benefit from access to the essential tools and resources from I&E.
NAFA’s 2020 I&E Virtual event, will feature four virtual conference days offering live Q&As, guided chat sessions, and networking events with peers and industry thought leaders from around the world, NAFA announced. Content from sessions featured during the I&E will be available on-demand after premiering, and attendees will have access to the content for two weeks after the virtual event.
“We believe that moving to a virtual event will enable attendees to take advantage of NAFA’s education and insights safely and securely,” said NAFA CEO Bill Schankel, CAE. “Given the unique circumstances of the times, NAFA affirms our commitment to providing best practice focused instruction while staying mindful of the safety and wellbeing of our attendees, exhibitors and all participants from the coronavirus.”
NAFA’s 2020 I&E Virtual will feature the latest information, tools, technologies, and solutions to meet the evolving needs of the dynamic world of fleet and mobility management. With an interactive expo floor and networking programs, attendees will engage and connect with fleet leaders from around the world from the comfort and safety of their own homes or offices.
More information on the new 2020 Institute & Expo Virtual Conference will be available on July 15, 2020, when the Association relaunches the I&E website, including updated information and registration.
