More than 155 fleet stakeholders from 21 countries attended the 2014 Global Fleet Conference in Brussels, Belgium, to share their insights on global fleet management.

During the two-day conference, 40 speakers and panel members shared their experience and hopes for global fleet management.

Among the subjects delivered to the packed house were how to set a global fleet strategy, how to handle compliance difficulties when developing a global fleet policy, and an overview of fleet markets — Russia, China, India, Australia, and the U.S.

"Over the two days, we saw some complex issues taken apart and explored by top tier fleet professionals," said Steven Schoefs, chief editor of Fleet Europe and Global Fleet. "The speeches from the podium and the debate from the conference floor was some of the best I've heard."

In 2015, the Global Fleet Management Conference will be returning to North America. The conference will be held at the Marriott Miami Biscayne Bay in Miami, Fla., June 15-16, 2015.
