“As many businesses expand their fleet operations into new international territories and regions, it is essential that fleet managers and key decision makers have a keen understanding of the rules, regulations and complexities of each of these regions,” said Jim Creighton, vice president global operations and chairman of the board for Global Fleet Services (GFS). “This conference provides a place where fleet leaders can get a true global perspective and share ideas, strategies and issues.”
