In addition to the opportunity to mix and mingle with fleet and automotive representatives from across the world, attendees will be able to broaden their knowledge of global fleet operations through a series of keynotes and concurrent sessions.

The opening keynote address will be delivered by Bruce MacLaren, Global Auto Program manager for Microsoft, on the theme of "Think Global and Act Local -- Why and How." Other keynotes and general sessions will tackle the topics of how global operations vary according to market and the challenges of emerging markets, including Brazil, Russia, and China.

Concurrent sessions will drill down into more detail on a range of topics, covering global best practices, how to overcome the challenges of developing corporate fleet policies, how to engage global fleet stakeholders, and how to develop a global supplier strategy.

A unique aspect of the conference will occur during the opening night dinner. Attendees will be assigned tables and will work together to solve a specific global fleet management issue. The outcome of each table's discussion will be presented the following day during a special seminar session.
