The NAFA Fleet Management Association recently revealed the dates and locations for the NAFA Institute & Expo in 2019 and 2021.
For 2019, the association's annual conference will be hosted at the Kentucky International Convention Center, in Louisville, Ky.; and in 2021, it will be hosted at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, in Pittsburgh, Pa. The 2020 dates have yet to be announced.

The announcement has revealed a shorting of the average duration of the expo from four days down to three. The expo in Louisville in 2019 will be hosted April 15 to 17, and the Pittsburgh expo in 2021 would be held April 12 to 14.
“The change to a three-day event from four days came directly from member feedback,” said NAFA CEO Phillip E. Russo, CAE. “The Association conducts post-conference surveys each year, and a frequent concern for attendees involved their time out of the office. The new I&E schedule provides powerful, concentrated education and networking – very close to current levels – and shortens time away from work.”
This year’s Institute & Expo will be held April 24 to 27 in Anaheim, Calif. The conference offers ample networking opportunities, first hand-experience with the latest fleet products on the I&E expo floor, and educational sessions.
AI is no longer a future concept for fleets—it’s already embedded in the tools, data, and decisions that operators rely on every day.

As fleets rethink how they capture, manage, and act on vehicle data, telematics is at a major inflection point. In this episode of the Fleet Forward Podcast, we dive deep into one of the most pressing questions facing fleet leaders today: Should you rely on OEM factory-installed connectivity, aftermarket devices, or a hybrid of both?
Experts from telematics analytics, fleet-as-a-service operations, and national EV benchmarking share how real-time data is reshaping fleet strategy—dispelling assumptions, validating best practices, and exposing costly missteps.
A powerhouse panel featuring experts from the American Automotive Leasing Association, CalSTART, and municipal fleet leadership dives into the realities of navigating shifting emissions rules, regulatory waivers, federal agency actions, the future of the EPA’s endangerment finding, and the push for unified standards. They also examine the impacts of tariffs, autonomous vehicle policy, battery innovation, and the accelerating global EV market.
This episode kicks off with a deep dive into the technologies and market forces reshaping today’s fleet landscape. Host Chris Brown is joined by Laolu Adeola (Leke Services), Tyson Jomini (J.D. Power), and Richard Hall (ZappiRide) to break down real-world data, shifting incentives, and practical strategies fleet leaders can use right now.
In the middle of natural disasters fleet managers must shift priorities to protect people and assets. What policy items should be loosened, and when should the line be held?
In this episode, fleet leaders from municipal, university, and private-sector organizations share a candid EV reality check. From infrastructure setbacks and policy whiplash to grant funding, total cost of ownership, and charging resiliency, this conversation dives into what it actually takes to scale electrification in the real world.
After a decade of lagging compensation, fleet manager pay is climbing. But expanding responsibilities, larger fleets, and growing complexity continue to redefine the role.
