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.
