BRUSSELS, BELGIUM - The next International Fleet Managers Institute (IFMI) session will take place on November 21st 2012 at the Hotel Martinez in Cannes, France. The IFMI is a one-day expert training session, exclusively for international fleet managers and fleet executives.

Scope. The European context currently leads to an important decrease in business confidence and growth opportunities since the economic crisis and the financial troubles. On the other side, the BRICS countries and the United States, considered as new emerging regions and markets, show more room for economical growth. To further optimize the management of their respective fleets, Fleet Managers and Executives now start looking beyond the European borders and get active into the other regions of the world. This mainstream development is the principle reason for organizing the session “Focus On Global Fleet Management.”

Benefits of participating. Participants to the IFMI will find the responses on the primary question: “To go global or not to go global?”, hear valuable input from expert speakers on the “regional approaches” and learn about company car fleet taxation differences between Europe and the Rest of the World. The case studies and two workshops, dedicated to “internal processes” and to “market and suppliers,” as well as the car manufacturer perspective on the developments will bring all the additional clarifications for a comprehensive understanding of these new global fleet management trends and challenges.
