Training for this year includes sessions about competing with an outside company for parts management, new patrol vehicles and features, electric vehicles and deployment best practices, leadership in the fleet industry, succession planning, understanding procurement to have more of a voice in the process, and alternative financing options for those with limited capital budgets.

Speakers include Rudy Ruettiger, Consultants Bob Stanton and Steve Saltzgiver, award-winning fleet managers from around the country, representatives from OEMs and technology companies, and more.
