Government Fleet Expo & Conference (GFX) has announced the training sessions for this year’s conference in June. Educational programming will feature 14 full sessions, with additional shorter sessions focusing on technology and how it affects fleets.
GFX, now in its 11th year, unites public fleet managers for three days of training, networking, and discovering new vehicles and products.
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.
For the full training schedule, visit the GFX website. Additional educational sessions will be added as they are confirmed.
GFX takes place June 4-7 in San Diego. The early bird deadline for a registration discount is May 18.
