GFX Early Bird Discount Pricing Ends May 16
Thursday, May 16, is the last day to save $100 off a Fleet Full Conference Pass and Supplier Pass to the Government Fleet Expo & Conference (GFX).

Government Fleet Expo & Conference (GFX) is one month away, and time is running out to register at the early bird discounted rate. GFX attendees who register by May 16 will receive $100 off a Fleet Full Conference Pass and Supplier Pass. GFX 2019 takes place June 17-20 in New Orleans, and attendees can register at governmentfleetexpo.com.
GFX is the largest gathering place of government fleet managers in the nation and has been named one of the fastest growing conferences of 2018 by Trade Show Executive. The conference includes numerous educational sessions, an exhibit floor packed with fleet technologies, the chance to test drive the latest vehicles, and networking opportunities to learn from and share with your peers.
The Fleet Full Conference Pass is open to public fleet employees and includes access to all sessions, keynotes, the exhibit hall, scheduled meals, and networking events. It also includes access to this year's add-on sessions, customer training from Assetworks and Faster. These sessions are only open to Fleet Full Conference Pass holders and are free with RSVP.
The Supplier Pass is open to suppliers, consultants, and others aligned with the industry. It includes access to all sessions, keynotes, the exhibit hall, scheduled meals, and networking events.
The Spouse Pass, discounted $25 at the early bird rate, includes access to the exhibit hall and lunch in the exhibit hall on Tuesday and Wednesday during the event.
Public fleet employees may also choose to register for a Fleet Exhibits Only Pass, which grants access to the exhibit hall as well as the GFX Block Party & Experience. This pass option is free, but it does not include access to any meals or educational programming.
Need a little help getting to the show? We've put together this Request for Approval kit to help get your supervisors on board, too. The free kit includes a template for a budget approval letter, along with some ways to sell the value of the event to management.
Register for GFX here by May 16 for the $100 discount. Fleet members belonging to associations in partnership with GFX can also use their discount codes on top of the early bird discount rate. Registration will still be available after May 16 and available on-site at the non-discounted rate.
