PRELIMINARY PROGRAMME

Join the leading international fleet decision makers in Hamburg

This year, together with Europe’s leading fleet experts, we have worked on understanding the needs and requirements of the industry - especially of fleet customers - to build the programme of the Fleet Europe Forum (Hamburg, 19 November).

We invite you to turn today’s vehicle fleet challenges into successful opportunities as we look into the future of car and LCV fleet management, and also see big ticket fleet topics like policy, driver behaviour, alternative powertrains and corporate mobility put under the microscope, whilst exploring the Northern European fleet market to learn from differences.

So whether you are a newcomer to fleet management or a seasoned veteran there’s plenty on offer at this year’s Forum, even more so as the Fleet Europe Village will showcase the latest products, services and innovations around the connected car, alternative powertrains, corporate car sharing and LCV management.

And let’s not forget about the grand finale to a full day of learning, sharing and networking: the 2014 Fleet Europe Awards Ceremony will celebrate excellence in international fleet management by unveiling the winners of the much coveted Fleet Europe Awards.

What’s more, as we focus on providing further training and networking opportunities to our audience, we have prepared another two exciting events.

On 18 November, fleet and remarketing executives will have the opportunity to gather in smaller numbers: on the one hand fleet customers can join the members of the International Fleet Managers Institute (IFMI) to discuss and debate driver engagement and behavioural change; on the other hand Fleet Europe organises its first ever Remarketing Forum, exploring best practices and efficiencies in the second life of fleet and leasing vehicles.

We look forward to seeing you in Hamburg and invite you to visit the Forum website (forum.fleeteurope.com) to register and secure your seat to the leading European event for international corporate fleet executives.

Caroline Thonnon, Partner & Steven Schoefs, Chief Editor
