NAFA announces agenda for 2014 International Fleet Academy

By / 10 years ago / News / No Comments

This year’s International Fleet Academy takes place 14-16th July at the Rosen Shingle Creek resort in Orlando, Florida, with topics ranging from cloud-based location intelligence software platforms, to fleet centralisation versus regionalised structure, standardisation of goods and services, staffing, how to identify and visit the right regional people, and more. 



‘NAFA membership wanted an event where global fleet leaders could engage each other on a peer-to-peer level,’ said NAFA’s chief executive officer Phillip E Russo. ‘The IFA gives global fleet managers just that, so that they can share with each other with confidence.’


The line-up of leading global fleet professionals also includes Joe LaRosa, NAFA’s current international vice president and director of global fleet services for Merck & Co; Yvan Lupien, president at LogCAN Consulting, Canada; Kent Rathwell, president and founder, Sun Country Highway; Bart Vanham, partner, BVH&C Consulting, Namur, Belgium; and many more.



Other topics of discussion at IFA include: Global Information Systems; Fleet and Taxation around the Globe; Global Funding Differences Using Finance Leases, Operating Leases, and Capital Allocation Strategies; Global RFP Funding; Global Fleet Procurement and Supply Chain; Global Fuel Card Acceptance; Duty of Care: Global Health and Safety Standards; and much more. The IFA is the conference that consistently delivers the most, and most relevant, global fleet information in the field.



In addition to the educational sessions, NAFA’s International Fleet Academy offers exclusive networking opportunities and a cocktail reception and dinner each night. 

Registration costs are $799 for NAFA members and $1,299 for non-members. Fleet professionals who join NAFA as they register will receive a year of NAFA membership and registration to the IFA for the low price of $839 – a savings of $779.
