The IFW takes place as a pre-conference event on 18 April leading into NAFA's Institute & Expo, and will be held in Austin, Texas at the Austin Convention Center.

The event features discussions regarding global insights for bottom-line value, how to develop a results-driven global request-for-proposals protocol, a deep-dive into global policy development, and much more.

In addition to educational sessions, the IFA offers networking opportunities and a “Global Fleet Mentor Roundtable” featuring the best and brightest currently running international fleets.

“As industries continue to grow beyond their borders, and merge with other companies around the globe, fleet professionals can quickly find they need specialized training,” said NAFA’s chief executive officer, Phillip E Russo. “NAFA’s IFA is the perfect venue at which to learn more and gain expert insight into the world of international fleets.”

Russo added: “Whether you are building the infrastructure for a global fleet, are moving from a traditional fleet background to a global dynamic, or are an experienced professional with a complex fleet that spans across numerous nations and cultures, NAFA’s International Fleet Academy will benefit you!”
