The Green Fleet Conference will be taking place in San Diego next month. In light of today’s environmental issues and corporate responsibility expectations, the concept of Green Fleet Management should be important to all fleet managers, whether you have a fleet of one or one thousand. Developing and managing a green fleet requires a thorough knowledge of available products, technologies, and an in-depth cost-benefit analysis, plus much more.
The Green Fleet Management Conference will provide “two intense days of education and dynamic dialogue for green fleet managers,” according to Bob Brown, conference chairman and Automotive Fleet associate publisher. The Green Fleet Management conference “is the only alternative-fuel and technology event that combines and focuses solely on car and truck fleets with an environmental sustainability component,” Brown explained. The Green Fleet event features in-depth education sessions, a first-time ride & drive event, and valuable networking opportunities.
The team at FieldLogix, an industry leading provider of the most unique Green GPS Fleet Management System, is looking forward to the Green Fleet Management event. Not only is it in San Diego where FieldLogix is based, but the Green Fleet Conference will provide attendees with valuable insights, ideas, and examples to help fleet managers create the most cost-effective and environmentally conscious Green Fleet possible for your company.
The Green Fleet Conference is scheduled for Oct. 18-19, 2010 at the San Diego Town & Country Resort. Attendees will receive the following benefits, according to the conference website:
* Focused information dedicated to building cost-effective, sustainable fleets. * Easy-to-implement tools and practical solutions to save money and improve efficiency. * Up-to-date knowledge on the state of the industry and future trends. * Facts and methods to drill down to accurate and relevant information. * Sources and strategies to identify available money to implement and improve green programs. * In-person case studies and real-world examples. * Hands-on vehicle test driving and product demonstrations. * A platform to exchange ideas, ask questions, and build strategic alliances. * The opportunity for personal attention and quality time with current and potential vendors. * Take-home information that will quickly return attendees’ investment.
