Global Fleet Conference is moving: see you in Lisbon (Cascais) on 2-4 May!
Get out your calendar app – the Global Fleet Conference is moving! Previously scheduled for 16-18 May in Rome, the event has been moved forward to 2-4 May in Lisbon (Cascais), Portugal. This year’s theme couldn’t be more timely: Sustainability.
In just 10 years, the Global Fleet Conference has established itself as the only event where both fleets and suppliers with a truly global reach can meet and mingle, to learn from each other and to establish relationships that will advance their strategic goals. And this year’s theme couldn’t be more timely: Sustainability, the engine for global fleet management.
Competitive advantage
Sustainability is no longer just a marginal add-on. More and more, it’s a central plank of corporate strategies – especially in terms of fleet and mobility. As EVs increasingly achieve and surpass cost parity with ICEs, sustainability is more than a CSR selling point, it’s turning into a competitive advantage.
Of course, this presents specific challenges for global fleets, which operate across markets that aren’t all equally sophisticated. Yet also in developing markets, sustainability can be turned from a drag on resources into a net benefit for fleets, and overall corporate targets.
In a compact format of just 48 hours, several hundred Global and Regional Fleet & Mobility managers from around the world will gather to engage with experts, peers and prospectives on precisely this theme.
The 10th annual Global Fleet Conference will take place from 2 to 4 May in the Hotel Cascais Miragem. Here are the event’s main sessions:
Monday 2 May: pre-conference networking

- Fleet LatAm Business Networking Group
