1. Learn from your peers at IFMI

The International Fleet Managers’ Institute has been organising masterclasses for 18 years. This years edition will focus on developing strategies to save costs while creating added value. The full-day training session includes expert presentations and best-practice sharing via case study presentations and interaction with peers.

2. Test the cars you'll be driving tomorrow

Once you go electric, you don't go back. It's a saying most EV drivers agree on, but the challenge is to get people behind the wheel of an electric car...

Don't miss this opportunity to learn from leading professionals in fleet and mobility.

5. Meet start-ups before they hit the big time

The Smart Mobility Area is a part of the Fleet Europe Village dedicated to new and innovative mobility solutions and services. In this zone, the Smart Mobility Talks will host various industry insiders who will present their solutions, whereas the Start-Up Café will provide the decor to meet and share ideas with start-ups in the mobility area.
