About The Event

The Fleet Europe Summit is the yearly rendezvous for the fleet and mobility industry, and this year is no exception. The location will be different, though: your computer screen. Get your ticket and join us on 17 and 18 November!

The Fleet Europe Summit is the leading international conference for fleet and mobility leaders, gathering over 1,200 decision-makers and influencers from more than 35 countries each year. It is the best place to stay on top of the transformation of our industry, to navigate innovations and to network with this close community.

Why attend?

This year, the Summit takes places in the virtual world, but it will still offer an outstanding line-up of expert speakers, with face-to-face networking and matchmaking with participants. The Fleet Europe Village, where attendees can meet suppliers and their peers, will also take place in the fully digital platform. This platform offers all possible advantages, with a strong focus on learning, best practice and expertise sharing, networking and creating business opportunities.

And that’s not all. A Fleet Europe Summit can’t exist without any celebrations. The Fleet Europe Awards, celebrating the best achievements of fleet managers and industry giants, also move to the Summit platform, as will the Smart Mobility Challenge and the Remarketing Award.

Another mainstay of the Fleet Europe Summit is the Remarketing Forum, offering insights in vehicle remarketing.

Broaden your scope. We all know about corporate fleet management, we are familiar with targets in cost-efficiency, TCO optimisation, reduced CO2 emissions and securing employee satisfaction.

What if your suppliers do understand your business, but can’t meet your demands? What if you need to build up a fleet today that you could not have predicted yesterday and you have no idea what tomorrow will bring? In this breakout session Paul Jansen, Executive Director of Fleet Forum and Martial Renault-Lasserre, fleet specialist at Doctors Without Borders (Médecins sans Frontières - MSF) will shed light on fleet management in an environment that is both unpredictable and unplannable.
