EUFMC Attendees Say

Of the conferences I attend throughout the year, EUFMC brings the most value to me as a Fleet Manager. I really appreciate the opportunity to network with other fleet managers across the country. The equipment exhibits with key suppliers are helpful and I enjoy the presentations from industry colleagues. Since the focus of the conference is the fleet manager, the presentations and discussions do a great job of hitting on the challenges of today, and topics we care about. I’m glad the opportunity to attend EUFMC arose. I look forward to continuing to attend, taking the opportunity to share our experiences, and learning from our peers in the industry.
