TRANSCRIPT

Thank you for your interest in the 2019 IPWEA Australasian Fleet Conference. The firstquestion you probably have is: “What makes this conference different to all the other fleetconferences out there?”. It’s simple: for one thing, we’re not some private conference organiser charging you afortune for attendance. We have been advising the Australasian fleet industry on bestpractice since 2004. Other commercially run conferences frequently use IPWEA experts astheir keynote speakers. In 2017, we decided it was time for IPWEA to host its own fleet conference. The feedbackwe received to the inaugural IPWEA Australasian Fleet Conference was nothing short ofastounding, with some attendees commenting that it was the best fleet conference theyhad ever been to. If you were a part of the inaugural conference, thank you! The 2018conference was also a resounding success with an increase in delegates, sponsors andexhibitors. Dollars spent are reinvested back into IPWEA FLEET resources for Fleetpractitioners. Another strong program will be presented and we’ll be attracting the key decision makers inplant and vehicle fleets and there will be plenty of time for networking and demonstratingyour products and services. That’s why you should sponsor or exhibit. You’ll get yourinvestment back tenfold. See you there! Robert Fuller CEO, Institute of Public Works Engineering Australasia

The conference is a premier event bringing fleet practitioners from councils, public sector agencies and theprivate sector together with suppliers and technical practitioners to learn the latest in strategy, resources andperformance to deliver best practice fleet management. The IPWEA Fleet Conference is the culmination of a lot of work from the Fleet Council and will bring togetherfleet managers, workshop staff, fleet stakeholders and the industry in a program that is relevant and addressescurrent and future challenges. See you there! Ross Moody, IPWEA Director Fleet
