Why Are Others Signed Up? Here’s What They Said!

“Out of all the fleet conferences available, I would encourage government fleet leaders to attend GFX. Particularly for the newer fleet professional, the content of the sessions plus the networking opportunities make it a great value for the cost.”

Ron Lindsey, CAFS, director, San Bernardino County Fleet Management, California

“GFX brings the very best of fleet professionals and vendors into one location for an exchange of product information, experiences, and ideas. GFX does a great job balancing the conference content to benefit everyone from the newbie in the industry to the seasoned veterans.”

Erik Metzger, fleet manager, City of Conroe, Texas

“At GFX 2019 in New Orleans, I was joined by my two deputies. Although I was at the event as a speaker, I told them there are a lot of ideas from across the fleet industry we don’t know about that we should note…We brought back a list of 25 different ideas to explore.”

Mahanth Joishy, fleet service superintendent, City of Madison, Wisconsin
