Did your emergency response plans adequately cover pandemic response? Join fleet managers from the corporate, government, utility, university, and law enforcement sectors as they discuss and debate what worked well and what failed them in their fleet response.

Enjoying your time? Join the conversation and let us know your favorite moments using #NAFA2020 on Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
 
The virtual expo includes more than 70 suppliers who are ready, willing, and able to help you meet your fleet and mobility needs – all in one place! You can utilize this resource to save time now, rather than searching for resources in the future.  
 
When visiting a booth, make sure you open the Booth Chat on the top navigation bar and say "Hi!" This lets them know you stopped in and that you appreciate their support of the show. This robust event is only possible with the support of our exhibitors.

 

 
With all the content offered during I&E Virtual, it's impossible to sit in on all the different education sessions. But it's not impossible to see them all thanks to on-demand access. All the sessions have been recorded, and whether you want to watch something you missed or rewatch something you enjoyed or valued, they are at your fingertips. 
 
Through Thursday, all you have to do is select the ON DEMAND tab in the top menu on the Lobby page. And when the conference ends, we'll provide you with the details you'll need to access the recorded sessions.
