Work Truck magazine, along with sister publications Automotive Fleet and HDT, will be hosting the all-new Work Truck Exchange (WTX). The event is planned as an intimate meeting that pairs a select group of fleet managers with industry suppliers at an all-inclusive, networking retreat designed to accelerate the achievement of each participant’s unique business goals.

The hosted buyer event, which will be held Nov. 9-11, 2016, at the Scottsdale Resort at McCormick Ranch in Scottsdale, Ariz., will focus on fleets consisting of light- and medium-duty trucks and vans.

A Custom Exchange of Information & Ideas

Hosted buyer events are a concept imported from the European business market more than a decade ago. They create an informal setting in which qualified buyers, or those with the decision-making responsibilities at a fleet, in this case, are paired with companies attuned to their specific industry.

The event consists of roundtable discussions, small audience presentations, and one-on-one meetings between buyers and the companies that serve them.

Guests must go through a qualification process that guarantees they are a perfect match for the vendors and suppliers also in attendance. Selected guests receive an all-expense paid trip to participate.

As an active participant at WTX, fleet managers will have an opportunity to connect and collaborate with other action-minded individuals involved in commercial fleets and exchange ideas with fleet managers, maintenance managers, and fleet executives.

The entire event is designed to help fleet managers exchange information, explore ideas, extend their network, and expand options.

In addition, every WTX participant receives a custom-made, personalized agenda that offers:

  • Insights and advice from leaders in the industry.

  • Interactive roundtable discussions with industry peers.

  • Dynamic group presentations from industry suppliers.

  • Custom, one-on-one consultations with industry suppliers.

  • Unique, engaging, and memorable social functions.

  • Solutions to current and future challenges.

Work Truck, Automotive Fleet, HDT, and Bobit Business Media have an established relationship with fleet professionals and the companies that serve them, which enables a deep-rooted understanding of the industry and the issues it faces, as well as the solutions that can best fit a fleet’s needs.
