The OEM executive session takes place Sunday, May 6, at 10 a.m. The leasing company executive session takes place Monday, May 7, at 11:15 am. Both sessions are part of the FMI-LEG experience, which includes more than 50 general and concurrent sessions, 300 fleet-minded exhibitors and more networking than all other industry events combined.
