How Fleet CIOs are Leading their Companies Out of Recession - In a year when cost-cutting is paramount, and when CIOs are being recognized for leading their companies' recession strategies, the event will focus on how IT and technology can make deep cost cuts...

Though summer may be over, things are really heating up for the eyefortransport 7th truckIT Forum, October 20-21 in Dallas. It’s the largest meeting of CIOs and Fleet Directors in the Commercial Fleet Industry, and over 90 senior executives are already confirmed to attend [see who's attending below].

Because we know that travel budgets are tight at the moment, we've worked with our sponsors to allow CIOs and other senior fleet IT decision-makers to attend at no cost - including one night's accommodation. To secure one of these sponsored complimentary passes, just apply online here: www.truckitforum.com/register.shtml. Please also forward this to any colleagues who may also be interested.

In a year when cost-cutting is paramount, and when CIOs are being recognized for leading their companies' recession strategies, the event will focus on how IT and technology can make deep cost cuts in 4 key areas: Asset Maximization, Driver Management, IT Infrastructure and Green. Within each of these areas, industry-leading speakers will be offering case studies and proven strategies for how IT can make a significant bottom-line difference.
