In November, Holman, a global automotive services organization and premier fleet management provider, hosted Holman Drive in Boca Raton, Florida. More than 150 fleet, finance, and procurement professionals as well as several automotive and equipment manufacturers convened for three days of lively, interactive sessions, networking events, and thought-provoking conversations. The various sessions and panel discussions explored a number of the key trends influencing the industry today including emerging technology, supply chain disruptions, and the challenges commercial fleets are likely to face in 2024 and beyond.
Holman Drive attendees convene for breakfast at the iconic Boca Raton Luxury Resort prior to day one’s sessions.
