Some 890 private fleet professionals converged on Cincinnati for the NPTC 2010 Annual Education Management Conference and Exhibition. While there, they participated in numerous educational sessions, award recognition programs, the largest exhibit hall in NPTC history, and numerous programming and networking opportunities. We are in the process of preparing a summary of the event. Stay tuned.

Here's what last year's attendees had to say:

• The content of the program continues to provide new ideas that I can bring back for improvement.

• Very professionally done. A broad array of quality topics.

• Wonderful atmosphere. Great chemistry amidst the members.

• I think the focus on education is on target; also can see how the organization is really working to understand the members' needs and interests of the members.

• This conference was the best I've attended yet.

• There were many great contacts and good sessions.

• This was my first NPTC annual conference, and I was very impressed! The agenda was planned extremely well with the balance of the workshops, general sessions and exhibition.

• I particularly liked the presentation format as it allowed more interaction between the attendees and the presenters.

• The conference was very professional, the exhibit hall was fabulous and the vendor sponsored meals were terrific.

• I met many people I had worked with over the phone, I feel like it really helps the relationship to talk to someone in person. We also met 4-5 other fleets that we are not currently working with and we already have began to do more business with them.

• I have several takeaways that will yield significant "bottom-line" benefits.

• Great seminars and wonderful potential for networking amidst peers.

• I always come away with some items that I can implement which bring in more value than the cost of attending.

• The ROI for participating in the NPTC annual conference and educational materials has always paid back very quickly. Every year, I come away with many new ideas and suggestions on how to improve our fleet operation.

• Good exhibit hall with a lot of good variety. Seemed like more of the booths were set up better to educate on their products or product innovation.

• Vendors had a lot of good information to share. It was great to see such a turn out. Without the vendors, you cannot see & hear what the industry has to offer.
