Bobit Business Media and Auto Rental News announce new dates for the virtual ICRS Experience. The event, previously scheduled for Nov. 2 to 5, will now convene Oct. 19 to 23. The event is being moved to avoid the presidential election on Nov. 3.
"Moving away from election week will allow our event participants and registrants to concentrate more fully on our goal - to provide information, insights, and best practices to help car rental operators prevail through this pandemic," said Chris Brown, executive editor of Auto Rental News and conference chair. "We had a recent opening in our internal schedule that is allowing us to make the change."
Brown added that the date change allowed for an extra day of programming. ICRS Experience will convene for a full week instead of four days.
