Executives from four major manufacturers will present their views about the industry and the role and future of distribution. Moderated by Michael Marks, this OEM Symposium takes place Thursday, Jan. 21 during the AED Summit 2010 in San Antonio.
It's an unprecedented opportunity to listen to perspectives from some of the world's largest equipment manufacturers -- together on one stage at AED.
Introducing The Outrageous, All-New, Unforgettable
AED Summit 2010 Convention & CONDEX
We have listened to AED dealer members and acted upon what they are calling for from their association's annual event. It boils down to some critical elements:
- dealers want way more pure networking opportunity both with other dealers and with their manufacturer partners – they say they'd turn out in droves if more manufacturers attended the AED meeting in January;
- dealers want high quality, high class, professional education content for both executives and managers;
- dealers want and need to be updated on legislative issues that have direct bearing on their businesses.
The new AED meeting addresses all these top priorities.
First order of business, AED is working in cooperation with the Association of Equipment Manufacturers to forge a marquee program featuring the senior-level executives from the world's largest OEMs.
Plus, we are redrawing the entire convention schedule and carving out brand new networking events (aka parties) and spaces where dealers can chill out, move about, make new connections and reconnect with old friends and business partners.
We're designing a huge AED-AEM media event to give manufacturers and dealers one powerful and united voice to Congress and the nation that urgent federal action is needed to halt the construction equipment industry depression.
And we are hosting nationally known experts and presenters to provide forecasting and in-depth business strategic planning, as well as professional dealer management instruction packed with ROI for the sales, rental, and product support departments of your company.
On Jan. 20-22, San Antonio will be the stage for the redesigned, yes even reimagined, annual AED event, which has a new name: AED Summit 2010 is for every AED member. The best of what you've always come for will be present – but our format, our look, our style is fresh, new and relevant to what every dealer principal and manager needs to re-energize professionally, as well as firm up the business direction for 2010.
It is quite definitively the must-attend equipment event of the year.
