ORLAND PARK, IL – October 9, 2009 –A record 111 supplier teams have registered for pre-scheduled, one-on-one meetings during Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week’10 (HDAW’10) held at the Mirage in Las Vegas Monday, Jan. 18 through Thursday, Jan. 21, 2010. Last year, 71 distributor and 96 supplier companies participated in over 1,400 scheduled meetings. With 111 teams already registered, organizers estimate the number of meetings to be well over 1,700 for 2010. Currently, 15% of the registered suppliers are new to the One-on-One meetings which are limited to suppliers that are members of one of the sponsoring organizations and have registered and reserved exhibit space at HDAW ’10. “The supplier registrations for HDAW’10 One-on-One meetings are the largest numbers we have had for any of the previous HDAW conferences,” said Dave Bell, president of Erie Drive Train and co-chairman of HDAW ‘10. “I would like to encourage distributors to consider bringing extra teams to participate in the meetings to take full advantage of the total value of their supplier meeting opportunities.” Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week is the largest North American gathering of the independent heavy-duty industry. More than 1,400 managers and executives from 17 countries – including distributors, manufacturers, service providers, educators and media – attended the 2009 conference in Orlando.
