AT Expo gives you the opportunities to network with industry experts
at the many special events and show floor exhibits. Miller Rocks, above
What makes AT Expo the networking event of the year has a lot to
do with the quality of the people
attending. Start with towing professionals who come from all 50
states to attend, and 20 nations.
You’ll find a depth of experience
in all aspects of the business, from
dealing with the police to towing
for motor clubs; from light duty to
heavy duty recovery to equipment transport. The Exposition is
offering seminars and exhibits
dealing with revenue opportunities; accident cleanup, online auctions, damaged vehicle documentation, and more; you’ll be able to
speak not only with the people
behind these opportunities, but
with the tow business owners
themselves who know about
them firsthand.
The expertise among the
exhibitors on the show floor is
what makes the “Main Event” the
great resource it is. You will talk to
product specialists and engineers
at every exhibit. By investing your
time on the show floor Saturday
and Sunday you’ll not only get a
profound understanding of how
things work, the integrity of the
products and services offered, but
you’ll discover new potential
allies for your towing business;
people, products, and systems
that can make your business hum
and be profitable. Each year features new exhibitors and perennial exhibitors introducing new
products and services.
The Exposition is fast paced and
power packed with products and
ideas. It also provides the opportunities to talk turkey in a relaxed
atmosphere, whether on the show
floor, during hospitalities and
special events, in the pubs inside
the many AT Expo hotels or where
towing professionals congregate
about the Harbor.
