    99% Rated the meeting content as excellent to good

Targeted Audience

99% of conference attendees are used truck industry professionals, which means you spend time interacting with your prospects and customers, not spouses. 80% are used truck dealer managers representing 1,000 sales locations from across North America. This group of dealer attendees is almost equally balanced between franchised and independent outlets. In addition, there are used truck sales professionals from fleets, leasing and finance companies. The final 20% of attendees are your fellow leading industry suppliers. The focus on targeted attendees and providing the best networking will allow you to connect with attendees representing millions of dollars of buying power.

Sponsorship

Sponsoring gives you a direct connection with industry professionals in a format maximizing your networking, sales opportunities and brand extension. Moreover, sponsoring will allow you to immediately take advantage of a third party endorsement from attendees currently using your company’s services or product. Sponsorships are affordable, beginning at $750, and have a range of benefits.
