The RV Industry Association has announced that the 2018 Aftermarket Executive Conference will be held Aug. 14 to 16 at the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort, Bonita Springs, Fla. The annual executive conference is a three-day event where prominent suppliers and distributors in the RV aftermarket industry meet to strategize, introduce new products and services, write some business and network.
“The RVIA Aftermarket Executive Conference has long been the premier event in the aftermarket bringing together suppliers, distributors, manufacturers agents and associated members all in one place for three days of one-on-one meetings, group lunches and plenty of time for networking and socializing,” said Steve Johnson, co-chair of the RVIA Aftermarket Committee. “We also hear from several dealers regarding concerns that they may have relating to our industry, and ideas for how the aftermarket can better serve their needs. This is a great opportunity for all members involved in the aftermarket to meet and advance not only our own individual businesses but the entire aftermarket as well.”
The 2018 RVIA Aftermarket Executive Conference will be managed by the RVIA Events Team. With RVAA members voting to join RVIA in August 2017, the 2018 Executive Conference will be the first official event planned by RVIA.
RVAA members will have the opportunity to schedule one-on-one meetings with top distributors and suppliers in the aftermarket industry, and get a first-look at new products and programs before the fall/winter RV shows.
“We are thrilled to help the aftermarket community grow their event, while delivering value to members and the community,” said Liz Crawford, senior VP of trade shows and events. “We met with our RVAA colleagues at the National RV Trade Show to map out a future course for the event.”
