The conference’s focus is to support a great parts and accessory purchasing experience that will benefit supply chain members and the RV consumer. During the event, aftermarket suppliers and distributors meet during one-on-one “appointment sessions” to pitch new products and review their current offerings. In addition to networking with colleagues with a proven track record in the industry, attendees will hear from thought leaders on the state of the RV industry, develop strategies for expanding the market segment and discuss opportunities for future growth.
